Senate Readies Vote On The "Deal" - Full Bill And Live Webcast; Update -> Deal Done...
UPDATE: There will be two votes by the Senate on the deal by 8pm. One on cloture (requires 60 votes), and one on final passage (simple majority)... then it's on to the house...
*SENATE VOTES 83-16 TO ADVANCE ACCORD TO END U.S. SHUTDOWN (cloture)
*SENATE HAS ENOUGH VOTES TO PASS MEASURE ENDING FISCAL IMPASSE (Deal Done)
We assume there will be the normal grandstanding with every Senator wanting to get their soundbite in for saving the world... but the vote is about to occur (expected around 6pm) before sending it to the House for apparent rubber-stamping... we will see of course...

People are quite mad at Boehner if you go on his Facebook page...
People don't understand his role. I say he deserves an Oscar. Think Peter O'Toole in Becket.
Should be good for a 15 point move on the S&P.
FTW. Come on with the Barrycare!!
The FSA doesn't know what's about to hit them.
Cruz
you emeffer
take the sheep to the edge of the cliff
and watch them go over
redeem yourself
resign the GOP
All this bullfuck leaves me speechless. A bunch of bootlicking govt pussies, putting on a show to make themselves look bad in order to purge the Tea Party or any other 'uncouth' elements who don't tow the line.
Fuck'em ALL.
Liberals and Statists are freaked out by Cruz. I don't understand why he's such a threat? They already control the MSM message and own 1/2 the Repubs.
You love your actors, don't you.
You're my favorite. Do the I'm a libertarian act again.
Actually the oscar should go to Cruz. If you do not know what I mean then you are in trouble.
is cruz a communist from canada?
Hate to break it to them but,...
ALL SPENDING BILLS MUST ORIGINATE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES!!!
[Not that this seems to matter to (In)Justice Roberts...]
agreed, but...ah...just know all these smurfs will burn in hells hell for enslaving their own people.
Sure would be LOTS more fun to see them burn right here on earth, seconds before drowning in their own effin blood.
I bet you one of dem fur-lowd gub drones ordered to this site to collect names to deny the resistance medical care under oscama no care.
NY Rep Peter King declares war on Cruz on Twitter
This was designed to crush anything that remained of the tea party.
I haven't heard a peep from Rand. Some from Lee....
But I agree. All three should leave party in protest.
Come on, they're just better actors. If they actually believed what they said, they would not be sitting by quietly now. They would fillibuster. They would walk out. They would do something. Instead, the speak loudly and leave the stick at home. Watch what they do and pay no attention to what they say and you'll start to see it.
Word up, LTER
Peter King is a douche. Who gives a fuck what he thinks!
Sorry Zerohead, you have no idea what you say, Cruz stood up for something! He is a sane voice in the fucked up world in DC. We knew he could not win, but he showed just how incalcitrant the fucking Dems are, no negotiating with the communists, fuck them.
We will be right back here in Jan/Feb anyway, this solves NOTHING!
Ocare has to go, just like Ozero has to go, and all of the Progressives, left and right...throw the bums out!
I guess his song and dance worked on you. Funny how it accomplished jack shit other than cementing his next election win and he's now doing nothing to stop the train (he still could but he won't), but you still think he's a hero because of what he says regardless of what he does. Sorry to say it, but so long as guys like you keep voting for guys like him even after what we've just witnessed, we're screwed.
Hey Rand, go ahead and point at me, three fingers are pointing right back at ya. And for the record, people like you who vote for Ozero, are they any better?
What should the republicans do, just cave? I guess so according to you. they voiced their opposition, and will continue to do so until Ozerocare is fixed or repealed. Ozerocare will be a boondogle my friend, just you wait and see.
At least some Repuglicans want to cut spending, where most if not all Demoncrats want to keep the status quo...to hell with that!
This thing ain't over by a long shot.
BTW, he is no hero to me, no politician is at this point, quite the opposite.
I don't take what you say as offensive, so no worries, your entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is, hehe....
