Trying to get all of the website access that I need before the government shuts down so that I can continue to work on my essential project of certifying spacecraft to carry humans after the government shuts down. 🤦‍♀️

It’s fine. Really. It’s all fine.

As #GovernmentShutdown looms just days away, no agreement is in sight
#HouseRepublicans have turned their efforts to long-term funding, while the #Senate will start moving forward on a short-term solution #Congress returns to #DC on Tues w/ <5 days to find an agreement that will avert a govt #shutdown.
That agreement so far does not exist.

What happens when the U.S. government shuts down? Congress has an Oct. 1 deadline to reach a spending deal.

[News] Trump urges government shutdown in unlikely bid to 'defund' his criminal prosecutions (www.reuters.com)

Sept 21 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump has urged fellow Republicans in Congress to shut down the government to thwart the federal prosecutions against him, although any funding lapse was unlikely to stop the cases from being pursued....

Politico Playbook this morning: “We spoke to multiple Democratic members and aides last night, and this much they know: There will be a (US government) shutdown. Yesterday’s floor meltdown confirmed to them that the only remaining question is how long it will be.”

#House flounders as #GOP fails to #appease #FarRight members on #funding

The prospect of a #GovernmentShutdown escalated significantly Tues as #HouseRepublicans’ intraparty tensions again came to a head in a dramatic floor vote amid negotiations on a nascent plan to keep the government open.

#HouseRepublicans’ inability to find agreement on even a #stopgap #funding bill that is destined to fail in the #Senate again puts into focus the challenge before #KevinMcCarthy as he tries to unite his party & avoid a #GovernmentShutdown. Though #Republicans largely agree on the need to significantly curb federal spending, divisions mostly over process have given any 5 lawmakers enormous #power in the razor-thin majority.

Republicans really seem to suck at this whole governing thing. Little wonder they rely on the Democrats to constantly clean up their messes.

Every member of Congress should go without a paycheck whenever the government shuts down.

During a government shutdown, thousands of hard-working, government employees become temporarily unemployed during a shutdown without a working schedule or a paycheck.

It seems unfair, that the very people who cause these unnecessary and avoidable government shutdowns should continue to receive their full paychecks for failing to do their jobs!

#America #USA #Shutdown #GovermentShutdown

Linux_Is_Best,

I more than suspect, if members of Congress faced the real possibility of not earning their paychecks due to a government shutdown, they would perhaps work harder to avoid them as opposed to threatening to cause them.

#MichaelSmerconish on #Cnn this morning.

Biden's age and inflation and speech impediment is balanced out by Trump's view on #abortion and actions on #January6th

These fools didn't consider accomplishments.

CNN busy attempting to make a news cycle, they forgot how to report on it.

Promote the vote.

I don't see #Democrats threatening to shutdown government funding every 6 months.

#veterans do not support #governmentshutdown

Trying to push "both sides" narrative is obviously a #falseflag #strawman position.

The GOP just caused America to get our credit downgraded

They’re doing to blame Dems so let’s do the numbers:

R’s:
Nixon went from a $3.2B surplus to a $6.1B deficit
Reagan took the deficit from $70B to $175B
H.W. Bush took the deficit to $300B
Dubya took 0 deficit and turned it into $1.2T deficit
Trump grew the debt by $7.8T

D’s:
Clinton created a $128.2B surplus
Obama cut the deficit by 1/2
Biden cut the deficit by more than $1.7T far

Democrats grow the economy. Bigly.

kkarhan,

@flexghost actually no, #GovernmentShutdown|s already got the USA downgraded from AAA+ to AA+ ages ago...

IMHO the #USA's credit rating should be F due to that bs alone: No other nation does this shit!
