Members of the House Freedom Caucus endangered House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) plan to avert a shutdown before the House even returned from August recess. Now the House speaker is going to comedically desperate lengths to urge them away from mucking up the appropriations process upon return.
Like Mexicans like to say, only pendejos(*) say what they are going to do… it’s specially idiotic when Trumps enemies have the means to make sure he never gets into position of executing his threats.

(*) Pendejo - Extreme form of stupid.

I wonder…
“If we shut down, all the government shuts it down, investigation and everything else. It hurts the American public.”
Kev, telling them a shutdown hurts the public it only encourages them.
craven: adjective: 1. contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly. noun archaic 1. a cowardly person
What a whining groomer…
There are about 45 Freedom Cuckoos and Kev is scared to death of them. What Pelosi said of him remains true: “He’s such a moron.”
I’ve been around to know that there have been strong Speakers of the House. And some that were not so strong.
But I’ve never seen one that is weak and helpless as this fucker, Qevin Mac.
Was in a local Tucson bar a few years ago…
Trump’s image came on the bar TV. Immediately a chant sprang up…
PENDEJO!! PENDEJO!! And several pointed at the TV…
Apparently the folks in my predominantly Hispanic neighborhood didn’t care for the gent from Florida.
The way I heard it is, “announcing your plans is a good way to make God laugh.”

That’s a vivid one.

The best part:
Criminal litigation will continue without interruption as an activity essential to the safety of human life and the protection of property.
The Federal prosecutions of Trump will continue even if the government shutdowns.
Shutting down the House and/or the Senate will not stop any investigations of trump or his buddies. Nor will it stop the judicial branch from holding four criminal trials of trump. Further there are three civil trials of trump coming. They will continue. All a shut down will accomplish will be to show voters the GOP does not care to do their goddamned jobs.
I don’t think the air traffic controllers will hold out for 35 days THIS time. The Northeast quadrant will slow to a crawl in about a week.
Has anyone unplugged Mitch McConnell and plugged him back in to see if that fixes the issue?

The kicker? Investigations of Hunter Biden can be put on hold.
Kevin McCarthy will go down in American History as the weakest and worst ever Speaker of the House.
An excerpt from an essay in the current Atlantic which I found heartening.
In 2020, more than half of Americans over the age of 65 voted for Trump—it was, in fact, the only demographic group he won outright—while 62 percent of voters aged 18–29 went for Joe Biden. Right now, older voters dominate the electorate, but the passage of time, unlike the counting of electoral votes, can’t be stopped by force. Trump will someday be gone, and his following will fade and diminish, just like the millennial cults that used to regularly proclaim the impending end of the world. The world never ends, but political movements do.
We may not be prepared for whatever takes Trumpism’s place, but at least we will no longer be shocked.
