Boehner Caves: Said To Agree To Senate Plan
Just out from the NRO's Robert Costa:
Per Sen sources, Boehner has agreed to take up the Senate's plan and allow it to pass with Dem votes.
— Robert Costa (@robertcostaNRO) October 16, 2013
Assuming the above is accurate, the debt ceiling "debate" has just ended with Boehner folding like a cheap lawn chair again as he did during the Fiscal Cliff "negotiations", the GOP getting nothing, the Democrats getting everything they wanted, and US credibility - having taken the reserve currency to the edge - shaken now more than ever.

Knew it!
yes! because behind the curtain, there is NO two separate parties.
The final vestigaes of the Republic have been swept away. Long live the [Galactic] Empire!
This was the goal
The Potemkin Village charade continues!
Crying Carrot Caves, Reid Gets A Boner, er, Boehner
shocking
Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again..
(except for the occasional drone and falling airplane parts)
So THIS is what a USA bailout looks like. Start the printers, Janet.
I might be radical but, why don't we forget about the debt ceiling and just print US notes and forget about the federal reserve.
Gasp! I'm shocked.
Ok, back to porn.
We've officially gone Weimer.
""HIRED"" @ GOLDman SACK ...
The way I see it,
Dems are leftists
Republicans are in the center
The Right is presently vacant but will be filled by a new small-gubmint party in 2014 in a big way, sweeping Boehner and his ilk into the dustbin of history.

Ah, from back when Americans were the border-jumping smugglers.
From the blog "Reading Between the Lines"
For Boehner, the writing is on the wall for the end of his Speakership as he becomes the Obama of the House
By Kenneth E. Lamb
For Boehner, this is the end. It is the most devastating disaster of his incompetence as a leader.
So Obama and the Dems win again. They won because the Speaker is an inept patsy for their power plays. He is incapable of managing his own House, and now, again, the GOP looks the fool.
He, and the rest of the so-called GOP leadership, again lost the "words war" to the Dems.
The Dems got America to believe the GOP is the villain, and that all the Dems wanted was a "clean" Continuing Resolution - and for some unknown reason the GOP never rebutted their wordsmithing by calling it The Democrats Filthy Continuing Resolution - filthy with ObamaCare and its catastrophic effects.
I lost count of the number of bills the House passed to keep the government funded - sans ObamaCare.
The GOP even got to the point of doing what it should have done first, and passed a bill to require the Congress, its staffers, and the administration's political appointees - including the president, the VP, and their staffers - to sign-up for ObamaCare themselves - without the ungodly federal subsidies to wipe out the payments from the insured.
(Note to House and Senate members: I want exactly the same Gold ObamaCare policy and federally subsidized net price as you are getting. Let's see your duplicitous selves produce that for me - and for all the rest of us getting stuck with this abomination. We'll be sure to ask when you're going to do that at your next Town Hall.)
But Boehner and his gang of incompetents never got the idea across to America that it is the Dems in the Senate who were keeping the government shut down.
No matter how many times Obama and Reid said they would not negotiate, no matter how many times they said they would not allow the government to be funded on any terms but their own, no matter how many times they lied about a so-called clean Continuing Resolution that was nothing more than a "take it or leave it" acceptance of what they wanted - Boehner and his crew never got the truth across.
That is hard-core incompetence.
Some will blame the MSM. Aren't we at a point now when it has been long enough that the GOP should have built bridges to the American public to make an end run around those propagandists?
There are plenty of conservative outlets - starting with Fox - that offer a forum for communicating the truth; but the GOP could neither communicate the truth nor mobilize the people.
That is also - even more so at this point - hard-core incompetence.
And Boehner is in the power position that he must accept responsiblilty for not doing that.
Of course, all this also lends credibility to the argument that the Congress is a bought-off group of campaign fund whores who do what the oligarchs tell them to do.
If any member of Congress doubts that, get out of The Bubble and walk down the streets of your district or state and just ask anyone you meet. They won't lack for words to tell you off to your face.
Throw in the reality that we now have a Fourth Branch of government - the Money Branch - embodied in the privately held FED and its bank owners - the TBTP (Too Big To Prosecute) Banksters and Wall Streeters, starting with Jamie Dimond - who are now the true source of funding the federal government, and America can see for itself the increasing irrelevancy of Congress in running the country.
Treasury Secretary Lew's crocodile tears warning of fire and brimstone were nothing but a PR stunt in fear-mongering; so what did you expect him to say - that his boss Obama is a lying idiot and nothing big is going to happen to the stock market if the default deadline passes?
Boehner should have vaporized Lew. But instead Lew got away with another Obama lie campaign without a peep from the Speaker.
Let's face it: The stock market is not going to crash so long as the FED keeps printing money out of thin air.
America went bonkers when the elites proposed $800-billion in 1-year for a stimulus plan; Bernanke and his bank-owned FED pump $850-billion into the asset-management firms in just 10 months.
They dump over a trillion dollars a year into stocks through the scam call Quantitative Easing; and they have shipped well over a trillion dollars directly into European banks as well.
If America only knew, and understood, the way it is getting looted by this TBTP criminal class.
But because of the outright powerlessness of Boehner, the poster child for powerlessness, the charade plays on. Only now the House no longer calla the budget shots - the Senate, de facto, does.
Congratulations Speaker Boehner, for abdicating the constitutional power of the House under your watch.
So now the Senate will decide how to spend the money - and the House will again relinquish its constitutional responsibility to decide who gets how much, and when they get it.
Boehner, do the right thing by us, our children, our grandchildren, and all who follow, and resign as Speaker. You have no respect from the GOP or the nation.
You have become the Obama of the House.

