Senate Kills Obamacare Delay
With 54 voting Aye (and 46 against), the Senate has enough votes to kill the house proposal to delay Obamacare and send it back to the House. What happens next, only Vince Gilligan knows.
and the blame game continues...
The day so far...

D'ough!
Shut it down then and leave it that way, assholes.
...but there will probably just be a compromise that includes MOAR taxes, MOAR debt, and MOAR government.
Red Team vs Blue Team, and the only outcome we are sure of is that the League Ownership retains the franchise and keeps making money.
Society will not collapse without the US Federal government. Quite the opposite. An alcoholic's life begins when he puts down the bottle.
I'd vote for the House t osend back the same bill once again. Then the Senate can do this once more. Then they do the hokey pokey and the turn themselves around.
Did the asshats in my state/district actually vote for this shit? I voted Libertarian the whole way. I should have done the George Carlin thing instead...then I could really complain about the stupid motherfuckers in Congress.
Today going to be a long night.
How in the world did we ever get to the point where we have millions of non-essential people on federal government payroll? Is that like "Extras" in the movie business? Let me get this straight, we are borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars a year to staff DC with a bunch of people who are non-essential? We are going bankrupt for the purpose of having a bunch of extras in case the essentials are out that day? This is the definition of pathetic right here.
Watched 'Olympus Has Fallen' and rooted for the Koreans the whole time.
Whisper rumor that Capitol Hill Police are tossing loaves of stale bread to the throngs of musty debt serfs/ peasants who've gathered around Capitol Hill to catch of glimpse of modern Rome-antics in action....
Is there a crisp new $100 bill baked into the center?
Imperial Rome allowed the poor to attend Gladiatorial Games for free! And they handed out free bread at the shows! You would have to be a sucker to turn that deal down! Of course, you could pay to sit in the VIP box, too, just like today... If you wanted to hobknob with the emperor or his entourage.
Gladiatorial Games = Monday Night Football!
Free bread = EBT, food stamps, subsidies for multinational corps (I find people focus only on the subsidies to the poor, rather than all subsidies)
Whatever.
From this point on the USA is just a place to visit, like Disney Land and the local Pub. It's not a serious place to live and believe you won't be screwed over by someone or something. It's become a vacation, and places like Vietnam, Myranmar, Portugal, Ireland, and a lot of others are home. The healthcare won't bankrupt you and rents are OK. It's going to be a long time, I think, before the USA becomes home again for many people.
Shut it down!
It doesn't hurt at all!
Can someone drive a Caddilac with a pivoting M-60 in the trunk up the steps of Capital Hill and press the red key fob?
Please?
All you need is to give every congresman an AK47 with many rounds of ammo. The problem will solve itself within minutes.
They'd miss. Wankers.
By Mao, you're going to eat your Bammycare and like it!
If you're not with us, you're against us.
could I get my order of Freedom Fries to Go, please !
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

The thing that angers, and saddens, me is the amount of people who actually believe and give a shit about this. How in the hell did we become a nation so dependent upon a handfull of assholes in Washington?
Compliance, conformity, idolization of celebrity and authority, hatred, lust - these traits make for dependable, compulsive consumers and apathetic, reflexive voters. Win, win for business and government.
Lot of paper pushers with skin in the game.
Even sadder to me is the importance these people assign to themselves. Honorable? LOL. All deserve ridicule.
Trust.
It was a long process and built on the beliefs that we didn't have to do a fucking thing to remain the greatest nation on earth. People started believing all we had to do was show up, and all they had to do to get things was to bitch. For three decades I have hired entry level scientists for a number of companies. It has been eye-opening to see the changes as they occurred. Five years ago "kids" expected immediately what it took me years to achieve.
The US gave away it's mojo for free shit and telling themselves our strength is our diversity. What a crock of shit.
Fucking reset is a comin'. We'll find that drive after a painful time.
I am really having a hard time grasping this fact. I guess that I'm just out of touch when it comes to understanding the mind set of a person who will let somebody they will never meet dictate the actions of their lives.
Who stand to gain form Obamacare??
where does it all go in a Ponzi Scheme ?
Fucking Lunatics. Get it the fuck over with and show me if youy can stand up to the REID BITCH. You really are the Rotten Banana Republic.
Fuck you Reid....eh?
Weird scenes inside the goldmine.
This is the end.*

...ride the snake! (Hollywood Bowl live version)
Did anyone else notice how Obama has been using the word "mess" a lot. Congress is "trying to mess with me", "Dont mess with reserve currency status", bubbles "got us into this mess". Yea, you better keep it to one syllable so the pleabs can understand you. Dont want to take any chances.
I'll bet a Hershey bar there was a focus group on what word to use to describe a clusterf*ck, and 'mess' won.
Ozero is the leader of the United Mess of America
re ... anyone notice Obama has been using the word "mess" a lot.
Yes - apparently "diss" didn't pass the teleprompter spell-check..
Banana come, banana go.

I'm watching the Stay Puff Senator from Maryland and listening to her list off all of the departments that won't be working, which will "hurt the American people", and as she goes down the list all I can think is:
Privatize it
Privatize it
Privatize it
Privatize it
All In can think about is ripping the head off of the fear mongering bitch, and shitting down her wind pipe.
Careful, Doc, she looks like a Steelers defensive tackle in that suit. I'd hate to see you carted off the field.
---------------------
Ha! She just said that in her state, people in the private sector work because of the public sector. Welcome to Backwards Land.
The Steelers have defensive tackles?
I hate to say it, but as bad as the Steelers are playing this year, she just may be an improvement.
Don't privatize them, dammit, eliminate them. Most of them are unconstitutional, anyway!
fuck this shit, its just another excuse to pump the markets to all time highs when a solution is agreed to.
the govt cant shutdown forever, although that would be awesome
Blah, blah, blah, that lady is a bag of wind. My, get your boots out. All BS.
market closes green
market closes red
Barbara Mikulski - poster child for what is wrong with CONgress, and the country. Eleanor Holmes Norton is a close second.
She's C. Clinton's mother-in-law, I think. Her son is Goldman Sux. Fascism runs deep in this family.
No, you're thinking of Marjorie Medvinsky. Why am I not surprised at the lack of knowledge exhibited on this thread? 22 y.o. Ayn Rand wannabe wankers living in their mothers' basements while paying off loans...
Shutdown the government? If only we could be so lucky....
Complain about the government: waste of time
Bet $ against the government: waste of money
Forget the politics and make money.
shut the bitchez down
Fuck you Harry and Barry!
So if all you clowns in CONgress represent citizens why are you forcing us to abide by the law and yet giving big business a pass for a year, and yourselves a pass for life?
We all know the government leaders are high on Cocaine. Just shut it down now, and that will do more for the environment than anything else. The world will be a better place. WE SHALL SEE IF THIS IS ALL FAKE. What are they doing with the other hand preparing an invasion somewhere like Syria. DISTRACTIONS>
'Elections matter...' Riiiiighhhht. Only to the pre-picked winner, his puppeteers, and Diebold.
May be a good strategy to get everyone's vote on the record. Is there a pony in that shitpile?
Senator Straw Man currently has the floor.
YOU ARE WITNESSING NAZI LEADERS SPEAKING. THEY KNOW BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
FREAKING WOW
TOTAL LAWLESS LEADERS BUT WE KNEW THAT
Hey Bitch - it isn't just healthcare that's off the rails, it's the whole Country! Open your eyes!