I voted for Obama the first time around because I believed some of what he said like ending the spying and the wars and I mistakenly thought he'd be better than McCain and that somehow it would be better to have shit sandwich instead of douchebag. I have since learned that it is all bullshit and will never vote R or D again. You are still listening to the bullshit and feeding the machine by voting for these guys. I was mistaken to believe in either Team and I admit it. When you're ready, the first step is to admit you have a Team problem.
Oh no, don't go there my friend, I don't take a blue or red pill. I am no longer a Regpuglican, just a conservative, but if someone stands up for some sanity I will give them a golf clap.
Is there ANYONE sane enough to run this country, after 55 years of life, I am beginning to think not. They are are a sorry bunch of idoelogues, with no real interest in what the people think. and the the people, sheesh, more like sheeple, IMHO, they are worse than the pols, too stupid to see what is really going on...that is because the commies have indoctrinated and dumbed down Amerika through the uneducational system (for the most part).
No, the team thing turns me off right about now, problem is there is no other team with any ideas or guts either...Americka is headed for a wasteland, that much I can tell ya...unless things change BIG TIME!
The Republicans are what they are, but no opposition party has a chance as long as the Jew York Media parrot the commie party line all day every day. Fortunately, they are dying. Free speech and honest vote counts could solve many problems.
Stop making excuses for these fuckers! At the very least, you are excusing them from doing their jobs because they are more interested in being elected than in doing what they promised voters. But really it is far, far more than that. So long as people find excuses there will be no change.
A big problem is that politics just doesn't attract good people, it attracts politicians — the lowest form of human life. There are exceptions, of course, but they're so rare they prove the rule. That's why it's wise to attempt to limit government; not because humans are inherently evil, but because the people drawn to government usually are.
That said, the more we see of this circus, the more convinced I become that limited government is always at best a temporary phenomenon because control is always in the hands of the worst people society has to offer, and they will always work to increase their own power.
There are exceptions, of course
You mean like serial murders?
pedophiles and lawyers, too.
I figured that was part of "politician"
Turn in, turn off, drop out.
I see McConnell got his pork in the bill.

I see Ozero got to keep is pork in the bill too, and??? They all stink to high heaven dude!
Here's what these lying phucks are saying: Third Party- Third Party! - THIRD PARTY!!!
Libertarian Party
The Last Conference
By Jonathan Strong October 16, 2013 4:30 PMAt the last GOP conference meeting of the two-week government shutdown, no lawmakers went to the microphones to give their take.
Instead, after Speaker John Boehner told Republicans they had “fought the good fight,” they all rose up to offer a standing ovation. “It was one of the easiest meetings we’ve ever had,” says Representative Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina.
“I think he has strengthened his position in leadership,” Representative John Fleming says about Boehner. “He hung in there with us. He’s been reluctant to go to these fights and now that we have stood up and fought for our values and he’s been there with us, leading, I think his stock has risen tremendously. He has great security as our leader and our speaker.”
The message from Boehner and majority leader Eric Cantor was unity, with warnings not to point fingers of blame.
“Everyone in this room ran on the Republican ticket,” Cantor told colleagues.
“We all agree Obamacare is an abomination. We all agree taxes are too high. We all agree spending is too high. We all agree Washington is getting in the way of job growth. We all agree we have a real debt crisis that will cripple future generations. We all agree on these fundamental conservative principles. . . . We must not confuse tactics with principles. The differences between us are dwarfed by the differences we have with the Democratic party, and we can do more for the American people united,” he told them.
Walking out of the meeting to the throng of reporters, the conservatives kept to that script, but the moderates drew their knives out for the Right.
Representative Peter King of New York urged more Republican officials to speak up about Senator Ted Cruz and “condemn him for what he did.”
Representative Aaron Schock of Illinois said the lesson of the episode was that Boehner should cut out the far-right flank and work with centrist Democrats.
Most of the top conservatives who pushed the House GOP into an Obamacare fight weren’t very introspective, offering positive words about the fight and hope for victories to come.
One conservative, however, did say he had learned a valuable lesson.
“Don’t bite off more than you can chew,” said Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California.

