Government shutdown looms as new speaker struggles to control hardliners | CNN Politics

"New House Speaker Mike Johnson may already be losing his first big clash with the hard-right lawmakers who are making the Republican majority and the nation ungovernable as time races down to yet another federal funding cut-off," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis

Carl Warnke I am making this post so it will show back up as a future memory on my timeline:
Today is last full day my president Donald J. Trump will be in office.Gasoline is currently $2.15 per gallon. Interest rates are 2.25 percent for a 30 year mortgage. The stock market closed at 30829.40 though we have been fighting COVID for 11 months. Our GDP growth for the 3rd Qtr was 33.1 percent. We had the best economy ever until COVID and it is recovering well. We have not had any new wars or conflicts in the last 4 years. North Korea has been under control and has not been testing any missiles. ISIS has not been heard from for over 3 years. The housing market is the strongest it has been in years. Homes have appreciated at an unbelievable rate and sell well. And let’s not forget that peace deals in the Middle East were signed by 4 countries—unprecedented!
Unemployment sits at 6.7% in spite of COVID.
#Biden takes over on 1-20-21. Let's see how this will work out.
THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH....
Copy and share..if you would like. I did from a friend.


Shame, shame, shame on those hard-right lawmakers who are putting the nation and her tired, hard-working citizens through another threatened government shutdown. How dare they expect our military men and woman to continue working without pay as 1,000s are now in direct line of fire? These lawmakers are heartless individuals whose only concerns are doing what A$$hole DT wants them to do. They are hypocrites who say this country is at the heart of their best interests. They definitely do not deserve to be in office. If there is a shutdown causing thousands of federal workers to be off the job and without pay, then all of our representatives should be forced to stay on the job, WITHOUT PAY, until such time as they reach a decision and agreement that benefits all citizens of this nation. It takes only a few bad apples to spoil a barrel-full. It’s time to throw away those bad apples.


Kathy Connors I often think of Trump's lie about the dangers of Covid as being a strategy or revenge to get back at us citizens for impeaching him.. He often went to his rallies discouraging his people from wearing masks etc. Many of his own supporters died, along with the Dems etc. Anyways, Trump was so close to winning, and I thought had those Republican supporters not died he may have had enough to win. It goes with your idea that sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. If people really think Trump is the best then let them trust the people's decision and run an honest race.


Seriously perverse to not attempt to pass a budget. I had hopes for you but I see now on this 2 part PARTIAL, budget you are just another fast talking, do nothing Leader.
Do your job and pass a budget funding all elements of a budget, pay the military, pay government workers, TSA, schools etc. Not being able to bring a full budget to the table is a disgrace. SIX MONTHS AND NO BUDGET.
All the while you focus on insignificant, issues dating back to when Trump was President and did nothing but help the wealthy with a tax cut. 10 trillion dollars in tax cuts has driven this deficit!! Stop the madness!!
DO YOUR ONLY JOB!!


Carl Warnke it’s pretty sad that democrats who are supposed to be more educated can’t see how the democrats have used the American legal system to destroy a political opponent. What is happening in New York is a disgrace . Also I am not a trump supporter. Frankly both of these corrupt parties need to be destroyed and removed from American politics . They are corrupt and evil . A question what a the difference between the nazi party, the communist it pary, the democratic party and the Republican Party . Answer . There is is no difference they are all parties that serve there own interest .


Justin Spencer That's lunacy . The left wants to fix one issue then move on to the next . Republicans have been harping on the border for decades . But propose no solutions that stand a chance of passing . Democrats twist themselves into pretzels to find common ground and end up with something they really don't want but would show a sign of progress . And as soon as Republicans get wind of it, they move the goal posts and we're back to square one . Republicans are the party of all or nothing at all or my or the high way . Which is why Democrats appear to be weak, because in their view, it is unrealistic to think you can get your way all the time in a population of 330 million people who all want their slice of the pie .


Phyllis Vaughan Leathers hamas is an idea and struggle for freedom from occupation, can your room or home be taken from you by force?! Of course you don't. So how do you want the Palestinians to leave their land to those who took it by force?
There is a confusion of concepts.... The oppressor has become aggrieved, and the victim has become an aggressor
For example, in the 1945 Algiers War France killed 45,000 Algerians in one day. When the people came out to defend themselves and their lands, France called the rebels terrorists and bandits. Strangely, to date, France has not recognized its crimes against humanity.
The same thing happens today in Palestine?! They call Hamas a terrorist, and the truth are revolutionaries defending themselves and their land?!
The beginning of humanity and freedom begins when you stand by the truth and not falsify reality and overturn terminology?


Joey Pi you mean the spending republicans are ok with as long as it’s their agenda?

“A blank China check book”? Yeah you lose all credibility saying that.

And yet Biden is standing up to Putin. He has since Putin started the war. Doesn’t matter if Putin doesn’t fear Biden, Biden is still standing against him. Putin was going to invade regardless. Only difference is trump would’ve helped putin do it.

Good job repeating right wing talking points with no substance. Still doesn’t mean Biden has stood against our enemies or worked for us. Let me know when republicans start doing the same


Mikel Deschesnes 1. Name calling is for children. 2. If you’re referring to the few stumbles of no what a non issue. 3. Ukraine is fighting for its freedom which Americans know a little something about. We wouldn’t be a nation if not for the aid of friends. 4. Show where Zelenski said that. 5. Republicans don’t respect elections, rig the system in their favor, and even right now are trying to throw out the elections in ohio and Michigan. And trump will not respect our votes and will try to steal our White House and make himself a dictator. He’s admitted as much.

No accountability no money is right. Republicans need to remember who they work for. And if they don’t they’ll get voted out….if they allow it of course. You may sit down now


10º"At this point in history, President Biden has lost control of the executive process, and that is not likely to improve.

Two vivid examples make the case which is indisputable. The open border has placed an enormous financial burden on cities and states, and now, thousands more migrants are marching toward Texas.

In addition, the millions coming into the USA present a security nightmare.

Mr. Biden could suspend all asylum requests, something most responsible presidents would do. He refuses to even attempt to solve the problem.

The second situation may very well end in the President's impeachment in the House. There is no question that Hunter and Jim Biden sold influence to foreign concerns using Joe Biden's name. Again, this is beyond a reasonable doubt.

Yet the President denies any impropriety and will not even acknowledge the scheme. History will not be kind.

To me, Mr. Biden is delusional and deeply out of touch with reality. America is suffering because of that."
