The weird part of it is they’re doing it in an election year. They passed those temporary spending bills specifically so they could appear to be keeping the government running into 2024, but they’re gonna dig their heels in now?
Sounds like a recipe for getting clobbered in an election year, and I’m here for it.
Exactly. Republicans are working hard to ensure a border crisis and an economic downturn. Money isn’t being sent to Ukraine workers here are making good money making equipment and ammunition that will be sent there. Republicans, and Putin, don’t want that so they are blocking the aid package.
You would think. But then you would think Trump wouldn’t even poll remotely close to Biden just based on his past performance too. So I have no idea if this will be bad for them or not.
It’s bad for them. Republicans are always blamed for government shutdowns because they make a big kerfuffle about their symbolic stance against Big Government expenditures. Republicans generally agree with the symbolism, excepting the part where many of them don’t get paid.
They have constantly capitulated to extremists in their party. If even a single Republican wants to shut something down now they do since…reasons? Appearance of party unity means more than anything to them.

I sincerely hope you’re right on that for all of our sakes.