"The FSA doesn't know what's about to hit them."
OK, I know that I am fairly new here (in comparison to some), but I am also an old guy and have trouble adapting to change (and hope, come to think of it). So, can I make a request of y'all? Whenever you mention FSA, I tend to think of the FSA. When referring to the Free Shit Army (vice the Financial Serives Authority in the UK) can we use "F$A" instead?
Thanks.
I like it, and will try to use F$A from now on.
DIVISION B—OTHER MATTERS
I moved everything out of NUGT and straight in to LBJ and TQQQ. Follow the signs. I'm already up $27k just this afternoon.
sure you did, but did you call or email your senator or rep?
My Senator is Dick Durbin (D-IL)... I wrote him 3 times this year. He always tells me that we agree to disagree.
Exactly. It's all a show, and if this farce over the past few weeks didn't open people's eyes, nothing will.
I'm done saying there's "one party" or that people are "trapped in the false Left-Right paradigm." At some point, you just have to be blunt and call these people morons if they still don't get it. There's no use sugar-coating it anymore.
In casual conversation, I will use the term "Demopublican." This is usually enough to get the gears grinding in someone's head.
I prefer Republocrat myself.
Today, after years of watching the two political parties do the exact same shit over and over again, it just boggles my mind that anyone with half a brain could think there there are actual good guys and bad guys in Washington. Normally intelligent people are parroting all the same stupid partisan talking points they read on the Huffington Post or Fox News and getting very angry at anyone who disagrees with their finger pointing game.
It is amazing what a bunch of dumb fucks the Americans are these days. How it is possible that people with IQs over 80 can live in the same world as you and I and still insist that there is any difference between Republicrats and Demlicans is beyond me. Believing in the Red Team Blue Team meme today shows the same critical thinking ability of a pro wrestling fan that insists that that shit is real.
http://www.singledudetravel.com/2013/10/just-in-american-are-such-retard...
I use "demicans and republocrats" together.
Eg: " The republocrats and the demicans all belong to the same oligarghic political party"
I use "mental asylem escapees."
I tend to refer to all of them as "Fucking Puppets".
I robbed mine from Deadwood, and still just call 'em "The Cocksuckers up in Yankton".
The thing is, my generation is only now becoming politically aware. Like in the last 18-24 months. And they have only known Obama (since starting paying attention to politics). And to them the entire spiel is quite convincing. They actually believe Obama and the Dems want to make everything better but the big bad Republicans are selfish and in the way (and also, misguided religious zealots, but thats another story, on another topic).
And to top it all off, if you criticize the Dems, they will start bashing the Republicans. When I say I'm not Republican and I believe there is only one party, they think its somehow a primitive, base understanding of politics, and I am lazy, and not paying attention.
Cognitive dissonance sure would be amusing, if it wasn't so infuriating.
Last night on the news, there was a segment about the "new center" in American politics, people who believe the government shouldn't be in our bedrooms or banning drugs AND (gasp!) who also believe the government is too large and spends too much money.
The reporter called these folks "pragmatic" and went to great pains not to point out the obvious, that these people are essentially libertarians-in-waiting. This country is ready to accept a major third party, but it remains to be seen whether we can survive that long.
Hopefully long enough to add a Constitutional amendment that purges the country of all federal, state and local statutes up to that point and start over from scratch.
Politically aware, as in you understand you dont make a shit of difference? TPTB control everything and you are a serf without a voice?
No, politically aware as in, they now follow political drama on TV, not just the celebrity drama and reality TV.
But its a crucial first step! Its difficult to explain to someone the corruption of Wall St, Washington DC, Obama, etc when their previous areas of expertise include Justin Bieber's dating history, Miley Cyrus' most recent Twitter battle, etc.
The first thing I mention to the friends of my sons is opensecrets.org. I tell them to look up who owns which ho.
Hey Mac - stop insulting morons.
Jesse Ventura/Howard Stern 2016! "Hey! They can't be any worse." Feel free to use my slogan.
