Kind of makes me want to see this house speaker thing drag on forever.

Yup. The best thing government can do for the American People is nothing. Nothing at all.

All appropriations starts in the HOR. Period. The senate cannot get around this. Right now, we have no functioning Government.

McConnell is scum.
If R’s had decency this crap would be filibustered and never receive a vote.
We need a speaker who will not allow this crap.
Nu i don’t think we’ll get one

$4.7 billion requested by the White House to provide transportation, housing and other services to migrants who have come into the country from Mexico.

Biden let them in; he needs to ask for funds to expel them, not feed them. The DNC has $$$; Chief-showers-with-daughter can ask them to feed the invaders.

$4.7 Billion is four Thousand seven hundred times one million dollars. Evenly distributed, that would be 94 payouts of one million dollars to every state. This is ridiculous. The politicos in Washington act like 1 billion = 2 million instead of 1000 million

McConnell said the Senate would review the $100 billion emergency spending request Biden sent to Congress Friday and craft its own package “in the coming days.”

It’s amazing how rapidly our POS leadership can react when they perceive that their donors’ financial assets are at stake.
