Well, a shutdown is more likely to happen after Lindsey Graham explodes and picks a fight amongst his own party!

Late last Graham decided that he was going hold the bill to keep the government hostage until he got millions from the citizens because he and other congressional members were on a call list during the insurrection of 2021(we all know it’s a scam story). Graham, big pants, got in a heated argument with other GOBers just before midnight. Now the bill is on hold with less than 24 hours left.

I’m wondering if this was the plan along? Trump is pulling strings, yet he says that wants the bill to pass?

We seen this before? It’s call CHAOS at every turn! More bluster and less work to provide for the country!

This useless stunt is an inept way of doing business and making people feel powerless.

We can look at this way? It’s Graham shutdown! Oh, if McCain were alive?

With his hissy fit since moses mike gringr johnson sent the House home again. So Maybe Monday they might get around to whatever shows up from the Senate.

The House already passed the Bill that Krasnov wants. The Senate will now be pressured to accept the House Bill.

It's so obvious that it's comical. They're starting to go at each others' throats, so hopefully, we'll find out what he's been hiding soon.

the Senate had basically segregated DHS funding from the rest of the funding. I was shocked that so many Magat Senators were prepared to vote Yes.

Krasnov must have made a call to Lindley and ordered the Bill be trashed.

Now what we have is a House Bill that gives Krasnov everything he wants all he has to do is get Schumer to cave, just like last March.
