Senate passes government funding bill, averts shutdown​

By Richard Cowan, Bo Erickson, Andy Sullivan and Katharine Jackson / December 21, 20244:00 PM GMT-5
WASHINGTON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress passed spending legislation early on Saturday in a down-to-the wire burst of activity that will avert a destabilizing government shutdown ahead of the busy holiday travel season.

The Democratic-controlled Senate in an 85-11 vote passed the bill to continue government funding 38 minutes after it expired at midnight (0500 GMT Saturday). The government did not invoke shutdown procedures in the interim.

Think Biden will sign it?

It makes me feel old.
Is that a Furby?
They're bath averse? Have to take the battery out first?
Not only do I not get the meme. I don't get the faucet.

It's a reference to the movie "Gremlins" - the `mogwai' comes with a warning warning to "never expose him to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight."

It makes me feel old

and stuffy.

At the cinema I saw E.T., not really a horror movie
and Child's Play featuring Chucky.



After that my cinema routine fizzled, missed out on Gremlins.

After high school I floundered in a math course or two. It's been decades since I've seen a trig. table.

I tried on this one, fizzled. Sooo ...

"recalled Tesla ..." #1,516

Trump's trademark superlative rhetorical style displaces what in the administrations of other presidents is recognized as adequate executive competence. BUT !

Trump has already had 4 years OJT at 1600 Penn Ave., followed by a 4 year siesta to catalyze his own chaotic style.

This does NOT mean Trump has obtained a clue about pragmatic, efficient administration. Perhaps worse,

it means Trump's wrong leg is now long enough to reach the accelerator pedal. BUT !

Why should we worry, knowing the hands of competence are on the wheel, like Musk & Ramaswamy? Right? Far right?

"worm" #1,518

CBS' The Late Show host Stephen Colbert calls RFK a worm cemetery, based on the diagnosis that RFKj's brain worm has died.
A geranium in the cranium?

It's bad form to gloat over the misfortune of another.
Is it any better form for the U.S. president elect to choose such unfortunates for his inner circle?
