Chaos in the House. McCarthy has no control over what's going on.

quote:
House Republicans failed for the second time this week to pass a procedural hurdle for one of its 12 annual spending bills, a sign of the ongoing chaos over how to fund the government in the next fiscal year.

The Thursday vote failed 212-216, with five Republicans joining Democrats to tank the procedural bill, known as a rules vote. One GOP lawmaker voted "no" in a procedural maneuver to allow the legislation to be brought up again.

The five conservatives who tanked the bill are Reps. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Eli Crane, R-Ariz., and Matt Rosendale, R-Mont.

Just heard he's sending them home...

quote:
House Republican leaders are sending members home for the week amid deep divisions over funding the government ahead of the rapidly-approaching September 30 deadline, according to multiple GOP sources.

They had planned to be in session over the weekend to pass a stop-gap bill, but the decision to send members home shows they lack the votes to avoid a government shutdown. The move came after House Republicans dramatically bucked Speaker Kevin McCarthy and GOP leadership on a procedural vote over a Pentagon funding bill, with the members now not set to return to session until next week.

Dems have two strategies.

1. Watch the GOP self-destruct. Don't lend a hand, don't interfere. Pick up the pieces.

Yep. But to over 1/4 of the country, you're the enemy .... until, of course, they, or someone in their family, needs you.

Just saw some TV interview (maybe a clip from Fox) where the bobblehead "reporter" was talking to some elderly white dude at a MAGA rally for Trump. The reporter was asking him about how Biden this and Biden that was affecting him.

Oh, wait. Here it is ...

The cognitive dissonance. It hurts ...

In the good old days bipartisanship got things accomplished for the good of the country.

Working with the other side of the aisle is now a reason to try to oust your party’s leader.

There is something terribly, terribly wrong with this way of thinking.

Crazy
