Giving in to pressure from convicted felon former President Trump and his fanatic loyalists in the House GOP, Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson is preparing to move forward on a plan to fund the government only through March 2025 in a continuing resolution with the SAVE Act attached, meaning that unless a moronic and redundant law to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is signed into law, the government will shut down, Punchbowl News reports.
“Will this work? No. First, it’ll be difficult for Johnson to get 218 votes for this proposal. There are a lot of House Republicans who just won’t vote for any CR. The hope in the GOP leadership is that Johnson will gain Republican votes by inserting the SAVE Act. But moderate Republicans and those in swing districts have little to gain here by threatening a shutdown just five weeks before Election Day,” Punchbowl writes, not even bothering with speculating what will actually end up happening beyond “The Senate won’t go for it – including some Republicans – and the White House will say no.”
