Government funding plan collapses as Trump makes new demands days before shutdown
Trump abruptly rejected a bipartisan plan to prevent a government shutdown, instead telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate.

Hopefully the Republicans pull their head out of their ass and refuse to vote for this BS. I'm sick of Congress waiting till the last minute to pass spending bills that shove more BS spending down our throats. As far as I'm concerned shut the government down and tell Democrats we are not going to include their BS spending in any bill.
What does that mean “shut the government down?” What actually gets shut down?

Catturd is perfect for you morons. A grown man who sits and reads the internet all day and gets all worked up. How many hours a day you reading news a week @Rdcldad ? Your family talking to you less the last 8 years? Dad won’t shut the **** up about politics?
You seem angry. And bitter.
Nothing important unless we have corrupt POS like Obama in office. Remember when he shut down the national monuments in DC in an effort to make it look bad?
And misinformed. He don’t need “news”, just the DNC news deep throated to him.
Get to band practice pronto. You need to bring two dozen Krispy Kreme’s, and don’t forget the old fashions for the lead singer.

took me a sec to figure out the haircut thing in this tweet yesterday
those of you in the stock market prolly get it now

I'm not trying to take up for our politicians but if people think a $174K salary is big they are not being realistic. Unless a Congressman is from the DC area they must have two places of residence with one of them in the one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country. I couldn't do it.
That's not the point. These dickheads can't agree on something worth a shit for all of us and yet they have time to worry about their salaries? Yeah, **** that.
The problem is they agree on to much, 35 plus trillion in debt.
Nobody told them they had to be a Politician. Besides that with their insider trading they become richer than we ever will. I don't feel sorry for any of them. The average Anerican makes way less than 174,000 and most cannot afford healthcare thanks to these criminals.
I get what you’re saying, but the reason they took office was HELP the country. Not themselves, they have enriched themselves on the people’s backs. They are also the ones that drove inflation, the whole reason they want the raise.
I give and get raises for doing good job and benefitting the organization. Can they say that?
I don't disagree with anything either of you are saying, however the fact remains the salary they receive is not the windfall some make it out to be and may actually be a deterrent.
IMO we should raise their salary to something that would motivate intelligent, successful, ethical people to run for office while at the same time placing extremely strict restrictions on any other income they have and any job they may take in the future. I also think the way we allow political campaigns to be funded is beyond corrupt.
salary is zero deterrent to good people running for congress
its like saying if we paid gundy 10M USD instead of 7.5M he’d all the sudden get smarter
let’s cut the grift and corruption which elon and doge are doing beautifully
out first
Besides the stock market. The lobbyists give most of them more walking around money per month than the normal person makes per year. Don’t feel sorry for them man. I had a friend whose dad went to Washington. They did ok but not rich, he came back rich and this was 30 years ago. Someone always wants a favor and it’s been that way for years.
Which is why term limits are necessary.
How many workdays do they work? When my friends dad was in the house. He shared an apartment with others and split the rent. You know what though, I saw him more in person than I did when he just worked, and we were away at college.

Make no mistake, the last thing I feel for anyone in Congress is sorry. They are all corrupt POS's IMO that is why I want strict restrictions with severe penalties for violations.
You want them to restrict themselves. That’s the problem. They write the laws, all we do is vote for the next person to be corrupted. Reminds me of the movie Evan almighty. I found an article on days of work. They average 174.6 days So that’s a pay rate of 1000 per day (125 per hour) plus bonuses lol
We the people vote for our elected Representatives. With someone like Elon and his ability to communicate with millions all it takes is public pressure. Yes it's not easy but nothing worth doing ever is.
Sounds like they will pass the cr as clean and the disaster and farm aid. Just watched a clip of Mike Johnson.

House vote imminent on plan to avert government shutdown after Trump-backed deal tanks
Congressional leaders are scrambling to avert a partial government shutdown by the end of Friday.
The founding fathers initially had 2-requirements for government officials with emphasis on the house & senate.
1. They were to be wealthy men to alleviate debaucherous & greedy aspirations as they governed.
2. There were to be no lawyers allowed to be members in the house and the senate.
Looks like abject failure across the board with very, very few exceptions.