Uh, no, not even close.

Puhleez. Your link is fiction. It shows Obama on the right. Obama has been a hard leftist since he was counseled as a youth by his biological father, the leftist Frank Davis, and his leftist maternal grandparents. There will emerge a party/movement that does not exist today, one that will be all about eviscerating and disemboweling the US Federal Govt. - military, NSA, and all the rest of the acronyms.
Obama has been a hard leftist since he was counseled as a youth by his biological father, the leftist Frank Davis
Lol
Drone strikes and corporate worship are not leftist ideals, neither is stacking an admin with neo cons and bank executives.
If you want to read up on what a 'hard leftist' actually is, compare this guy to Obama:

Boehner is such a limp dick....why is he even Speaker? If he was going to cave he should have done it long ago...he just singlehandedly put the blame for the enitre drama on the backs of republicans and gave the left a few more dominos. What a fucktard...I hope the repubs blow him out of his seat.
Yes he is a fucktard but if you actually expect to the repubs to select anything but an identical fucktard in his place you are sorely mistaken.
It is useless to reason with commenters such as Yes We Can. But... They are so bought in to the old ideological bullshit they will never get it. The only (slight) differences are between lesser whores and greater whores.
There are no differences between the two parties, and there are no real political sides when you both only advocate the government as the solution.
The whole lesser evil ideal is nothing more than a fantasy told by hopeful children thinking tha tthey have a way through the system to fix anything. It's a denial of th ereality that it's the system that is causing the problems itself.
Both World Wars were administrated by Left leaning Democrats. Wilson was an advocated Progressive, and FDR was an admitted Socialist. Nope you're right the lefties are peace loving like Truman whom decided to nuke a few hundred thousand to send a message to Uncle Joe...
For a long time I've thought Boehner was Pelosi's twin sister.
Far left and not quite as far Left.

Time to simmer down, and keep the Amerikun frogs on slow boil, before they all croak.
THOMAS JEFFERSON: "I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on
the continent their fathers conquered."
Boehner goes limp. Couldn't get it up with a crane.
No one could have seen that coming. Forward Soviet!
I think u meant pr0n.
You're absolutely right. Does anyone really think foreign investors want to by Treasuries when the US has already effectively defaulted? Every major creditor is likely considering how to move to the exits right now. China is obviously taking the Golden Exit with physical deliveries from the West daily. Japan is so damn broke, they are printing money as fast as the Fed (if not faster).
The politicians are totally missing the point if they think a debt ceiling limit being raised solves the problem in any way. Its just an enabler for them. A can kick. A higher limit credit card that is already 98% maxed out when the limit is finally raised. The foreign creditors see it and they want gold and assets rather than paper IOUs.
Canadian bonds should be pretty attractive now, eh? Yes, our economy stinks too, but much less than over there.
This will end badly for America. My best guess is when the rest of the world rejects the dollar, TPTB will lash out in one last desperate military way. The next reserve currency shift will not be a peacefull one.
For now the Free Shit Army will continue to suck the marrow from the bones of America. The vultures of Wall St. and the microbes on foodstamps, disability, Medicaid, etc... will finish off the corpse. Time to look for a Galt's Gulch to escape to.
"The democracy will cease to exist when you
take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

