President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader Moscow Mitch are going to squeeze Speaker Mike Johnson like a lime in a spending meeting on Tuesday, Punchbowl News concludes, explaining that the Dems are firmly in control given that blame for any shutdown would fall on Republicans and help make Biden’s election year case that they’re incapable of governing.
There isn’t even a framework yet and the Freedom Caucasians are already fucking pissed at Johnson for failing to make any gains on cutting into federal spending. “So while there are no major disagreements on policy that would traditionally lead to a shutdown, there’s a nagging feeling in the House GOP that Johnson hasn’t fought hard enough,” Punchbowl writes, which in normal people speak means that he hasn’t made any pointless, terroristic demands that they can use to go on conservative media and act like they’re the “fighting hard for the American people.”