That's quite a long bill. It's almost as if they had this thing crafted months ago. sarc
Yeah, they had it stuck in the same drawer they pulled the Patriot Act and Obamacare out of. You do NOT want to see the rest of the bills in that dusty old drawer.
Latest Shutdown Report: “The owners of the Bonnie Doon ice cream plant in Elkhart, Indiana told Fox 28 that they are closing it down because of Obamacare. There are other factors, they say, such as the declining economy and the rise in production costs. But they said the number one reason was the anticipated costs of Obamacare.”
READ THE BILL
There be pork in there.... 175k for lautenbergs widow etc......
KUDOS to Tyler for publishing it.
Fucking senators...some day...
175k for Lautenberg's widow? That's more Federal money than Frank returned to NJ the whole time he was alive.
/sarc of course
The corporate lobbyists that write all legislation weren't on paid vacation.
I'm so piss drunk right now I want to wuit drinking for good and give all the otherwise money to defeat boehner even if an osamabama caricature was running against him.
I just wrote that pussy and told him exactly that
lol.
Would someone tell thes fuck asses that 911 was an inside job..and while we are at it tell them that al queda works for us? If they dont believe it just look at the paychecks.
They are talking about loss of miranda rights...Let all see the NDAA!
Id love to lock Boehner to the inside of a gorilla cage, after the gorillas have had viagra shakes. Belushi ;)
I was on there liking the ones hating on him :-P
The comments on his page, in the thousands, are hilarious!
This will be a voice vote right? No better way to shuck accountability.
Any "Present" votes?
why vote? - we appear to live in a dictatorship
Even Saddam required voting. I still recall the election where he received 100% of the public vote.
But he had charisma...
and a 9mm.
And a bitchin uniform.
and a statue.
"Deem it passed" already, like Obamacare!
Some of us are mad at him everywhere, not just online ...
Oh give me a break...It's all Bullshit!!!
Again with this default BULLSHIT??? I want a goddamn senator to go on the floor and say YOU SAY DEFAULT? I SAY BULLSHIT!! Default means not paying interest on the debt! We have PLENTY OF INCOME to pay for that! IF we default on the debt, it's because the TREASURY chose it that way!! And if they were to do that, they should end up in PRISON FOR LIFE for doing it.
Not raising the debt ceiling means THIS AND ONLY THIS... We cannot borrow money anymore... that means NO DEFICIT.
So if you vote to raise the debt ceiling, you are voting for MORE DEFICIT SPENDING.
So if you want to REALLY fuck the US over, vote to raise the debt ceiling, otherwise, tell all the liars here, in the medias, in the house and at the WH to go fuck themselves.
People are sick of congress spending money we don't have!!
And you know this money was spent soooo yesterday.
It's already gone.. Been gone.
Hey, when Janet gets fired up, they're going to be doing this every quarter, but it is certain that the debt ceiling will be abolished by that time. It has to be, this cannot continue through Barry's term since the initial ramp up needs to be in the 115 range to maintain current, which cranks the screws on the timer between debt crises, you know, the manufactured debt crises both parties manufacture..
The repubs should have put in a rider: That debt interest will be paid first. They could say they want it so that people dont live in fear, market stability or what the fuck. Get it to pass. Then on the next debt celing, they can call the bluff.
Im not for paying the debt, fuck the FED.Repealling a pay-the-debt statute will be easy in a SHTF situation.
unfortunately it will 99.9999 percent go through, but the amount i would give up for this to fall apart would be a lot.
it would just be so amazing to see this somehow fall through, and everyone across the globe panic at once.
i know it will not happen tonight, but if it did, it would be a financial orgasm
Im still betting something goes wrong in the house.
If I was a Senator id filibuster until we defaulted.
i really hope you are right, but bohener already said he wont reject any bill that is passed, and even guys like cruz said they would not fillibuster.
it fucking sucks, default would be the best thing for this country in the long term. all they are doing now is pushing it off.
however, my question is, why can they not just continue pushing it off forever? is there actually a time that they must come to a long term solution?
Yes. That will be when the US loses its reserve currency status. At that point, we are beyond fucked.