We are a republic, that ended when we forgot that we are a republic. Well most of us anyway. We all have rights, but very few know even what that means.
So? Foul Smellin' Yellin will buy everything that Treasury issues. The Bernank had a whirlybird. Janet's got a Huey. What exactly is the difference between a $4 trillion Fed balance shit and a $40 trillion Fed balance shit. Fuck the Chicoms. We got a "Janet". The Obama Mama.

"Push the Button, Max"
as mr chamberlin said before....."In extremis, what will happen is that all the losses will be foisted onto the Federal Reserve. The Fed holds something on the order of $1.6 trillion in debt issued by the Treasury of the United States. By having the Federal Reserve purchase blocks of Treasury debt and defaulting on these non-investor-held securities, the United States can postpone a default against real investors essentially forever"......nuff said
I dont like the FED, but would rather have Janet Fellon behind the wheel or Maxine Waters?
Really no differnce there, both will print till the "dollar" is worthless. Maxine might do it slightly quicker?
DJIA up 200. When this drunken hang-over is finished, so will we be.

Judging by her choice of a husband, Boehner's own daughter has no respect for him...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2324023/The-moment-proud-father-John-Boehner-watched-daughter-say-I-Do-dreadlocked-Jamaican-born-love.html
Because respect only comes in the form of marrying another corrupt hollowed-out shell of a white man like Daddy?
Maybe he works hard at construction, has been hassled by the state for non-crimes, and really makes her happy, what the fuck do you know, bootlicker?
Touched a nerve with you it seems. The fact is, she married a man who is the complete opposite of her father, and one needn't be Sigmund Freud to assume that this a reflection of her feelings for her father.

Repeal the 16th, Repeal the 17th, Take back the 10th and END THE FED!
So lets just pretend for a second that I actually believed in this Red team Blue team shit. Am I supposed to be pleased with Boehner's 'performance'?
This was an embarrassing charade. End of story. Its tough to lose credibility when you don't have any (but I think the Ds and Rs have managed it)

The economy is SO good I'm gonna mortgage my house and go ALL-IN the market.
Exposing the traitors to the party and the us constitution was the goal of the tea party. This will have HUGE bearing in the next legislative elections. It will help awaken the sheeple.
I don't know. It makes me think of the Occupy Thing: concrete demonstration that resistance is futile.
The sheeple won't awaken until there is real discomfort. Or there is a successful federal push to take away our guns. Republicans and Obama will take a hit in popularity because people don't want to stare the truth in the eyes.
That is why I wanted the EBT cards cut off. That would have freaked the FSA out. The letter we saw yesterday was just another bluff to pressure the spinless RINOs into caving in.
The did not cave. The outcome was preordained weeks ago. The theatre was just to fool the rubes back home that they they were standing for "them" when they were of course standing for Wall Street and the MIC all along. There are not RINOS (stupid term) just differing species of bloodsucking parasites.
" TRUTH will always be TRUTH, regardless of the lack of understanding, disbelief, ignorance, or lies."
You are assuming the sheeple will welcome being awoken. IMO, they prefer to be left plugged into the matrix, oblivious to the real world around them. So, in the end, nothing changes, just the names of the players.
The elections do not matter. Search 1981 Consent Decree DNC RNC. Corrupt SCOTUS affirmed it in late 2012 after the election theft. It allows the DNC to essentially steal elections.
Looks like Treasury prices are caving in too!
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/10_year
boehner could care less he knew he was going to cave just in time to make millions on treasury futures along with the rest of congress and senate etc etc
All rumor until it happens. We shall see.
You are without a doubt the most faithful little asspony the Repugnicants ever had.
This must be your first political experience.
bloomberg says "they're on the verge"
Oh they were "swept away" quit some time ago my friend! What we are witnessing today, is the dividing up the spoils of the Republic and the people! It's taking a long time, we were a proud and powerful people with much real wealth!
I thought he caved last week
Yeah.
And how the hell does it pass the House with just Dem votes, huh? How the fuck does that work? Who on the Pubbie side is siding with the Dem's and how can we identify them and warn them of the consequences of this suicide?!?!?!
It will be easy after the vote, and imho that was the goal all along of the tea party legislators, to expose the traitors before the next elections. Most of them will loose their seats. I CONSIDER THIS A WIN FOR THE TEA PARTY. Forcing politicians to commit and expose themselves is like holding a fish in your hands. Before hand you can only guess based on previous voting records.
After the fact is too late...elections are pointless and rigged...
This was only going to end one way...
Rumor has it...he has about 40+ GOP willing to go along. I thought GOP should just en-masse abstain and let the DEMs own the whole thing. The when the sheeple realize they don't have enough $ for the iGadget of the week they will get angry. But who knows...

