WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s proposal to break through the budget deadlock appeared to be gaining little traction Monday, as another missed paycheck loomed for hundreds of thousands of workers and the partial federal shutdown stretched into its fifth week. Despite the fanfare of the president’s announcement and the rush to release the legislative package late Monday, voting in Congress was not expected to unfold until later in the week.

    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 06:38 AM

I was going to say that it smells like his farts, but that wouldn't be very classy of me. It appears that Donald's Pecker has a lot to say on the stand right now because Trump looks nervous.

    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 06:37 AM

    Never mind that Trump was the one responsible for holding up the aid for months in the first place. Now lickspittle Lindsey Graham wants to give him credit for it finally passing. Sadly it looks like the evangelicals were the ones that pushed Johnson to finally put the bill up for a vote, not Trump. Here's Graham responding to his fellow Senator JD Vance's criticism of the bill on this weekend's Fox News Sunday: GRAHAM: So this idea, give up on Ukraine, makes the world safer, if you pull the plug on Ukraine because you don't have enough capability, there goes Taiwan.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is escalating her threat to remove Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) from power, but she faces a steep climb if she hopes to achieve that goal, The Hill reports. “Not only has the Speaker recently received a glowing review from former President Trump, the GOP’s presumed presidential nominee, but Democrats remain ready to rescue Johnson from a conservative coup.
