US House of Representatives votes to block debate on military funding

The House Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy, was dealt his second humiliating defeat of the week on Thursday, when his conference again failed to approve a procedural motion as members continued to clash over government spending levels with just days left to avert a federal shutdown.

A proposal to take up House Republicans’ defense spending bill failed in a vote of 216 to 212, with five hard-right members joining Democrats in opposing the motion. The vote marked the second time this week that the motion had failed, after members of the House Freedom Caucus first blocked the bill on Tuesday.

This is unbelievable. McCarthy caved to these fucking clowns, and now we are here. The party that controls the House can't get a fucking bill passed. And you wonder why we want to pitch this fucking cult into a ravine.

It is the Trump Party. They want Trump to overthrow the government with violence.

He does not have a majority. There are 212 Dems, 9 MTGs and 212 Repubs.

Yep, and the nine are running (or ruining, depending on your viewpoint) the country. The solution is obvious, but the solution means McCarthy loses his job. Tough shit.
