Mike is doing a magnificent job so far. Go after a Dem...

Give them just enough money so that the lights go out during Biden’s State of the Union speech.

[curious7]

If they don’t, current AI tools technology could generate one for them.

[Gritty]

The goal should not be "keep the government open". The goal should be "keep America from destruction"!

Unless we completely close the border to illegal immigration NOW and get rid of the millions that have invaded that is highly improbable to succeed no matter what political agreements are made across the imaginary political aisle. All these other compromises are America-murdering bullsh!t.

The American People are done with political backscratching crap. We want genuine results that benefit us and not politicians and their donors!

Send the money directly to Ukraine and make Joe and Hunter and Kamala have to claw it back to keep the government here going.

[mbrfl]

Is he going to even try to do one of those this year? I can’t even imagine him lasting 5 minutes.

[Mark17]

I am sure that is exactly how it goes down. The rats seem to regularly catch pubbies in sexual peccadillos.

[PIF]

Especially ones that look as naive as M. Johnson

[CodeToad]

If they cannot originate a spending bill in the House then shut down the government!

[Chickensoup]

Trump said pull back bennies and most will leave. One or two months in cold will do it too. No housing or bennies

[Owen]

The deficit for this year is projected at $1.8T.

How does that work with this spending of $1.59T. There is some off budget spending or these numbers don’t work.

[FredSchwartz]

why aren’t they creating a budget?

[FredSchwartz]

why aren’t they creating a budget?

[Jane Long]

Sell out.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

What happens to law and order when migrants don’t get their free stuff?

Then we get an expensive lesson about why paying more for American labor is better than trying to import cheap labor.

[Sacajaweau]

Biden proposed 1.73 trillion

[Eagles6]

I agree.

[ronnie raygun]

These scumbags have brought us to the brink

[Chickensoup]

Most people I have spoken to from other countries have found the USA to be a hard country to come to and succeed in. A number of them were not happy to be here it was not their preference for refugee resettlement. They wanted the euros.
