The election is 9 months away and the Inauguration is 11 months away. I hope the government is only funded through continuing resolutions from here to President Trump being sworn in. It’s vitally important to avoid any long term legislation that will be difficult to repeal and replace.

The speaker made “unequivocally” clear that he wants to avoid even a partial closure that's set to happen Saturday at midnight, Senate Majority Leader [and Lying Commie] Chuck Schumer said.

While both parties' leaders were relatively aligned on a government spending stopgap, the White House sitdown also featured an “intense” component focused on Ukraine, Schumer said. That moment saw every other person in the room pressuring Johnson in stark terms about the urgency of sending aid.

“It was intense because everyone in that room is telling Speaker Johnson how vital it is … I’ve rarely seen a meeting with the passion, the importance of getting something done,” Schumer told reporters at the Capitol after the meeting. He added that “McConnell was the lead speaker in saying we needed to do Ukraine.”

And Johnson appeared to shrug off the immediate urgency of supplying needed lethal aid to Ukraine in its defense against Russia, arguing that he wants a plan to address rising southern border crossings first.

“We have to take care of America’s needs first,” Johnson said while leaving the White House, while arguing “the catastrophe at the border is affecting everyone" and that Biden should take executive action to stem the record-high number of illegal border crossings.

Shut it down. It doesn’t work for We the People any longer so we’d be better off!!!

Mike “Ball less’ Johnson. Or is it Mike “Cowardly” Johnson? Or Mike “Loser” Johnson? Or Mike “Cuck” Johnson?

Or all of the above? I vote for all of the above.

Why avoid?
