I guess government shutdowns are basically porn for the far right.
Vote Lemon Party
Only if the government shuts down and watches porn.
He'll have a lot more time to watch porn when the government shuts down.
Although there's nothing quite like being in his congressional office with his little Johnson out.
Someone should look at how much porn downloading and streaming bumps up when government employees are furloughed and have idle hands.
Maybe the evangelicals can be swayed to avoid a government shutdown with that kind of consequence.
Talk about term limits.. zing!
Edit: That was horrible. Can someone else do better?
If Johnson can't herd the nutbags, that's not a failure because Johnson is a nutbag. Johnson won't cut a deal with the Democrats like McCarthy did. Johnson, like the rest of the nutbags, will crash the US government because that's the plan.
Lmao I just pictured him with two bags of walnuts on the table gently coaxing them. I think it’s time for coffee..
JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL is in charge let’s gooooo
Edit: we ain’t goin’ nowhere lmao
truck swerves off the ravine because Jesus is imaginary
Off the ravine or into it?
We've been in the ravine for a while I guess.
We have left the ravine.
We have entered the canyon.
So how many months ago was a functional house supposed to pass a budget?
This isn’t about budgets. It’s about not fixing what is broken. Basically prior to Nixon, Congress authorized a maximum debt amount and the president was meant to spend it on programs that Congress wanted. Nixon decided he wouldn’t spend the money, which offended Congress and they changed how laws were written so that the president wouldn’t have a choice. Nobody ever removed the system of spending caps and here we are.

Geez feels like at least 3.
