A full-blown government shutdown may be coming, if reported rumors circulating among top Republican lawmakers are true.
In the power centers amongst the House of Representatives, there is chatter about a temporary stoppage of funding that could throw a wrench in the federal budget, according to a new Axios report.
"People are predicting a shutdown," one GOP lawmaker confided to the news outlet. "Even if it's just for a few days."
Axios learned a subcommittee chair told a fellow House GOP member that members are either "close to reaching a deal or it's about to blow up."
The swirling rumors come months after Congress fended off a similar threat of a government shutdown passing a bill with an 87-11 total to back a temporary funding package.
Ahh good job, it's a good thing that Republicans can't govern. And this will be a good reminder so close to the election.

Wouldn’t put it past them doing this as a means to mess with the election.
13Also, remember: somehow, DeJoy, is still the Postmaster General, despite actively sabotaging the operation of the USPS, both in general, and specifically around handling mail-in-ballots across the country. I’m absolutely floored that Biden hasn’t found some way to evict that fuckstick, because DeJoy is causing ongoing damage to the postal service and election integrity and reliability by continuing to occupy that position.

Here's an idea: The republicans that don't want to do their jobs can quit, and the rest of us actually run the government. Everyone wins!
22I’m planning out a tour of national parks this summer and I swear, if they fuck up my trip, I’m going to spend that time vandalizing country clubs in freedom caucus districts. I don’t care if I have to buy 17 dogs to help me, there will be some sort of shit in every hole.
17Do you need donations? Setup a PO box and I'll gladly ship some shit to help out!
