...And So We Move To The House - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Given the relatively late hour there is little time for theatrics as the Senate passed the Bill to save the universe for three more months... and, already pre-approved by a confident President Obama, tosses the hot potato over to the House for rubber-stamping (or not)...

Starting at 925ET, there will be one hour of debate...

And then Democrats and Republicans alike, finally took their seats together at tables at the local 3 Michelin star restaurant, eating, drinking, laughing...at the great charade perpetrated upon the ignorant citizens of the Magnited States of America...

I don't know everything about Obamacare, but I saw in at least one state if you are a single parent making $30k a year, you will pay less per month than a single childless person of the same age who also makes $30k a year.

This is nothing short of communism and is absolute bullshit.

Private insurers will collapse in the reset and our lovely gov't will "save" the day (this time in terms of our commie health coverage). Horray. This is going to be a real glorious final coup of the constitution. And just the constitutional scholar in place to oversee it!

Quote from 10/8: 

"Prediction:

A "5 minutes to midnight" solution will be reached, and "all will be well again"...the sheeple will cheer at the effectiveness of our "benevolent leaders' teamwork", and many of them will be re-elected."

Of course, there is an upside to all of this...and that is, that EVERYONE is starting to realize that "the whole show" is just Puppet Theater Masturbation

People are on the edge now...as "DC puppet theater" keeps driving up the costs of living, I look for MOAR "shooting incidents" to take place...MOAR "insane" types of crimes, by people who've simply "had enough of this shit"...which of course means that DotGov will keep pressing for MOAR gun control...

What's your complaint with Boehner? Was he really supposed to continue stonewalling, when his own house republicans could not agree on a bill?  The Senate bill won't be able to pass the House on Pelosi's votes alone. Some Republicans will vote for it too. Save your blame those quislings.

Wed, 10/16/2013 - 22:14 | 4063556 booboo
booboo's picture

"when his own house republicans could not agree on a bill?"

They sent several bills to the Senate and they died there so to say they could never agree on a bill is somewhat dishonest. If the shoe fits, wear it. The republican leadership (read Boehner) never understood who or what gave them the house majority in the first place and that was the distaste of the status quo by americans, so what does the republican leadership do (read Boehner) try to assemble a open revolt agaist the very people that gave them the majority. They are a dead party walking, they could have run roughshod over the Dems but instead they sacraficed their entire party in order to maintain their grip on mediocre, the party that cheers victory when there is a tie.

What difference does it make to pretend and extend for 3 months? Is that like a 3 months window to prepare for Armageddon?

The dumb sheeple won't wake up anyway. But they likely have no money or wealth to protect. Many even think they're getting a gift from the Dems and Obama.

I'm wondering though what those people think who actually have skin in the game and see their backside being shorn again and again? Are they just going to keep playing this endless game which is going to affect their bottom lines?

Wealth is going to leave the US and the USD is my prediction. Take that to the bank dumb fucks in DC.

If wealth is fictional, an invention of the banking cartel completely dependant on "confidence", it can as easily evaporate as exist as we know it. It doesn't have to leave, it can simply disappear through inflation. This latest "compromise" that came about at the barrel of a gun to the head allows Obama to raise the debt ceiling over any house objection short of a 2/3 vote. Obama has proven with this that the republicans have NO power. The constitution has been voided in its outline of divided government and regardless of what is written, our fearless leader has control. They have suceeded in making it quite clear that the government has us by the balls. There are those who enjoy the warm embrace but many of us here understand that their grip is getting tighter and more aggresive and the chance of us keeping our manhood is all but gone.

I don't believe in suicide. To each his own. But every single one of these camel toe ass hats make me want to start cutting myself.

We're 3 hours away from what some are calling a catastrophic default leading to a near collapse of the financial system. We're overspending our revenue by over 50%. A gigantic welfare program sending billions into the health insurance industry coffers has yet to hit the books. The president is negotiating to keep troops in a land locked shithole of goat farmers for the next decade. Interest rates are being suppressed to the lowest level in human history. And all these assholes can do is applaud that they've agreed to kick the can.

Maybe they agreed to have a discussion with the president on the CAGR assumptions for revenue and expense forecasts 20 years into the future to the budget that hasn't been passed in over half a decade. Or is it too rascist, xenophobic, anti-science, homophobic extremist to bring those CAGR assumptions up? Right after he spikes the football in republicans' faces.

It is over...we are fucked.  Prepare accordingly.  

 

Bullion...put most of your cash "wealth" here

Bullets...have plenty of these.  They can substitute for #1.

Beans...If you don't have enough food to survive then #1 and #2 will be had by others.

At this point just raise the stupid debt limit to $100,000,000,000,000 just to make mockery of the "raising the debt limit doesn't create debt" lies.  And pass a bill giving every American their own Mercedez and 3000 sq ft house too.  Getting blown in a Benz is a human right assholes!

100% spot on, but it will never happen. People stupid enough to vote for Michelle Bachman and Charlie Rangel are too stupid to vote the bums out.

I thought the esteemed Rick Ackerman described things rather succinctly:

 

"I detailed my plan for shorting the stock market by legging into tight vertical put spreads that are perhaps $1-$2 in height rather than the usual $5-$10.  I’d prefer to do this with stocks in a strong rally, but it’s possible we may not see much of a rally if and when the urgently awaited legislative turd emerges from Congress in the form of a compromise.

 

pure poetry...

Republicans time to raise the white flag and fold.

Did Boehner do his little crying sob story before the expected fold?

King Obama was beaming with victory.

All the Republicans need to do now is loose badly in the next election to seal up control and make the one-party system official. 

The Democrats can then repeal the 2 term presidential limit and get rid the debt ceiling.

No doubt that is their plan. The republicans have been under attack since Obama was elected. Every disagreement has been labeled as racist or worse by the democrats and confirmed by their press. I'm all for the stand that was made but we all knew it had a 95% chance of failure. We cannot fight those who will give everything away to hold power. We cannot fight those who will desparage their opposition without and response or accountability.

Utterly bizarre scene in House chamber as House stenographer Dianne Reidy goes to the dais where POTUS speaks during SOTU and starts screaming something about God.  Can DC become any weirder?
