Conference fails to approve procedural motion to take up defense spending bill as government shutdown looms
The House Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy, was dealt his second humiliating defeat of the week on Thursday, when his conference again failed to approve a procedural motion as members continued to clash over government spending levels with just days left to avert a federal shutdown.
With no clear path forward in Republicans’ negotiations, the House concluded its work on Thursday without any stated plan to reconvene on Friday.
“Discussions related to [fiscal year 2024] appropriations are ongoing,” Congressman Tom Emmer, the House Republican whip, said in a statement. “Members are advised that ample notice will be given ahead of any potential votes tomorrow or this weekend.”
The nihilist party.
Nihilist? Yeah right. Either the Toddler party, the Bought Party™ or both.
They’re the contrarian party. They exist in a perpetual state of doing the opposite of Democrats and being angry about it.
Nihilists? Fuck me…I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude. At least it's an ethos!
They're a reboot of the Know-Nothing Party
