Speaker Johnson "Prefers" To Keep Feeding The Beast, Instead Of Following The Will Of The People

Because of course he does! There is always a reason to kick the can down the road, even though DOGE has identified a huge amount of wasteful spending that can simply be cut. No questions asked. JUST CUT IT.

But his masters need that sweet, sweet cash, and if it drives America farther into the abyss of out-of-control budgets and interest payments, well, that's a penalty he is willing for us to suffer.

Johnson Backs Temporary Spending Bill, Says Congress Should Codify DOGE-Proposed Cuts Later

House Speaker Mike Johnson said on March 2 that he prefers passing a clean government funding extension to prevent a government shutdown through September before working towards including cuts recommended by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in fiscal year 2026 legislation.
Johnson’s plan may help reduce the chance of a government shutdown looming ahead of a March 14 funding deadline. Republicans previously sought to incorporate the DOGE cuts immediately in an appropriations bill, which likely would have been opposed by Democrats.
“We’re looking to pass a clean [continuing resolution] to freeze funding at current levels to make sure that the government can stay open while we begin to incorporate all these savings that we’re finding through the DOGE effort and these other sources of revenue,” Johnson during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
“And then for FY26, for the next fiscal year, you’re going to see a very different process and a lot more efficient and effective spending for the people.” [bolding mine]

It's always f*cking next year...next budget...next term...next whatever.

One of the great things about President Trump is his ability to bypass, or simply ignore, the meandering, maddening, insane, delay-filled process of getting things done in Washington. It is so obviously part of the grift that it is internalized in every federal worker, from the guy who swabs the toilets to the Speaker of The House.

Speaker Johnson needs to get on board with cutting, and if he doesn't, and I don't expect him to, it is my most fervent desire that President Trump goes after him hammer and tongs. The American people have spoken, and they like the idea of DOGE leading the way to a halfway sane budget that reflects their wants and desires for America.

And not in seven years...Now!

An actual budget laying out where and on what all the dollars taken from us are actually to be spent. As is required by the Constitution itself. And by common sense and any conceivable framework of decency. What a monster.

It's all gaslighting. Every day, every issue, all the time. How dare this vulgarian demand we do things correctly and decently. Doesn't he know who we are? We are the ones who tax. We are the ones who spend.

How could he not understand this, unless he were just trying to be evil on purpose. What a whack job, right? How dare he.

U.S. Presidents including Ulysses S. Grant and Ronald Reagan have sought line-item veto powers. It was not until the presidency of Bill Clinton that Congress passed such legislation. Intended to control "pork barrel spending", the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 was held to be unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 1998 ruling in Clinton v. City of New York. The court affirmed a lower court decision that the line-item veto was equivalent to the unilateral amendment or repeal of only parts of statutes and therefore violated the Presentment Clause of the United States Constitution. Before the ruling, President Clinton applied the line-item veto to the federal budget 82 times.

Looking it up, Mercury is at 67% phase now. It's not yet at max eastern elongation -- that's around Mar 6, maybe a little later. It's 50% then.

Venus, however, is just 12%. It's going to disappear rapidly into the Sun, then whip around to the west side, appearing on the morning side.

186 Trump Halts All Military Aid To Ukraine As Zelensky Feud Intensifies: Report
Monday, Mar 03, 2025 - 03:58 PM
Update(1858ET): There's been contradictory reports all day, and at one point in the afternoon a firm Trump denial, but Monday evening Bloomberg is reporting that the US has paused all military aid to Ukraine amid the tit-for-tat open feuding with Zelensky.
"President Donald Trump ordered a pause to all military aid to Ukraine, turning up the heat on Volodymyr Zelenskiy just days after an Oval Office blowup with the Ukrainian president left the support of his country’s most important ally in doubt," the publication writes in a breaking story.
"The US is pausing all current military aid to Ukraine until Trump determines the country’s leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace, according to a senior Defense Department official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations," Bloomberg adds.
For now this is only the usual anonymous official, and while it could be premature (as meetings "mulling" a stoppage take place), it sure looks like that's where things are headed.

Mercury max elongation is Mar 8. It will be the highest above the horizon at sunset then.

Mercury whips around pretty fast, and these elongation cycles are very fast. On the morning side, it will be April 21, then back around on the evening side July 4.

Congress wants the body to bleed out. But they can not conceive what the deadly effects to them are.

We want direct pressure on the pulsing bleeders. The one marked Ukraine was staunched. But there are other, mostly in the entitlement area.

Trump is supporting this move by Johnson and, not said but equally true, Thune. They claim to want to let Elon have a few more months of uncovering stuff and then build all of it into the budget in September.

Trump might be wrong but Congress is not working against him, it's working with him. I don't think any of us believe Trump doesn't want to make cuts given what he's empowered Musk to do. Musk stood in the Oval Office the other day and said to the media that if the government spending isn't cut the country is going to go bankrupt. I don't think Trump is blind to this reality.

276 "Speaker Johnson needs to get on board with cutting, and if he doesn't, and I don't expect him to, it is my most fervent desire that President Trump goes after him hammer and tongs."

Trump himself doesn't want to cut spending. Why would Trump go after him?

277 Oh... I get it. But Trump is wrong. The cuts need to start immediately, the fight needs to start immediately, and Congress needs to be taught that business as usual is over.

Agreed. The Deep State tries to frustrate reform by being dilatory.

Simple solution (if possible legally): withhold pay from Congress until and unless they pass a budget. Make it in their interest to get their fingers out of their butts.

278 I'm sure the rest of you are as stunned as I am.

279 Is there anyone in this comment section that gives a rat's ass whether there is a government shutdown in March? I sure as hell don't. The only people you actually believe that a government shutdown would be a disaster are those in the government who think their contributions to this country are indispensible...and cannot afford to allow it be known that they are not and never were necessary at all.

280 Little twit Johnson.

The term, "Budget," has not been said in DC since that snake GWB was in office.

281 That's an absolute HARD NO.

You stopped all funding for USAID, but you're going to pass a spending bill with it all restored ? Does that not sound completely retarded ?

282 Johnson Frees the Lion and the Lion Eats Him

283 A testnet faucet provides web3 developers with free tokens for
deploying, testing, and optimizing smart contracts on test blockchains such as Sepolia, Goerli,
and Mumbai.

Because smart contracts on public, mainnet blockchains like Ethereum and Polygon require gas fees
to run smart contracts, testnets provide blockchain developers with a network that
mirrors production blockchain environments without requiring
gas fees that cost real money.

Get Testnet Tokens!

284 It's very easy to find out any matter on web as
compared to books, as I found this piece of writing at this site.
