The Senate "Clean Bill" Debate Begins... - Live Webcast
Harry Reid has already made it abundantly clear that they will take up the House-passed continuing resolution and immediately table (or put aside) the two amendments added on Saturday night (Sunday morning). Under Senate rules, a move to table one or both of the amendments would require a simple majority vote and send the Senate-amended version of the bill back to the House. News reports indicate that the House leadership is planning for this possibility (and will not acceot a "clean bill"). Given Reid has scheduled a press conference for 245ET, it would appear he is not too hopeful that anything else will occur. Once the new new new 'clean' bill is passed, it ping pongs back.. and we start all over again... with a new blame game starting.

This is all a circus. The final deal is already made. They are just waiting till 11:59:59 to say "See... I fought soooo hard for your interest but in the end government must go on."
Still counting

Harry "Anyone Who Believes The Constitution Is Relevant Is An Anarchist" Fuckin' Reid.
Anyone in Nevada should be shot for letting him be Senator again...or prove their mettle and get rid of him. Recall Harry Reid. Rat bastard Harry Reid.
Harry Reid hails from the land of 40 acres & a Ho' (or a stable full of them).
He's the perfect metaphor in real life as the leader of the Senate & a representative of CONgress.
"The more they spoke of their integrity, the faster we counted our spoons..." /sarc
No "clean bill" of health for you!
It seems ZH is now deleting posts and banning posters...
WTF?
So, who got dissappeared now?
I'm not a violent person but whenever I see him I have the urge to punch him in the face.
Yet approximately 25,000,000 Americans working for government at the federal, state & local levels (or, stated alternatively, 1 out of every 5.6 Americans officially employed), unionized & well compensated/fringed-benefited to the tune of 1.6 trillion USD annually, want to snuggle with him.

+1. Thanks.
Nevada has no mechanism to recall a sitting Senator. We are stuck with the jackhole.
That asshole Dana White, the founder of the UFC, threw his weight behind Harry Reid when Reid was on shaky ground, pushed that mangled prick back into the senate to keep tyranny alive and filet open the guts of our constitution.
So fuck Dana White, fuck the UFC, fuck Harry Reid, FUCK the Establishment Democrats and Republicans especially the Progressives in each, and FUCK YOU BARRY & BERNANKE!!!
Long Live Ron Paul!
How on earth did Harry Reid get re-elected? Nevada is a disgrace and he looks like a pedophile to boot
He rigged the machines. It's Vegas.
This is all as interesting as watching a bull with diarrhea, and it produces the same result.
Now my wife is gonna wonder why I bought a box of Ex-Lax ^.^ =D
We're gonna need moar Depends.
We're here for you, brother.
Damn laggy connection multi-post >_>
Only this time without the New Year's ball dropping in the background
This is all complete bullshit. The dance and show is to distract from the reality that THEY ARE BUSTING THE SEQUESTER. These CRs spend at a rate beyond the Sequester limits.
They are going to run the deficit up north of 1 Trillion again.
If ANY of these filthy cocksuckers, not that their is anything wrong with that, came into my house, I'd hide all objects of value.
All hopes of a Representative democracy are flushed when the fuckers DON'T READ AND MOST IMPORTANT, THINK about the shit they vote on. And a special FUCK YOU call out goes to OBAMA about putting bills up a week before they are considered.
Oh yeah, FUCK YOU BERNANK. We know you are going to control the vote through the markets anyway.
Ummmm... I think it's okay to take issue with filth.
It's a Pig circus....
<--- This is real.
<--- This is Memorex.
+1 and "Oh, and too, you can see, we're really important and we work diligently for our constituents. Please don't forget to vote for me, bitchez, the two party system overcomes. "
Cut up the credit card, congress. You have shown zero ability to budget your expenses. It isn't any more complicated than that.
Time to make the sausage.
ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
YAAWN! Default already. It does not matter anyway if now or in a year or two. lol
So we need a catalyst to make someone blink..........
Does anyone know what Constitutional Right are they trying to steal with this dog and pony show?
Dysfunctional Government.
They are simply TRADING this shit.

What's to say?
They're all a bunch of fucking jerks. Every single one of them.
You took the words outta my mouth, chunga!
This would be more interesting reading if instead of government shutdown the topic was congresscritter/senator X/Y/Z's vitals were shutting down.
Booooooooooooooooo!!!!(throws rotten vegetables)
After Satire comes Farce.
I'll bet these guys do already have some sort of compromise in the works. They'll announce it just in time to RAMP the 1st day of Q-4 trading into the stratosphere, and crush the shorts yet again.
Can't wait until CONgress completely loses order and they are having fist-fights and throwing chairs.
Barbara Mikulski: "What is going to happen at the Weather Service!"
ROFLMAO!
FAIL!
RINO Republicrats already voted to kill the previous bill, why should today be any different?
Doing Bin Laden's bidding. Bringing it down; better they do it themselves with monopoly deals butting heads like the battering rams of 1500s.
So kids in CONgress, would it not be fair and just to your constituents to shut down the government until either corporations have to obey and abide by the law this year - or individual citizens get a one year delay just like big business does?
You see who the majority on both sides of the aisle work for here; the kleptoligarchy.
And the threat is - goodies from .gov will be shut down! Oh my!
just look at these magnificent psychopaths...it's amazing
The health insurance exchanges are not ready to do business. On the eve of open enrollment Oct 1, marylandhealthconnection.gov/individuals is not open for business, accepting applications or providing any contract specifications for any insurance policies.
Unmitigated disaster.
