Arrr, Speaker Johnson be sailin' to Davy Jones' locker with his treasure hunt among the scallywags of House GOP!
2024-11-19
Avast ye! House scallywags be squabblin’ like cats in a storm over the thought of tossin’ the treasure chest o' government gold into the next year. Yarr, their faces be as sour as a barrel o' rotten fish! What a merry mess they find themselves in!
Arrr, gather 'round ye scallywags! The House Speaker, one Mike Johnson, be tryin' to spin a yarn 'bout a short-term bill to postpone the government funding squabble till the new year, but it be not settin' sail smooth-like with the House GOP crew.Rep. Ryan Zinke, a former captain under Trump, be shiverin' his timbers at the thought. He claims this plan be likin' anchor chains weighin' down the ship on the mighty first 100 days of Trump’s return to the helm. “We can’t be tangled in the past like a sailor with a seaweed beard,” he grumbled.
Johnson, in his captain's quarters, be sayin’ time's runnin’ out with a deadline on the horizon. A wee extension, he thinks, might just help the GOP steer the ship when they be in full command. But beware! Hardliners among the ranks be settin' their jaws like barnacles on a hull, unwilling to budge from their stance against such measures!
With frustrations brewin' and some mates sayin' they’ve never voted for a CR, the winds of dissent be blowin' strong. Rep. Mark Amodei warned that if the crew ain’t united, a government shutdown be as sure as a cannonball flyin' on a stormy night. So, will they hoist the sails for a smooth passage, or shall they be left adrift in the sea of budgetary troubles? Only time will tell, mateys! Arrr!
