John Kennedy just contributed to a days-long holdup on an initial package of fiscal 2026 spending bills — insisting he get a chance to vote against funding for Congress itself. The folksy Louisiana Republican says he's not the go-along-to-get-along type.

Sure, why fund Congress? There's plenty of corporations and billionaires who'd be happy to do that.

John Kennedy can fuck off. He's not folksy. He's just a hateful asshole.

Is this related to the brain freeze he had on Fox News recently?

Side Note: This is the same geriatric embarrassment that pulled a McConnell last week. Completely zoned out mid-sentence until his brain rebooted 🙄

I assume the effect would be to either make Congress pay the expenses for its operations (prohibitive to all but the wealthiest when you consider space, personnel, etc) or to disband Congress leaving only king dumbass to rule. The guy is an idiot.

Nothing to see here, just Politico hawking the false narrative of a GOP Senator who is part of an elite Louisiana political family, has a net worth of $17M, was a Rhoads Scholar at Oxford, and has been a key architect of laws stripping citizens of their fundamental rights. VERY “folksy”.

He likes being the center of attention. He needs that 15 minutes of fame about every 6 months to feel empowered. Slow talking and full of BS. Sit down you old fool!
