House Republicans closed out the week by canceling votes on two party-line funding bills in the span of 48 hours, a setback for new Speaker Mike Johnson and a sign of persisting dysfunction in the chamber ahead of a key funding deadline.
They pulled a transportation-housing bill late Tuesday as some coastal Republicans opposed cuts to Amtrak. And they yanked a financial services and general government measure on Thursday morning that included divisive anti-abortion language.
It’s a step backward for Johnson, R-La., who had hoped to show progress on appropriations bills championed by his party’s conservative wing in order to secure their votes to pass a short-term bill that would keep the government open beyond the Nov. 17 deadline.
What I’m getting out of this is these Neanderthals can’t do their jobs.
Neanderthals were very skilled and were definitely able to do their jobs. These chucklefucks, on the other hand…

Ew. Also, apt. Not sure if it was a typo or not, but if it was, keep it.
Neanderthals were just as smart as homo sapiens and were highly empathetic, with the earliest record of caring for the sick among them.
We’d be quite lucky if the GOP even loosely resembled the Neanderthals.
They were also taller, strong, and known to sexuslly assault their captives. But nowadays its more of an expression than a literal.
Lol. You’re going to need a source for that last claim there.
And they were roughly the same size as homo sapiens at the time and shorter than modern humans: https://www.jstor.org/stable/25757530
I’m not getting into a debate about neanderthals because I used an expression referencing their public preception, dude.
Aka “I was spreading misinformation, got corrected, and rather than learning and moving on doubled down on even more wildly misinformed claims I can’t back up.”
Yes… spreading misinformation… about Neanderthals… lmfao bruh
