so basically they now have 45 days to pass a CR or the Republicans will shut down the government again and 20 of those days will be spent picking a new speaker...
20 days to pick a new speaker
24 days to argue about the bill within their own party
1 day for the speaker to hastily save the party from owning another shutdown
7 days for that speaker to be kicked out
You forgot the next step: Repeat endlessly while claiming that Republicans govern better than Democrats.
Don't forget also claiming they are better at the economy as well.
Republicans are better at the economy.
Oh, wait. I forgot a word.
Republicans are better at TANKING the economy.
There, much more accurate.
It's that damn radical left reality again!
I feel like there's a "On the first day of ~~Christmas~~ legislation, the GOP gave to me..." carol, ripe for the singing, here!
