Congress averted a government shutdown Thursday evening when both chambers voted to pass a stopgap bill to extend funding through mid-February after party leaders brokered a deal to overcome GOP brinkmanship over vaccine mandates

The final tally in the Senate was 69-28. Passage of the stopgap bill ahead of a Friday at midnight deadline ended a standoff that had threatened to trigger a shutdown when a small number of Republican senators who object to President Joe Biden's vaccine requirements had held out the possibility of holding up a quick vote on the funding bill.

Other Republican senators fuming over potential shutdownSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had projected confidence throughout the week that there would not be a shutdown. And many Republican senators told CNN before an agreement paving the way for a vote was reached that they were frustrated that a handful of their members might cause a brief shutdown -- a fight they see as unwinnable in Congress.

The GOP wants covid to keep spreading. They think it can be used as an election year platform after they were the ones who allowed it to spread by ignoring it and calling it a democratic hoax.

Sound more like an rich banana republic to me. Nowhere else this shit is taking place. The united states 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔

Serious question not trying to be funny, if 50% pay taxes how is the government broke/in jeopardy 🤨

When. Has the government not passed a bill to continue the government? Why is it newsworthy when they do, when it happens every year. Every year it’s a “crisis” which always gets solved.

We need a multi party democracy. Too many important issues oscillate just between two hands

Sad moment for all Americans

I’d say shut it down but the stupid federal government still pays all the employees even though they don’t work. It’s just paid vacation for them. 😡😡😡😡😡

Do not BS, just DO it. No government, We are FREE!!!

This seems to be a threat every 6months to shut the Govt. down. Quit making everything political and do your fucking job

🤡🤡

Come the 2022 & 2024 elections remember what the Gross Odd People tried to do to let the virous spread.

Way To Go 💯 ...

Enjoy 😉

how much is this bill

12 pm en punto, mas q un holi

This only temporary until February. The GOP needs to get its priorities straight if they think shutting the government down over vaccines is a top priority.

Sounds like the 🍊💩. You create a problem then brag when you half assed fix it.

Who needs a government to stay in business when the majority of its business is something like this to kill people on purpose with the playbook doesn't make it legal doesn't make it right. makes it makes it corrupt.

Why would we pay to enforce an unconstitutional mandate?

OMG This system is ABSURD!!!!

More than a dozen Republicans had threatened to block the bill , but acquiesced after leadership allowed a vote on an amendment to defund the Biden administration's vaccine mandates .

None of this shit means anything at all. It’s all made up. Government shut down. When was the last time government was actually running anything

' I'm pleased that we've finally reached an agreement on the continuing resolution ', Senate Appropriations Vice Chair Richard Shelby ( R- Ala.)said . ' Now we must get serious about completing FY22 Bill's '.

My goodness please pray for me

despite a few GOP senators acting like children to gum up the works....obstruction is their only tool

Must SEE Political Parody

The move staves off a government shutdown but lawmakers still have a busy month ahead .

America 🇺🇸 has to stop printing money 💰to print more money. Richard Nixon's executive order,'to stop backing dollars with gold,' has finally took toll. Gold is needed to stop the Yuan from gaining ground, even though this is to late.

Shut it down

But most in the GOP leader's conference aren't convinced. The question here is...who exactly IS leading the GOP now? It's certainly not GOPLeader in the House, so who is leading in the Senate now? Any 'normal' GOP leaders are being called weak and are being cast aside... Kill the government or kill the people. That’s the gop Can we all take a minute to acknowledge the craziness that this represents?
