Here's one aspect of the Republipig lying that hasn't gotten much attention. They've repeatedly proposed a so-called clean funding stopgap bill to reopen the government until the end of November. However, it's a procedural vote, not a legislative vote per se, which means...
That after passage, the Republipigs could alter it any way they wanted to, with no input from Democrats!!!
Schumer has repeatedly asked for guarantees that if they vote for the stopgap bill, it will be presented to the House UNALTERED. The Republipigs have refused to promise that.
So the real obstacle, despite the MAGA propaganda, is the Republipigs. If they want to end the shutdown, all they have to do is guarantee that the stopgap bill will in fact be clean. But they won't.
I'm sure Millerscum will bleat LIAR LIAR LIAR. But I encourage him and other MAGA pigs to do their research.