Ahhhh, the smell of freshly roasted pork, wafting high again in the halls of CONgress...
Want Cheaper Healthcare? Just Make Less Money | Money Morning | Oct 15, 2013
Over the weekend, the San Francisco Chronicle delivered a stunning message that discourages and demotivates American workers from earning more income and promotes greater government dependency.
It's all thanks to sloppy incentives created by the Affordable Healthcare Act.
The Chronicle reported that Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said last week that workers in California should consider reducing their 2014 income and work hours in order to qualify for Obamacare subsidies.
"If they can adjust (their income), they should," said Pollitz. "It's not cheating, it's allowed."
For a California family to fall under the 400% of poverty-level ceiling (the threshold to qualify for government assistance), the family's net income must be at or below $62,040. However, if they make just $1 more than this amount, they will not qualify for thousands of dollars in public assistance to purchase healthcare.
Earning $62,041 would trigger a massive increase in taxes and cost of healthcare premiums for the family.
In progressive terms, that amounts to a loss of a subsidy worth more than $10,000 each year for a family of four.
http://moneymorning.com/2013/10/15/want-cheaper-healthcare-just-make-less-money/
Great example of the law of unintended consequences!
-If they can adjust their income (downward), they should, said Pollitz. It's not cheating, it's allowed.-
The soft, federal bigotry, of lowering the working stiffs expectations of their life and disposable income. Not to mention the "progressives" love affair with higher federal & state tax reciepts has just gotten slammed into the rocks of their reality.
Fucking idiots had it all figgered out again, cept they don't...lol.
Back to the drawing board!
The hole is getting deeper. This is going to end Magnificently one day. Fuck I hope it's in my life time, I want to see it.......
Hopefully I'll be in a care facility with a self-administered morphine drip so I can enjoy watching it unfold - then drift off into the great beyond tapping the "more morphine" button when the food stops coming and they won't be there to resuscitate me.
You'll need to have bribed your caring RN to ignore the prescribed lock-out period on the PCA syringe driver. There will be a maximum hourly dose, and a maximum 24 hour dose set.
Find out whose brand of PCA Syringe Driver your "chosen facility" uses, and get hold of the user manual. If "Site Policy" requires the programmed device to be in a locked case, arrange to have a key of your own, or at least a means to force the lock / latch; a standard electrician's screwdriver is quite strong enough . . . . . .
Costs very little to "plan ahead", especially for important "end of life" issues.
Yes.. it is part of the plan.

Can't believe HollyD.C.wood hasn't remade it - too close to the bone perhaps?
You can't blame him, not a bad way to go considering - just keep me warm, a full stomach, a couple of Xanax and endless morphine. Goodbye fellow monkeys...best of luck...zzzzzzzz
Can't these fucks write bills with NORMAL LANGUAGE and stop the lawyer bullshit?? I mean, how in the hell can someone understand one of these bills when they cite dozens of other US laws and codes? This is ridiculous.
Just do a freaking simple bill :
This bill funds government at levels from the 2014 budget and raises the debt ceiling till February 7. Obama can then raise the debt ceiling by himself to THE MOON unless stopped by congress if they vote 2/3 against it.
There is a full abdication of congressional power in this bill...
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
Default Prevention Act of 2013...so goooood
Allows continued funding and Congress strips itself of it's ability to withhold funding (House strips itself of power of pursestrings...amazing)
"Default Prevention"
I know! Lets make declaring default ILLEGAL! Problem solved!
Wait, what? Are you serious?
I don't understand why they even have pieces of paper in the screenshot shown on the senate floor. What the hell could possibly be needed for some lady or dude to act like any paper they are scurrying about with is important or meaningful? It's all done by computers and HFT right!?
BTW they lost me at 'procurement' then again I can't recall the last time anyone said that word to me or I actually procured anything, perhaps some Skoal Straight Longcut at the corner shop, would that be procurement?
You obviously have never worked in the military industrial complex. Acquisition managers and contracting officers are the procurement guys who fork out the (taxpayers' and taxpayers' progeny's) green stuff. These words are part of a sort of "thieves' cant" vocabulary that all those feeding from the trough implicitly understand...
