McCarthy races to avoid government shutdown in ANOTHER fight over spending cuts with GOP hardliners

Congress poised for messy September as McCarthy races to avoid government shutdown

Quote

GOP hardliners in the House are eager to play a game of chicken over the end-of-the-month deadline to fund federal agencies, seeking to force the White House and Senate to make a choice: Accept a slew of conservative priorities or risk a debilitating government shutdown.

And caught in the middle, once again, is Speaker Kevin McCarthy. 

 

This was already settled, but hardliners want another bite at the apple.

Not sure McCarthy is "in the middle." He is promising a sham (evidence free) impeachment inquiry of Joe to avert the shutdown.

As usual, House Republicans don't care about the government operating.

White House ramps up war room to battle expected GOP impeachment inquiry

Quote

The White House has stood up a war room of two dozen lawyers, legislative aides and communications staffers to lead an aggressive response to a likely Republican impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

The effort, as described by eight people familiar with the plans, has been taking shape for months in the White House counsel’s office as part of the response to Republican-led House investigations. Biden’s aides and allies say they are preparing to vigorously push back against an impeachment inquiry and present it as an evidence-free partisan sham that shows a GOP penchant for chaos…

Biden aides have looked to 1998, when the House impeached President Bill Clinton, as a model for how to mount an effective defense — and make the GOP pay a political price for overreaching — said a source familiar with the strategy. … If Republicans follow through with threats of an impeachment inquiry in the coming weeks or months, the White House plans to try to present a split-screen in which the president is focused on economic issues that affect people’s lives.

A shutdown sounds like an excellent idea. Let's shut it down until Trump or Vivek get into office.

Because we need the US military and border control and the rest of the government to keep operating. Because senior citizens will die if Medicare stops paying.

oh, the essential shit keeps going because they've already shoe horned themselves into importance. 

I'm talking about stupid shit like the FBI, DoJ, the US Dept of Education and so on.

Interesting how police, courts and schools have become stupid shit to the MAGA cult.
