Regardless, we've officially set a new precedent going forward. Bills from Previous COngresses can now be held hostage by a new COngress who is willing to play chicken with the sitting president and our national accounting. Something tells me when and if the roles are reveresed Republicans will sudennly think its out of bounds to do the shit they're doing now. If you thought the government was dysfunctional before.....this is the new normal. Well played.
Yeah, the RepubliQ propaganda has been relentlessly about spending (OOOOOOO! A'SPENDIN!), when the spending decisions were made a year ago. The present debate was actually about paying or not paying the bills.
The present RepubliQ asshole scumbags were trying to retroactively negate the decisions of the previous duly elected Congress. I wonder if they can even see that this sets the stage for when the House flips back, the Democrats could reverse everything the RepubliQ did? That the primary task of Congress will be to negate the actions of the prior Congress?
The RepubliQ really don't give a fuck about their destroying our democracy, do they? And I don't mean that the way Millerscum does ("nobody agrees with me, WAAAAH"). I mean it, for real.
