Republicans threaten a government shutdown unless Congress makes it harder to vote
Republicans threaten a government shutdown unless Congress makes it harder to vote
The exhausting dance that precedes every single government funding battle has begun.
If they put human skin on the ventriloquist dummy from goosebumps, let it age 50 years, had its human son monitor it's web traffic for porn browsing... What would that dummy look like?
Why break the habit of a lifetime.
Where is the "mah freedum" and "they are taking away our democracy" crowd now?
I said it last shutdown but does nobody seem to notice that whenever we have a shutdown it's because Republicans keep shitting their pants and then screaming about the smell?
Every govt shutdown in my lifetime has been because of Republicans. These shutdowns impact millions of people yet I never see it brought up.
"Give us what we want or we'll shit in the pool and ruin it for everybody."
The rest of America should follow Oregon's standards.
When Republicans walked out, Oregon said Bye Felicia.
Oregon high court says 10 GOP state senators who staged long walkout can’t run for reelection.
Regulate votes, not guns I see
I was debating my father in 2020 about voting and said we should make voting laws "better." He countered that different parties might have different definitions of "better." I said, "easier and more accessible." He had no counter.
let the gov shutdown, lets see those stock prices tumble. You'd never get a better chance to let republicans shoot their own donors in the dick. Lets see spacex stop getting checks, stop paying the supreme court. The rule they're using to "shut down" the government is likely unconstitutional anyway.
Johnson plans to pair a bill funding the government for six months with a Republican bill called the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act” or “SAVE Act,” that would require new voters to submit “documentary proof of United States citizenship,” such as a passport or a birth certificate, in order to register to vote.
That doesn't seem like an outrageous ask but then access to such documents should also be safeguarded, that is if the actual reason was just to prevent voter fraud/illegally voting
Let them do it, and make sure everyone knows why.
If you haven't already, follow Jeff Jackson while he's still in his position. He tells it how it is and gives inside info on why they make these futile plays
who cares if SovCits can’t vote?
Bring back mob justice
Shit like thus makes me glad I don't live in america
Make it impossible for repuglicans to vote and you can fix everything heh
They probably want to make the minimum age to vote 50 years old. That's pretty sad.
They demand Dems give them something to campaign on by threatening to do something Dems could then use to campaign against them?
Mint the damn trillion-dollar coin
Cowards
They don't even have enough Republican votes to make it happen.
At some point Democrat presidents are going to have to either fix this or admit that they are basically incompetent. There are workarounds, there's every reason to pursue them, and it's really sad watching people who claim to be professionals act surprised when they're confronted with this situation again.