Actually if you had a buddy that was good at forging leave papers or medical clinic notes then you were golden. If it's on paper it's true kinda mentality. I may still have some of the forms on a computer somewhere. Took an inch worth of paper just to do a school drop and get out early, I got familiar with printing out forms/docs that needed to be signed by literally every asshole up, down and around my chain of command.
Those are the; I love you, Nancy thinks you're hot, You're cute, Boehner wants to Boehner Nancy, for a good time call Diane at the orofice, Mitch like to pitch....
You know, all the serious stuff makes the world go round.
Procurement was Cap "The Ladle" Weinbergers favorite word on how to save money at the DoD in the 1980's.
You know, like on the $300 screwdrivers and $600 toilet seats.
"Default Prevention Act of 2013"
Section 3101(b) of title 31,United States Code (debt limit), shall not apply for the period beginning on the date on which the President submits to Congress a certification under subsection (b) and ending on February 7, 2014. (or not)
The relationship between a doctor and a patient should be built on trust and mutual respect. The doctor must trust the patient to follow his or her orders, and the patient must trust the doctor to give him or her the best possible care. The patient must respect the doctor's opinions and recommendations, while the doctor must respect the patient's personal needs and beliefs. To build and maintain this mutual level of trust and respect, doctors and patients must adhere to a certain level of confidentiality. Individuals must be encouraged to seek medical assistance or advice without any hindrance, fear, or concern that their rights will be violated or personal information will be disclosed to anyone.
During a medical examination, a doctor requires a lot of personal information from the patient to properly form a diagnosis of the patient's health. The doctor may form his own opinion about the patient based on the information received and assessment made. The doctor, though, no matter what he or she assumes, must maintain patient confidentiality on all medical records, including patient's x-rays, lab work and reports. The physician must communicate with the patient and staff concerning illness, symptoms and diagnosis, and must ensure that everyone understands the necessity of keeping everything inside the doctor's office.
You will be getting a lot of non-medical questions at your doctor visit under Obamacare, people living in your house, income, how many guns you own, have your answers ready true or not (hesitation will be reported).
I'm really quite surprised that NOW hasn't been on the mall chanting "Keep your laws off my body!".
I'm sure it was just an oversight and they'll be there any day now.
I don't see any number in terms of what the debt ceiling is raised to like 17 trillion. Are they just saying that they can spend what they want until Feb 7th? My guess is that we are already over 17 trillion and they don't want people to freak out and go up to 18 trillion.
well, everyone was claiming that the EBT with no limit was a TEST RUN.
and the results were that everyone loaded up the cart and walked right out the fucking front door.
broad daylight.
Nothing like a lot of drama and partisan wrangling with a countdown and "breaking news" flashes to make people feel alive in a dying insane society of sophisticated baboons.
NEWS FLASH: Obama takes a walk
there, means so much more coming from me....
Tylers,
Why would you post the bill for us to read? I guarantee they didn't.
Sarcastically?,
Darksky
Why the theater? Government will reopen? What the fucking parks? Really, 17% was shut down [they claimed] and the big deal was trying to keep people from LOOKING at Mount Rushmore?
I really is Revolution Time. Pass due, actually.
One thing for certain: any deal in CONgress will screw the common people-again.
I thought the House voted on the Senate deal then it went to the Senate. Of course, it would pass the Senate, because it was their deal unless it was changed by the house. What a dang mess.
Luanne: Okay, Kirk, I'll tell a story. It's about a man whose father-in-law gave him a sweet job as manager of a cracker factory.
Homer: Bo-ring.
Luanne: A man whose complete lack of business sense and managerial impotence...
Homer: Ooh, here we go!
Luanne: ...sent the number one cracker factory in town into a tie for 6th with "TableTime" and "Allied Biscuit."
[Marge hides a box of "Allied Biscuit"]
A delay of ~13miniutes? WTF?
So now what will be the excuse for the untaper?
So your butt slams shut?
IMPEACH THEM ALL
What am I watching right now?
