McConnell announces Senate Republicans will defer to House spending bill
The Hill va Yahoo ^ | September 30th, 2023 | Al Weaver

Posted on 09/30/2023 2:51:41 PM PDT by Mariner

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Senate Republicans will vote against advancing the chamber’s bipartisan stopgap spending bill as members see an emerging bill coming from the House as the main way to avoid a government shutdown.

McConnell told reporters that the House bill, which is a 45-day continuing resolution that includes disaster aid funding but no money for Ukraine, is the preferred option of his members, and that they will overwhelmingly vote against cloture in order to focus on that option.

“The Ukraine funding will be discussed and voted on in a separate bill.”

A majority of GOP House members oppose further funding.

It’s very unlikely to even get a vote in the House.

Time for back door supplying of tactical nukes for Ukraine. They detonate 6 or 12 of these inside Russia proper with horrendous loss of life AND military targets will change Putins mind about his special operation in Ukraine. Boom! Tables turned for sure.

I assume you just built a backyard fallout shelter and are looking for a chance to try it out.

I like the odds on IF Putin launches strategic missiles and if yes whether they affect me. Time for rubber to meet the road or not. We’ve all been dancing poorly about thus for decades. Aren’t you curious too? :)

God has tended to look reliably look out fir fools, drunkards, and the United States. I believe he has a soft spot for us and our misadventures.

Yes.
But they WONT end the funding.
Not now.
Not ever.
We have been and are being played for the fools we are. I think we are very close to an inflection point on our human history. Partly what Glenn Beck describes as the Fourth Turning occurring now. Think what you want of Beck. And me. It doesn’t really matter. No one holding the switches is asking our opinions. Maybe they never did.

Biden refuses to sign it, throws it back at congress and blames the shutdown on Republicans.

No worries ... this whole s*#tshow confuses me. Thanks.

BTW, according to Chad Pergram the Senate is voting on this now.

Let's see, there's a war in a country that has no real pressing national interest other than being a center for money laundering operations set up by our politicians and the possible outcome of our involvement is nuclear exchange.

Seems worth it.

Once again the surrender monkey GOP prove that they are just Democrat light.

The world would be able to determine where they originated from.

An utterly insane idea.

This is the end state of Globohomo support for Ukraine. Global nuclear war if they can’t have LGBT and Oligarch rule in Kiev.

I live less than 2km from a major West Coast naval base.

My mother lives even closer and on a direct line across the water from it.

I don’t wish to die to make the world safe for Globohomo rule in Kiev.
