Tiedrich rant: a shutdown is averted, but Kevin McCarthy is still a feckless dipshit



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/a-shutdown-is-averted-but-kevin-mccarthy

it’s morning in America! the sun is shining. the birds are singing. colors are brighter. food tastes better ...

wait — who the fuck are we kidding? we woke up into the same stupid bullshit world we wake up into every godamned day.all that’s changed is that the government hasn’t shut down, and we get to repeat this whole absurd charade 45 days from now.

in the end, feckless fuckface Kevin McCarthy folded like a flimsy house of cards and came running to the Democrats for help.

yesterday morning, McCarthy introduce a continuing resolution that would keep the government running at current funding levels for 45 more days. the only changes were the addition of funds for disaster aid, and the removal of additional aid for Ukraine.

Also in the same Tiedrich blog: Rep. Jamaal Bowman and the Cannon Building fire alarm.

And Matt Gaetz tried to introduce a resolution to remove McCarthy as Speaker, but he was gaveled down immediately.

so, here we are, with a 45-day reprieve. nothing has changed, and tomorrow will be more of the same old bullshit. welcome to another day in Dysfunctional America.
