"it's a symptom of a deep and abiding dysfunction that Republicans, despite holding the presidency, the Senate and the House, can't fund the government and can't even get themselves to get together in a room to strike a deal."

They need 60 moron

The House passed a spending bill, funding the government and keeping it open. The MAJORITY of the Senate, 54%, voted in favor. But, as @JustinWolfers pretends not to understand, you need 60% to end cloture. So you voted against cloture? It's public record.

You need 60 in the Senate. People don't seem to understand basic math. 60 60 60

There aren’t enough republicans, only 53. You should know that.

Such a retarded statement. But here’s the explanation even you might be able to understand

I can’t wait for the divorce. You fucking regards deserve your own country.

yes, it takes 60 votes. that was the point - to force compromise, not collapse. but the gop turned negotiation into hostage politics: pressure at gunpoint, zero concessions. the rule was meant to slow power, not to stall governance. clarity isn’t consent.

MAGA is unable to govern. They thrive at bullying and dividing the country. No other administration has ever been this incompetent. Their signature legislation has been two massive tax cuts for the rich that created the largest budget deficit in history.

There is an old meme pre election That seems very predictive now:

I know you’re aware of the 60-vote filibuster hurdle, so why lie the way you do?

Is this guy retarded?

@Melanieakroyd Trump and the GOP Won’t Include the Democrats in Anything,Now they Need 4 Votes from the Democrats and They Expect Cooperation from Democrats who They Exclude Daily,So How About Fluck You to Trump and the GOP,Come Back when you want to INCLUDE US IN EVERYTHING🫣😊

So…if in the future the Senate GOP filibusters an appropriations bill that results in shutting down the government because the bill doesn’t include a huge tax cut for the wealthy, you’ll be on the air declaring that it is a symptom of Democratic Party dysfunction that they haven’t added the tax cut to the appropriations bill?

Who is going to tell him?...LOL

There are 53 R Senators all voting yes to open and fund the government. It takes 60 votes and democrats have voted No 14 times. Stop acting like a ignorant 🤡 it’s the democrats shutdown.

What a dumbass.

You should take a class on how bills pass, it takes 60 votes in the senate.

Republicans hold power like a grudge.

Soon, we'll look at temporary govt shutdowns as "the good ol' days" because, with no interest by either party to bring the deficit under control, we're headed for a fiscal crisis much more devastating and painful. Tough luck for the kids and grandkids, but we got ours, right?

Well, fundamentally republicans don’t believe in democracy. They believe only their vote counts.

why are dumkfucks like you still spreading stupid lies like this? everyone knows it takes 60 votes to pass the CR bill

You’re an idiot.

You are a fucking retard, oh sorry, I did not notice that it's just the BBC lying again.

Crocodile Cramer - an economist who can’t count to 60

@MalcolmNance Absolutely agree! The House as allowed the Executive Branch to becoming topowerful. The Constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. This ensures that no individual or group will have too much power.

Ministry of Truth - NPR - "elite" colleges gov funded misinformation Home school your kids. Get them in a trade school. Try to never use or hire anyone who has these degrees that are unable to separate their bias and cant teach basic civics because if it.

60 votes needed dipshit

Why should taxpayers fund illegal immigrants life? When will libtards admit Obamacrap sucks and was just an expansion of inefficient, high priced government health care. A symptom of dysfunction when the Dems held Prez, Senate, House and passed Obamacrap? Come on Justin, admit it

I guess you don’t understand Senate rules, or know there are not currently 60 Republican senators?

The donor class is getting nervous about not being able to use their private jets. Notice how many Rs are mentioning airports and not SNAP today?

He knows he’s lying. He knows you know he’s lying. Friendly media will not push back, & that’s the point. He can influence with omissions and workshopped talking points on the BBC. He’s then uses the to get attention on X. He knows, but does not care, that it takes 60 votes.

hey punkin'head! takes 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate.

It takes 60 votes…
