On the government shutdown, here’s what you’re not being told.
If Republican Senators wanted to pass the CR and reopen the government they could, by using the nuclear option to override the 60 vote rule and pass the CR with a simple majority vote. We have 53 R Senators.
This is what I have proposed all along, only I would like Congress to pass new Republican appropriation bills, instead of CRs, and use the nuclear option to pass them through the Senate.
This would deliver our campaign promises to the American people.
This would allow us to bring important appropriation funding (taxpayer dollars) back to our districts for much needed projects like infrastructure, water, law enforcement, and community needs, which by the way none of this funding happens under perpetual CRs.
The Senate just recently used the nuclear option to push through a large package of the President’s nominees. They know how to do it.
And as far as worrying that using the nuclear option would damage partisan relations, let’s be real, that ship has sailed a long time ago. There are no partisan relations.
Instead, Republicans need to learn how to weld power when they have it and govern.
@DefiyantlyFree The same intelligence that got us into Iraq which was false? So continuing the military industrial complex by giving them grants to buy our weapons is a good thing?
@___Skyfire___@mattgaetz They receive billions to spend to buy our weapons through grants. Meaning we’re essentially giving them weapons. How is that good for our economy?
@TitusMac3@its_The_Dr So you’re just totally ignorant to the massive protests that were happening after the tariffs because their economy was crumbling after trying not to sell products to America? Their economy is entirely dependent on American consumers.
"Do you know this is our first political assassination since 1968?"
"Charlie Kirk was bringing the truth to college campuses, mainly the beauty of God and country. They feared him because he was actually changing the minds of college kids. Showing them the insanity of what they're being taught."
If we want to stop political violence like what happened to Charlie Kirk, we have to be honest about the people who are celebrating it and the people who are financing it.