He was against caving before he was for caving.
Pathetic.
Guess it's all down hill from here, the view was good while it lasted.
On the bright side, we have immigration 'reform' taking center stage now.........
..more time to stack
THIS sends us downhill?????? Out of control imperialism. Runaway spending. Criminal banking and energy sector. All manufacturing shipped to China. No legal accountability for corporate crimes. One awful President followed by another awful President. Useless wars. And this silly sideshow sends us downhill???? Wake up dude!
Well they can go back to blowing each other in the gym again. God Bless America
They have lobbyists for that.
Yeah, and they all need a good steambath to relax after all that hard work.
EXACTLY...two party hologram generated by the NWO cabal.
Exactly right, there are no 2 parties, just 1, and they're the BOD for the Overlords.

When the boot of Government is on your throat, it matters not whether it is left or right.
This is grade B movie drama. At least give us foreshadowing music to increase the tension. Yikes. Grade school theatrics.
Can someone please remind me why we bother to have two houses of Congress anymore? After the 17th amendment this is all just a sick joke.
DC (and pals) vs America
it's getting clearer every day...
why bother having a legislature or even political parties?. All hail Caesar, I mean POTUS!
I'd be in favor of replacing Congress, SCOTUS and POTUS with a computer.
But only if I got to write the program. I'd write it in COBOL and run it on an 8088.
So fucking predictable. Just keep raising it, we'll be at 200%/GDP by the time Ofucknuts is done
LYING propaganda from Costa - Boehner is impotent:
‘On the House floor, Congressman Chris Van Hollen decided to get a clarification on the rules of the shutdown. Apparently, normally any congressperson can call for a vote on any bill at any time. But just before the shutdown happened, the G...OP quietly passed a measure that said only House Majority Leader Eric Cantor can call for the shutdown to end (unless he gives a designee permission). Not even the most senior GOP congressperson, Speaker of the House John Boehner, is allowed to do it, without permission from his own guy.
Here’s the thing. Democrats are not always right. Neither are Republicans. The political system is messed up from top to bottom. But this is just crazy. The guy in charge of the GOP can’t end the shutdown." CREEPY.Watch and see.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jd-iaYLO1A#t=151
You are correct. Bob Costas is a lying sack of shit.
Only Eric Cantor, House Majority Leader, or his designate, can make the motion to hear the Senate Bill.
The Boehner is impotent. He can only shoot blanks.
I disagree that it is creepy. It was just insurance against the Boner's tendency to become flaccid.
Eric "the Cockring" Cantor is the one that is the Boner's guarantee that he performs as a Good Standing Member of Congress. Yeah. That is a goog name for him..
It seems that Bob Costas is publishing Propaganda. Eric Cantor, if he breaks, is setting himself up as the sacrificial lamb(skin).
Whichever party is not currently in power is always the party of fiscal responsibility.
If he doesn't lose the speakership then you know it was ALL a game. He should be all back of the bus in the GOP five minutes after this passes with nothing but dem votes and RINO cave-ins. ALL of them should be persona non grata in the party by this time tomorrow.
That's it; keep whittling!
can't wait for Act III of this Bukakkee Moar Schnozzle Theatre, it seems agitating the sheeple is now on the agenda and this was the wake up call. beware ALL head bangaded flute players from this point onward
Ok. Now that this show is over and the nation can get back to meteoric growth and strong industrial production, I would like to ask the patriotic politicians when they plan to visit our war memorials again? I have a close family friend who served loyally in WWII and would like to get the tour with Mrs. Palin and Mr. Cruz. That's right. Didn't think so. It was all bullshit for the cameras. And as far as who won. The only people that win are the scum oozing around Wall Street. The market skyrockets and they all buy new toys to compensate for their little limp cocks. Same as it ever was...........
This article is moot. Boehner can agree all night and all day if he wants. But according to the Rules adopted on the House Floor...
THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN MOTION TO EVEN HEAR THE SENATE'S BILL IS ERIC CANTOR OR HIS DESIGNATE
HR 368 SUSPENDED HR XXII, Clause 4 through a stipulation that only the House Majority Leader, or his designate, may motion to hear any Senate Bills pertaining to the closure of Government. Since the Closure of Government and the Debt Ceiling Debate are legally bound through other action...only Eric Cantor or his DESIGNATE can reopen Government.
What happens if Cantor were to suffer a fatal accident before assigning a Designate? Is Government shutdown forever?
Ah..fantasies...dreams...If only...NOT.
This 11th hour deal comes as a complete surprise. No one could have predicted this.
I would never have guessed Boehner would have folded so quickly. Shocker.
He doesn't want to miss another tanning appointment.
Like a cheap (orange) lawn chair.
I for one am just glad the even-handed, fair-dealing, remarkably sensible elected officials can come together and do what has to be done for the country, for the children, for our future. God bless these tireless public servants.
Leave it to MDB. That was weak sauce.
The fuckin crier! He folds more than a Korean laundromat.
HE COULD.... GO.... ALL... THE... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

