Nancy "Let Them Eat Cake" Pelosi parties while troops go without pay.

Yesterday, Politico's Jake Sherman tweeted that Pelosi was hosting a party to celebrate "Schumer's Shutdown" at an upscale Washington D.C. restaurant, Aqua Al 2, for all House dim-retards.

As Jackie is fond of saying, some more counties just turned red.
I personally favor LOCKING THEM THE HELL in the halls of congress, NO ONE IN, NO ONE OUT, till they get this done...

Hopefully soon she will be "speaker of the house" of the newly formed country of Californication. Then she will probably desire a well paid and well armed U.S. military to defend them from the "boat people" coming from the South!

Sounds to me like the GOP was using the military pay as a Prop.

https://villages-news.com/senate-maj...-military-pay/

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell kills effort to protect military pay.

Senator Claire McCaskill introduced a resolution that would have secured pay for service members, she then said, “I don’t want one moment to pass with there being any uncertainty of any soldier anywhere in the world that they will be paid for the valiant work they do.
Despite widespread concern for the issue by all citizens The POTUS and Senate leadership didn’t show any regard for protecting military pay as they moved to shut down the government. Senate majority leader McConnell quickly objected to McCaskill’s resolution.

The subject was military pay.

The Dems offered a solution to fix that problem and the GOP wanted no part of it because they wanted to cry about the military not getting paid.

Notice the GOP had no trouble paying the military in 2013 when they thought they would be blamed...

If you think Trump gives a fuck about anyone other than Trump, you have not been paying attention to Trumps life story.

That's a disingenuous argument. The "continuing resolution" is the patch. A simple vote of "yes" by McCaskill, Schumer and fifteen other dim-retards would be all the "patch" that is needed to keep the government operating.

Is the "Villages News" written by the village idiot? IB is correct the CR is the patch.

Personally I don't think anyone should get paid and NO back pay once the CR is signed and the government funded. See how fast these assholes get things done then.

When Congress and the president fail to agree on and pass one or more of the regular appropriations bills, a continuing resolution can be passed instead. A continuing resolution continues the pre-existing appropriations at the same levels as the previous fiscal year (or with minor modifications) for a set amount of time. Continuing resolutions typically provide funding at a rate or formula based on the previous year's funding. The funding extends until a specific date or regular appropriations bills are passed, whichever comes first. (Wiki)

Now that was contrariness for the sake of being contrary.
