So there are a number of RINOs complaining there are NO earmarks in the budget CR. And the freedom caucus isn't in agreement with Massie. Strange, very strange.

What happens when a country realizes it has no functioning judicial system?
How long does it take before people think … “WTF if they can do it I can too” ?

All the Democrats are complaining that their earmarks are not in the budget and that is why they are not voting for it.

It's my understanding that by passing the continuing resolution bill those in the majority now have a vehicle within reconciliation to determine specifically the priorities for funding. I'm not an expert on this but hopefully this means that the garbage projects will receive little to no funding. We would need to wait to see what the RINOs want to cry about versus what the freedom caucus wishes the funding to look like. I have no doubt the RINOs will try to pull some sort of shit and maybe this is what Massie is concerned about.

Libtards are a effing disgrace. Everything is fake and scripted including all those autopen Biden signatures on executive orders.

Trump aide Alina Habba gives inside look at Biden’s ‘fake Oval Office’
Habba sat behind a dark, wooden desk in front of an American Flag and a blue and white sign on the wall with an outline showing the North front of the White House.

"Despite Habba calling it the Oval Office, the set was decorated to look like a generic room in the White House — and not the famed round office where major presidential events are held."

If the government shuts down it’s my understanding that Russell Vought, head of The Office of Management and Budget, decides which departments are essential meaning that he could and probably would keep National Parks open, Museums open, and take a gigantic chainsaw to those departments deemed “useless”: the general public wouldn’t really be affected the way they were during the Obama shutdown.
Mike Johnson, while I do not like the CR, has effectively boxed the Democrats into a corner. If they don’t vote for it, they are branded as the party that wants to shut down government and which will make a good political advertisement in the midterms showing their hypocrisy about shutting down government and they also allow Vought to go on a cutting rampage through the Federal Government; if they do vote for it, the GOP takes a win because as I understand the CR, it provides the President some control over spending.

Why would you presume that I want the government to shutdown? What I really want is for the Dems and the GOP to start working together to propel our country to prosperity. Don’t you?
My post was my analysis of what I believe to be happening. Nothing more and nothing less.

Yes, I do, but by your analysis, which seems correct to me, the GOP won't compromise... one way or another congress wants to give its power/responsibility to the executive branch.
Who would applaud excess spending? You may like a particular program that I oppose and vice versa. That is why both parties should come together to pair down government, which Democrats in the past pushed for, but now don’t only because of their apparent hatred of the President.
I can't image anyone is for excess spending, but the way it's being gleefully cut chainsaw style seems wrong... now if this government employee gets cut out with a scalpel who could disagree?
