The Senate Thursday evening passed the stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown. The Senate voted 69-28 to pass the interim bill that will fund the government until February 18.(Tweet) Senator Mike Lee held a vote on an amendment to prohibit federal money being used to fund Biden’s vaccine mandates, but it failed 48-50.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stopped a showdown in the upper chamber by convincing enough Republicans to vote for the stopgap bill without making changes.

Great. My GOP senator and rep BOTH sold out to the deep state. And why shouldn't they? They know the communists stand no chance to hold the house or senate. So why not get on the corruption bandwagon early?
This country does not deserve this. There is literally no party that isn't entirely bought and paid for.

What more proof do you need to see that there really is just one big uniparty whose goal is to first and foremost take care of themselves. One may be a tad better on some issues but when push comes to shove they more often than not will sidle right up to the trough with the democrat hogs. Shutting down the government would not be a bad thing. It is that bureaucratic behemoth that is strangling our freedom. I would be all for those agencies that through personal corruption and waste steal taxpayers blind be shut down or work with a skeleton crew like the private sector has had to do this past year. Have any of those people had to sacrifice like the rest of us have?
Most of our problems begin and end with the political class. It is easy for them to creat a system wherein they remain fat and happy while the rest of the country is pinching pennies and attempting to survive on a budget. They have created the biggest money making scam in the history of the world. Their tactics would make the Mafia blush. These self-serving corruptocrats have destroyed this country and they are not finished yet. They pick our bones clean and call it public service.
The Republican Party should have stood as one voice in opposition to the communist regime currently running wild in Washington DC. They have no strategy to defeat the democrat party because they simply do not want one. They are content to whine and talk big while they do nothing to stop this illegitimate administration from destroying our very way of life. They want the life their careers afford them now with all its corruption. This is why they hate President Trump and they do not want him anywhere near Washington DC. He saw right through them. He knew who they were and what they were doing. Because he was not one of them, they hated him because he was a constant reminder that you did not have to sell your soul to get elected. Most politicians really are nothing more than any lowly streetwalker selling her body for filthy lucre. They just have expensive clothes, self-anointed prestige, and more perks. However, their professions are very similar.

#2, John Kennedy has been getting on my nerves a bit.
Folksy, bright, and says the right things.
But is it real, or is it Memorex?
Is he a Senate “Trey Gowdy”?

FTA: "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stopped a showdown in the upper chamber by convincing enough Republicans to vote for the stopgap bill without making changes." There must have been some goodies in the bill for his "Honey Trap" wife the CCP Plant.
How can we charge a Senate Minority Leader with treason?

I knew that Miss Lindsey would be on the list before I looked. Come on, South Carolina, we need to dump him in 2026!
(I’d be perfectly happy if most of the government shut down permanently)

Oh goody for them. We don't have to suffer a government shutdown now. I wish my bank had a stopgap funding option.

It is clear, that as a Christian Conservative, I do not have a political party on my side. That is the bad news. The good news is that I don't need one. There are thousands of Conservative communities all around the USA. Large cities are Socialistic by nature. You will always be out numbered there. Go find a town that can make you happy. It really is that easy. Have a blessed day all.

JOHN CORNYN FLAT OUT LIED -- As far as I am concerned I will NO LONGER support him!!!
I was on a conference call with him a few months ago and HE PROMISED when asked a direct question about THIS VERY ISSUE that he would NOT vote in favor of such a motion, and that his buddy, Yertle the Turtle was not going to ask "republicans" to vote with the Demonrat Socialist Marxists to do so.
I will openly support ANY candidate who will primary that bastid to remove him form office should he not retire, resign, or die in office.
TEXANS deserve BETTER that this turncoat--

Familiar cast of characters, with a few "surprises" (Mitch twisting arms?).
Remember that RINOs still control the money and count the votes in the primaries.
IMO this will NEVER change while globalist donors fund the party.
New party funded by small donations.

You can safely bet that at least half, maybe much more, of the 7 billion dollars supposedly earmarked for Afghan “refugees” will really end up in the coffers of the many leftist and socialist Democrat politically connected and supporting nongovernmental organizations (NGO’s). Then how much of that money will be “kicked back” to leftist and socialist Democrat politicians in many forms of “campaign contributions” will be anyone’s guess!

I see some names of Tucker's favorite "republican" guests listed as joining the democrat camp. Perhaps he will being this up the next time he invites them to a guest appearance on his show--or, maybe not!
Even the usually unreliable Romney chose not to join this treasonous bunch of RINO's.

Spending money you don't have is going into debt; or borrowing. But I'm sure their grandchildren---or in the case of the Reprehensibles and Seniletors, great-grandchildren---will be delighted to pay for their treachery.

THEY. DON'T. HAVE. THE MONEY.
This is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
We're going down folks.
I can see the Republicans taking over the House, Senate, and Executive office, and NOTHING CHANGES.
The media will harp how it is proof that nobody is stealing elections.
Liar, cheat, and thieves. All of them.

Why can't republicans tow the party line like the democrats do? I would vote against everything democrat if I were in the minority. The left would never get anything but a 'NO' vote from me but this bunch of jerks are a sad bunch. Spend, spend then spend some more I wish I could run my business or home like that but that's not real. Forget the Uniparty.

Now, who didn't know this was going to happen? I laughed at Bannon and company expecting something different from the sellouts.
