I don't celebrate Christmas...Christmas is a made-up Holiday.
No where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born on December 25th.
If you go by what the Bible says Jesus was born at Harvest time...Which could be anywhere from the ending of September to mid-November.

88–9: Senate passes 45-day stopgap bill, hours ahead of midnight deadline to keep the government open.
The continuing resolution (CR), which extends funding at current levels through Nov. 17, now heads to the White House for President Biden's signature.

Excellent report on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel with SCOTUS abolishing Affirmative Action, many universities are admitting students based on their athletics and not grades or SAT scores or merits.
All for bragging rights.
I.E. the rivalry between Harvard and Yale rowing.

Democrats forced McCarthy to cave.
America wins, McCarthy loses.
MAGA is furious at him.
"We're tired of f--king around with these whack jobs," one House Republican said as Kevin McCarthy risked a far-right rebellion aimed at taking his gavel.

Boebert seems upset that Republicans did not get any of the deep cuts they were asking for.
Reason I think in 45 days we will be right back where things stood today.
Looking down the barrel of a possible Government Shutdown.
And right before Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

A few days ago, far-right of GOP was insisting ~10% cuts to domestic programs were insufficient
Now, looks like they're going to get 0% cuts instead (albeit also no Ukraine $, and for time being)

Hakeem Jeffries: "MAGA Republicans have surrendered.
All extreme right-wing policies have been removed from the House spending bill.
The American people have won."
But no additional funding for Ukraine

I have a feeling the Senate will pass the Republicans CR.
Shut down averted.
At least for the next 45 days.

Republican CR has passed the House it now goes to the Senate.
02:48 PM - Sep 30, 2023
It should be noted the the CR, if passed, expires in 45 days.
So in 45 days, if it passes, we will be right back where we are today.
Republicans cannot and refuse to govern.

It is being reported that Nancy Pelosi has warned colleagues — including Hakeem Jeffries and some in his leadership team — against rushing to bail out Kevin McCarthy on a possible motion to vacate. Instead, she's counseled, Dems should let Republicans deal with the drama themselves.

In the Republican CR, Congress would get a pay raise even if the Government Shuts down.
But that provision could be removed.
Republicans cannot govern.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is on the House floor now and just slammed Republicans for not keeping their promise and the agreement they negotiated. Immediately Democrats then start chanting, “KEEP YOUR WORD.”

Mitch McConnell just said he and Senate Republicans will DENY Senate Democrats the 60 votes they need to pass the bipartisan Senate funding bill that includes money for Ukraine, but would support the House bill with NO money for Ukraine. Putin is rejoicing right now

It is obvious Republican voters don't understand that a Government Shutdown would end/put on hold any funding for Border Protection and Border Security will go without being paid until the Government reopens.
But they agree with a Shutdown on principal.

In the Republican CR, which they claim is a clean CR, includes a pay raise for themselves.
It is NOT a clean CR.
10 1/2 hours to go until a Government Shutdown.

In response to Nyah M.
I think they also want these funding bills to be voted on/renewed every year. So they have an easy way to kill programs they don’t like.

Rep. Matt Gaertz seems to think that the best way to fund our Troops and the government is to pass one Bill per federal program at a time, thus funding one federal program at a time.
Republicans really have no clue how to govern, do they?

Mike Huckabee said on Newsmax that the Biden campaign is collapsing.
Doesn't seem like to me and Republicans are saving Biden's campaign a lot of money by doing commercials for Biden.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to essential safety nets.
4) Threaten to shut down the government.
5) Repeat.
It's always the same fuckery.
