    It’s probably going to be fine. House Republicans have shit themselves in the foot so severely this will strengthen house Democrats.

    There’s enough in reserve for the interim.

      The problem right now is that Ukraine is doing well with their offensive and has a bunch of momentum same great morale. And they had plans (and hopes) as to where each side’s armies would end up when winter came, when both sides would start digging in and Russia start laying in major defenses against the spring. Now all of those plans are in jeopardy.

      Also, Russia is going to see what kind of harm slowing US aid can cause Ukraine, and they’re going to redouble their efforts to manipulate both the Republican base and the Republican party, and to undermine the 2024 elections.

        I think they’ll be fine. This whole shutdown thing has blown up in the Republicans faces. 45 days from now we’ll be doing this dumb shit again and Democrats have no incentive waiver.

        This was a big wide crack that just opened up in the Republican house. Dems may be able to fully sunder the far right from just regular rightwings in the next fight.
