Of course, there is always the option of working with Democrats to get bills passed... but that would only benefit the American people, so I can see why mccarthy wouldn't be interested...
The symbolism and that they thought this was a good idea is bad enough. It’s like those arguing that no one was actually hung in Jan. 6th as somehow erecting gallows and changing Hang Mike Pence wasn’t that big of a deal.
mccarthy can't get his own side of the aisle to pass a defense spending bill... what chance does he have to pass a CR to keep the government going? It is a low bar, but mccarthy has to be considered the least effective Speaker of the House of all time. What a comedown after Nancy Pelosi...
Good. Do nothing. Pass nothing. Unfortunately, they will buckle and pass a clean CR because they are still DC swamp creatures (or "Rich Men North of Richmond" as the song goes).
