Also, if those mofos are so ready to surrender the power of the legislature they should fucking get different jobs. NOW

Normally, I do not favor shut downs, but more than my distaste for putting federal workers off the clock (which Elon is doing already, I despise blackmail.

Just Say

NO

well, almost sorry.

It ain't working today as I read more news.

aren't they basically doing that right now?

is to get rid of the Legislative and Judicial Branches, and consolidate ALL power in the Executive Branch.
In other words, establish a Tyranny in conjunction with Corporations. Commonly called FASCISM......

I see no reason in keeping them on the payroll

screamed far and wide and mightily! All they are voting for his shutting down everyone else's paychecks. Do they care? Hell, no! If their money isn't affected, why would they care? Take away THEIR salary, and ALL their perks... just like us... during a government shutdown. If they want to change government to make it more efficient and get rid of all that fraud and waste... well, AFAIC, it starts with THEM.

I doubt that most of that "income" is not reported on their disclosure forms or to the IRS.

It's "unearned income" which has enough loopholes to never have to pay taxes of any kind. Always thought that was backwards. Earned Income should be tax exempt because it was done by the sweat of your brow or via the cortisol coursing through your body while trying to do a job with a micromanager hanging on your every keystroke.

Unearned income, which to me sounds like "gifts" and the like should be taxed at the highest rate. One didn't earn them; they were given to you, either via handout, bribe, or digital "paper."

To dissolve Congress for all practical purposes.

Article I, Section 8: "regulate commerce with foreign nations..."

trump probably insisted on that clause or else he'd primary them... or kill their families... or catch them in a "compromising situation." republicans have no idea how to govern, they have no idea what the constitution says, and they don't care as long as they end up on trump's most favored list.

They've been giving away their power for decades, in small and large ways. One of the largest was the one where only Congress has the right to say we go to war. The got around that by not having the U.S. go to "war" anymore... we just do "state actions"... hmm... sounds amazingly like Putin's name for the Ukrainian War.

And go right to the House steps and refuse to govern until Trump is removed from office. Just sit there. They need to tell America that if the House Republicans don't want to do their Constitutional duty, they need to immediately resign.

This is complete nonsense and one party can't give away Congress's Constitutional power to block tariffs. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. At this point. Its very obvious that most Republicans ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS.

the senate is needed and it wont survive the dem's opposition there.

That certain people will vote in favor of this and it will pass.
This CR alone should be enough to make any sane person riot in the streets

Yeah, the spelling is kkkorect!

If they want to give up their authority I say give up your paycheck. While we’re cutting government waste let’s start with a body of government that appears willing to subjugate itself to the whims of the President
