Summary
Fox News reporter Chad Pergram challenged Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming Democrats for a potential government shutdown over funding bill opposition.
After Johnson claimed Democrats would be “responsible for every troop who misses a paycheck” if they reject his “clean CR,” Pergram pointed out this implies Republicans lack sufficient votes.
Johnson insisted “we’ll have the votes” despite reports that House Republicans plan to vote against the bill, claiming Democrats should “do the responsible thing.”
Government shutdowns is only ever a thing when Republicans have the House, and yet they still get voted in.
Amazing. The votes have somehow superpositioned in a way that no matter how the Dems vote, it won’t matter, but will still be their fault.
Quantum finger-pointing?
It would be hilarious if it wasn’t just so fucking depressing. I’ve said it before: Tr**p isn’t the president we need, but he sure is the one we deserve. All those millions of our assholes nodding their head to the glow and drone of fox news.
I have to hope this woke them up a bit, I haven’t seen nearly as much Trump shit around my area the past month or so.