Something about captured terrorists?
Dude's senile, I reckon.
Debt-ceiling bill funds Kentucky dam project to ire of McConnell foes October 16, 2013, 6:44 PMThe legislation on raising the debt ceiling and funding the government is out. And there’s some interesting items tucked in.
Here’s some dry language from the legislation:
What’s that? Turns out, the dry language is quite wet: it’s a dam project along the Ohio River, in Kentucky. Click here for a favorable write-up from the Kentucky Corn Growers Association.
Hmm, who negotiated the bill? Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, of course, but also Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — of Kentucky.
That’s got some on the right fired up.
“It’s the Kentucky Kickback,” says this post from the Senate Conservatives Fund. “In exchange for funding Obamacare and raising the debt limit, Mitch McConnell has secured a $2 billion earmark. This is an insult to all the Kentucky families who don’t want to pay for Obamacare and don’t want to shoulder any more debt.”
The SCF has tangled quite a bit with McConnell, and it’s expected to endorse Matt Bevin in the Republican primary in Kentucky next year.
Hey Tyler , any comments ? In my opinion when the house sees this there is no way they are passing the bill .So McConnell brings home the bacon that the people of Kentucky don't want.
I'm sending blevins some money right now.
What are the House Tea Party Republicans saying at this time? Anything about this?
Okay fella's, O/T, but what is the educational paradigm called, umm, I can't think of the fucking name...elementrious coitus or something like that...help. I saw a very interesting presentation by a woman on this subject.
He should have slid in wearing sunglasses, in his underwear.
resign asshole
Dear Tylers
video and comment stream don't work very well
suggestion box
provide a link to the video such that it opens in a separate window
i cant watch this shit
Cruz you are scum
My banner headline:
The Boner Detumesces
I suggest subtlety here: "Boehner detumesces"
Cruz gives a cave in speech, keep trying folks, in the meantime, I'm caving in.
What a Canadian Cunt. He is a bigger Decepti-Con than Newton Gingrich.
Oh, pumpkinhed shummer, D-Israel is up.
Ted Cruz, on cruise control, speaking to a empty chamber, needs to be strapped to a cruise missle, and detonated, high over the plains of West Texas...
Schumer you're so full of shit!
Watching these speeches, I can say something for sure: at least America isn't viewed as a laughingstock.
That was a joke.
I'm sad to say Cruz and Shumerr, both dual nationals, one canadian, one israeli, have US as the other nation.
Can we send them back home to get laughs there?
"America, default or not, we are going to continue to sell off our holdings of your debt. Just make good on your interest payments until then so that we can continue to horde bullion. Thanks."

what a bunch of self serving POS lowlife lawyer thieves-----ok thats my rant----whew, feel better-- think I'll watch a beheading on newsfilter.org before heading off to bed wishing sweet dreams will come true.
No quorum there or what ? hamburger break ?
"No quorum there or what ?"
Yup, and it's funny that so many had slipped out during the ultra-dry voting on changing the name of the bill and altering some wording in the bi-cameral committee. i wonder if some of the more 'cerebral" of the bunch thought that they had already cast the "important" vote and went home? Almost like buying bankrupt Tweeter shares when you thought you were jumping the gun on Twitter?
hamburger break ?
The ones that are MIA went across the street to the bar to get a snoot full of their preferrred substance.
Just think, if they had to pass a breathalyzer & pee in a cup before voting, then nothing would ever pass. (and we would be better off.)
I am not surprised frankly I am disappointed............
that they didn't wait until 2 minutes to midnight before caving. I really thought they would extend the shit show a little further. And as usual compromise means everyone gets their pork which is all they really wanted in the first place. Bunch of corrupt whores the whole lot of them.
I swear they had a lady selling ice creams there!
What do all these people do - really?
What use do they serve?
Wait a minute, was she the fluffer?
Somebody has to prep them before they go on camera. Just suprised it was a woman and not a man.
Oh, God - it's mine on now. Damn her sneakers.
Dang, you have an actual communist. Sorry.
Hey Moe - nyuck nyuck nyuck
We're fucked
