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.”
We did it! We pushed the Overton Window so far to the right that Fox News became woke!
I’m so proud of us. We’re all grown up and fascist. Brings a single tear to my eye, ya know, bcz I’m not some woke bleeding heart liberal.
I get confused by the GOP message these days. It sounds like they are saying…
A) Trump is the smartest man to ever live and genius. Smartest man ever to be President by far.
B) the Dems are tricking us into not doing well and we can’t figure out how to out smart them.
Can both be true?
“Every troop missing a paycheck”? Big coming from the side stealing money from starving people.
They love to get rid of health care for the troops, so more performative bullshit
As if the Republicans haven’t caused many government workers to miss many paychecks. Even WITHOUT their current crimes against humanity they’d still have no ground to stand on with this argument.
It’s basically a serial killer being shocked that someone killed one person.
The only reason that Fox News is pushing back against the Republicans is because their stocks are going down.
Who would have thought that greed after all can be used for good at least once?
Greedisgood
“We refused to negotiate with them and filled the CR with Republican amendments, but if Democrats and 2 Republicans don’t vote for it then the shutdown is the Democrats fault!”
If a human being can be that dishonest and still convince himself he’s a good person, maybe our species never had much of a chance.

Democratsand 2 Republicans. Republicans have the majority. This has absolutely nothing to do with Democrats.If a human being can be that dishonest and still convince himself he’s a good person, maybe our species never had much of a chance.
We’re not there, when he looks in the mirror. Evil politics takes a toll on all. From his perspective, "God watches us all’.
Also, have faith, fellow mammal. We’re a work in progress, generationally.
Lol
Good
Turnabout is fair play
This isn’t even turnabout. The Democrats did not have enough seats to pass it themselves and attempted to negotiate. The Republicans have tried nothing, abused the government, and are demanding the Democrats save them from themselves.
To the Democrats, the Republicans have the petard lit, don’t let them hoist you instead of themselves.
“It’s the Democrats’ fault that we can’t effectively govern!”
