Government Shutdown = No Salary For Congress, or Senate.
Gives new meaning to, "The Buck Stops

[Bonjour-World]

At this point in time McCarthy can not even pass gas.

Senators and Congressmen need to have their pay stopped if Government shuts down!!! They’re the ones responsible! Just Say’n 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

I haven't truly despised a speaker like this since Gingrich.

[beckywauer]

Thank God legislation passed by the Democrats, has protected SOCIAL SECURITY or a lot of us would be in grave trouble!

[ayungclas]

Those congress persons need to get a real job.

By the way, if they keep talking down to normal people, things will only continue to get worse and worse.

[markbishop]

McCarthy is in trouble because we are going to pay for this.

Has it always been a thing that the government is weeks/months away from a shutdown or is that only since the 2010s?

[ZirLanzelott]

6:10 No sir. End all the ‘aid’. Military. Pensions. Everything we’re giving them. End it.

He wanted this SO BADLY. He gave up his actual principles. This, folks, is the difference between POLITICIANS and PUBLIC SERVANTS.

Democracy's enemy is within, obviously 😂

It's incomprehensible that individuals elected by the people seem indifferent to the functioning of our democracy. Instead of working for the government's well-being, they prioritize allegiance to figures like Donald Trump, who holds significant influence within the MAGA movement. This has led to the possibility of a government shutdown, with Kevin McCarthy seemingly focused on pleasing Trump, despite the legal troubles faced by some individuals who followed his directives.

No more republicans party!?!! Done! Gone! Out!!!

[jimmyboi]

Good for them. America should not have to spend one more penny on Ukraine.

[jeanellnelson]

Even Paul Ryan wasn’t this bad was he? Every time the GOP gets the Speakership they end up quitting 😂

[PieCompanyGuitars]

McCarthy Can't Understand Normal Thoughts

[nonyabusiness]

polling lower than a traitor to the constitution🤣🤣🤣

Now is the perfect time for Biden to ask our allies for help

[heidihill]

All this will be fun when Republican seniors don't get their social security checks, and the stock market plunges.
I predict a good voter turnout for democrats next year!
