Speaker Mike Johnson's government funding plan already crumbling with at least 6 GOP no votes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s government funding plan is already crumbling with enough Republicans opposed to the resolution to sink it, and more warning the speaker will have to abandon his initial proposal to keep the government open.

At least six House Republicans have said they are against Johnson’s plan to attach a controversial bill to bar noncitizens from voting in US elections to a six-month government funding resolution, enough GOP opposition to block Johnson’s proposal given the party’s narrow margin in the House and that the proposal lacks support from Democrats.

GOP Reps. Greg Steube of Florida, Cory Mills of Florida, Jim Banks of Indiana, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Matt Rosendale of Montana have all come out against the plan – known as a continuing resolution, or CR – that is scheduled to be voted on Wednesday.

Steube told CNN, “I have never voted for a CR, and I don’t plan to moving forward.”

1. Has the broken Congress actually passed an actual budget bill in the past 20 years?

Just curious.

2. So, they're just against keeping gov open, not the registration BS?

Or is it a mix?

3. Have any Democrats crossed over?

4. Speaker Johnson may not appreciate it, but the rebels in his caucus are saving him from himself.

5. Every time they have shut the government down it has blown up in their faces

So gentleman please proceed 35 days before an election

6. They have been on "vacation" for a month n now it's back to no ideas except shut the government down

They thrive on chaos

7. I have a Solution for this Re-occuring Problem

... Other than the obvious (vote for Democrats!), my solution is straightforward, and I am sure it would work (but congress would never vote for this)..

BAN ALL FUNDRAISING UNTIL /AFTER/ ALL ANNUAL BUDGETS ARE DONE

If that rule were in place, I bet you they would have the budgets done by the end of January. The could no longer hold the country at gunpoint to keep it in operation.
