The problem with that is there was absolutely no reason for him to disrupt the proceedings, the Dems were getting 99.5% of what they wanted, poll numbers were turning against the Rep's and it was clear the would be enough votes to pass the spending bill.
"No compromise, everything we want, or nothing at all"?
Yeah, that's exactly what the (self described) Ultra MAGA wing of the republican party was going for but they couldn't manage to pull it off
I'm just saying that's what the fire puller guy may have had in his mind?
OK so make the pay $1. Some are trying to change that alien looking thing that's telling all the border is secure to a salary of $1. It of course will not happen. Since it says they are compensated by law, I have to assume this means Congress can change the salary to a buck when gov shuts down? Is there more to the article saying they have to get the same salary at all times? No raises, no cuts? Kind of doubt it. Again moot since no way enough of them would vote to do this.Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution states: "The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States."
Doesn't provide any exemptions
Yep what we really need is to keep printing MORE and more money. Look how well that's working so far. Its not an embarrassment at all. Just like what we really need is just a few more gun laws. Nothing embarrassing about that either. So good thing so many gun owners love it.
Yeah, I got that. But JMHO the time to argue over the cell phone bill and demand the kids do more homework isn't at the end of the meal at The Olive Garden while the waiter is just wanting you to pay your bill and GTFOI'm just saying that's what the fire puller guy may have had in his mind?
GOP hasn't been the party of "fiscal responsibility" since H. BushI miss the party of fiscal responsibility
Bongino has said for a long time. "Most Republicans are really Democrats but no Democrat is really a Republican". He also says all the time the GOP is NOT the solution to our problems but, the Dem party is the reason for all of them. This is often why we keep losing. When there is a choice between some D and some R, many will refuse to vote for the R because they are not good enough. So the D wins and things get worse. Supporting the left because the right is not good enough only keeps this going the wrong way.GOP hasn't been the party of "fiscal responsibility" since H. Bush
Yes, he said it was an accident.He pulled it, but there is no proof at this point as to why. But don't let facts get in the way of wild speculation
People do stupid things all the time and I think the investigation is totally warranted. But for me the idea that he pulled the alarm to delay the vote his party was going win is silly
Oh, OK then.
That's your reasonable answer?
Well, this is an unreasonable discussion, so yes. If the investigation shows that he did it on purpose attempting to disrupt proceedings he should be punished accordingly. While we are waiting for that investigation we are all just offering up our opinions and so far I don't recall anyone offering up a reasonable explanation on why he would have done it on purpose.
yes