The Purple Party always wins..
Adios.
Do Boehners actually cave? That would imply a kind of implosion thing. Or do they just sort of curl over when they are done with the screwing?
It must have been those couple extra lines that sealed the deal, yesterdays just wasn't long enough.
I think they're expected to cuddle, but all they want to do is sleep.

Or maybe mix some polonium in his tanning gel.
I just read a post. Boehner cannot do what he has been reported to do.
Only Eric Cantor, or his designate, can make the deal.

It is great news. Bob Costas is a misleading, misdirection, lying sack of shit.
While Boehner may be in agreement...HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
"crisis" averted.
Same as it ever was...
What a freakin' pussy this guy is. Far from shaking confidence in the US, if one single branch of government - just one - stood up, and said "This far and no further; we are not going to mortgage our children's future any longer" the confidence in the US would skyrocket. As it is now, the only US$ denominated assets I want to hold are Eagles.

If true I am never voting Republican again and I have for 20 years. No more donations.
Donations! There are no donations, only bribes.
Donations to the repukes? What a fucking fool you are and are getting what you deserve. Thanks
Maybe he brings it to the floor and it won't have enough votes to pass. His leadership role would go bye bye real quick.
That'll teach 'em!
I quit after 2008, but was going to come out of retirement to vote against the blonde abortionist running for Texas governor and Hillary in 2016. If this is true, I think I'll pass.
I quit voting, period. I was voting against the other guy, but it just encouraged the lesser of two evils to believe I liked his idea of spending too much rather than the other guy.
Twenty years to figure that you? Man you are really slow.
S'okay...at least you've come around...some folks like JLee will never escape their Matrix.
Congratulations for finally choosing the red pill. You are among friends on the Nebuchadnezzar II. If you find yourself consuming more alcohol and suffering waves of intense anger, this is normal. You will eventually find more constructive focuses for that anger but for now, just let it all out and purge yourself. People here will understand. Welcome to the real reality.
Miffed;-)
Will we get a weeping plea to pass the bill?
Will he cry for the cameras.
