Why does the GOP have so much of a problem with keeping members in line? Pelosi never did, They voted as a solid block with no defections. What's the difference?
Answer is simple...there are members of the GOP with integrity who want NOTHING tangible. They cannot be bribed with a quid pro quo of "you give me money for this and I give you money for that"
They do not want "stuff", they want the opposite of stuff...they want a balanced budeget and to shut down agencies. They want to NOT spend money. They want to balance the budget.
It is hard to sway somebody who wants nothing.
Democrats can always be bribed, they will always say..."Hey, I think your project is a total waste of money, but if I vote for yours, will you vote for mine?" And the answer is always "yeah, sure" and it results in 1500 page CR's
And for the Democrats/Left/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Communist/Woke, there is always a deal to be made...because they never worry about the money or how much they spend...because it is not their money...it is the taxpayers money...or worse...they believe the government can simply print money and there will be no consequences.
I technically don't have a problem shutting down the Government...AFTER...they get Trump in office so he can start using the Executive Branch's power to slam closed the Border.
C'mon boys and girls. Accept Johnson and then have your fight.

Mark requested a yule log cake so I reached out to my gutter family. 90% of you responded with “buy one“….Which I appreciate. However, a few Gutter souls delivered. Congratulations to @Kimmiesee for her Yule Log salted caramel filling recipe.. so good so good(I used Cook’s Illustrated sponge cake recipe but used Kim’s filling). Also, congratulations to @jennybadger2 for her jellyrole recipe. Mark asked me to do one with jam and here it is. I will be making this one for Mark‘s 64th birthday on February 10- because LOVE.
Thank you everyone else for sending me their recipes. I will be definitely using @MarkLawson buttercream frosting and if I ever find white chocolate pudding mix, I will try @Mmmril Sandra Lee recipe.
Please keep an eye out for an email from a Gutter team member @Kimmiesee and @jennybadger2.
Mark has officially put in a request for a Yule log.
Calling all bakers—does anyone have a TRULY foolproof recipe? And I mean foolproof-foolproof. 😅
