Democrats cruelly flout the nice Dems in Disarray narrative that reporters made for them
By 
Will no one think of the political reporters who had already filed their BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ROCKED BY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN articles?
Congress sent President Joe Biden a short-term spending bill on Thursday that would avert a looming partial government shutdown and fund federal agencies into March.
The House approved the measure by a vote of 314-108, with opposition coming mostly from the more conservative members of the Republican conference. Shortly before the vote, the House Freedom Caucus announced it “strongly opposes” the measure because it would facilitate more spending than they support.
Nevertheless, about half of Republicans joined with Democrats in passing the third stopgap funding measure in recent months. The action came a few hours after the Senate had voted overwhelmingly to pass the bill by a vote of 77-18.
Maybe they can do a quick rewrite and throw on a new headline “Biden Administration Temporarily Delays Inevitable Government Shutdown.”
Meanwhile, to the surprise of no one who is more observant that a Republican, it looks like Speaker Tug Johnson might have his skinny butt in a cleft stick.
House Republicans have fought bitterly over budget levels and policy since taking the majority at the start of 2023. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was ousted by his caucus in October after striking an agreement with Democrats to extend current spending the first time. Johnson has also come under criticism as he has wrestled with how to appease his members and avoid a government shutdown in an election year.
Good luck with that, you God-bothering weirdoid.
Virginia Rep. Bob Good, one of eight Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy, has been pushing Johnson to reconsider the deal with Schumer.
“If your opponent in negotiation knows that you fear the consequence of not reaching an agreement more than they fear the consequence of not reaching an agreement, you will lose every time,” Good said this week.
Yup. Your choices are surrender now or surrender later, shitheels.
