New one needed to pass House, Senate and signed by Trump.

Six (6) days.

Hmm, what possibly could distract the Dims?

This is merely a question ...

... from where are the funds being obtained (funding bill/resolution) to pay for all this witch hunt bullshit.

Largely from their day to day budget. They have decided that their "effort" in doing their job as House Members is to impeach Trump at all costs.

The assholes will probably vote themselves a big raise next year too!!!

So who's gonna show up if nobody is getting paid due to shutdown

[gnadfly]

Or "who's going to get blamed."

Something tells me the USMCA bill will be passed around the same time.

It appears Nervous Nancy did not think this through.

On Tucker last night he proposed that Mitch could keep the impeachment trial going for months and keep the Democratic Senators from campaigning.

Oh, the House members continue to get paid during a shutdown. Remember it's only those classified as non-essential that don't get paid during the shutdown.

That's why it's always a joke to scream about a shutdown. If they are non-essential, why are we paying them anyway?

A shutdown is totally a political thing these days. Few actually are effected in the end and those that sometimes are usually get back paid or funded.

well yeah, but what isn't, really?

that last shutdown was stupid gamesmanship. all the laid off received back pay.. I guess they went from non-essential to Hell-no-we-don't-need-them! still got paid.

That sounds like using "day to day" funds for "special projects"!

For instance, military appropriations for building a border barrier.

Yeah in SPEEDS thread I asked him to weight in on this since it is his beloved house and all.
Maybe he can give his convoluted explanation to us here...I won't hold my breath.

[dilbert firestorm]

mcconnell plans to put the EX-IM bank extension bill in the CR after a spat with waters over it.


bill gives it 10 years.

[the_real_Barleycorn]

Let's not forget the $250 million in military aid for Ukraine in the defence budget. The House is holding that up.
