Do not expect our leaders to stop the bribery, which they call campaign contributions, and entitlement programs.

Bribery is an act of giving money or gift giving that alters the behavior of the recipient. Bribery constitutes a crime and is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.

That will never stop until there are at least three or more viable political parties.

GOP never learned how to negotiate when you have a gun to your head...

My other favorite negotiation clip..

I know, right? 

 

"Because the president has refused to negotiate, thereby attempting to usurp the power vested in the House of Representatives by the United States Constitution to raise revenues, this government is dysfunctional.  Accordingly, the House of Representatives will be on recess until Monday, November 4, 2013 or until the President has a change of heart and is willing to negotiate in good faith.  Go home and spend some quality time with your friends and families."

 

Not that I think that's what they should have done, but fuck, if you're going the brinkmanship game, at least do it right.  The best way to stop the other guy from calling your bluff is to not be bluffing.  If I have to live through this kabuki theater, I would at least like to be entertained.

And Harry Reid calling up his cronies to Fitchslap the Republicans into place. Beautiful screenwriting. Of course we all knew how this was going to go down in the end. All these movies are exactly the same. So predictable.

Wait, shit, this was supposed to be real life? It sure looked like a tired old Whodunit. We knew it would have to end this way, because their timeslot was almost over on the TV. We've got American Idol coming on next, so they needed to get the hell out of the way.

Fucking motherfuckers with not a single testicle among them. And Obama looks like a genius here. Abso-fucking-lute genius. It takes a real fuck-up to make the TOTUS look like he is above retarded stage. To make him look like a genius takes someone in vegetative state. Not a single one of those Republican fuckers knows a damn thing about game theory. Hell, why can't I get assholes like that in the weekly poker game? And why is my fucking language deteriorating? Oh yeah...I'm living in the Wal-Mart nation. Damn osmosis taking over...somebody else introduce me to some new swear words. I could swear in French but it always seems such a pansy thing when you say their pussy swear words.

Actually, I didn't know how it was going to turn out. I was betting on a 13th hour deal rather than an 11th hour deal.  I suppose there is still time for me to be right, but, nope, I didn't know how it was going to turn out.  It's tough to know just how much drama Congress is going to bring to the table at any given time.

Dupe from previous thread , but it fits here, too.:

I think this was originally posted on Grant Williams site, but regardless, it has to make you go hmmm..

“I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years.  During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc.  It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way.  The simplest request takes months not days or hours.

 In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown.  There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years.  These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded.  The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.

 This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago.”

Apparently the senate bill allows a automatic debt calling increase in April unless congress votes it down and Obama signs on it (that’s not going to happen) so did Obama just win the checkbook of America and congress relinquish its power to the executive?

Is Obama one step closer to dictatorial power?

I wouldn't go that far, I'm sure those cowards in Congress but some expiration date of Sept 2014 on it, so they can look like tough guys again, right before the big elections for the House!

But yes, Bammer wins again, are you ready for a political party that has in its platform, YOUR principles, or is your asshole not raw enough yet from the GOP illusion???

It is now safe to assume that Boehner has guaranteed himself removal as Speaker, provided the GOP retains its majority in 2014 - which it most likely will.

Bawlin' John sees the intraparty handwriting on the wall, and will either announce his disinclination for re-appointment as Speaker ( to preclude suffering a humiliatiing defeat ), or, more likely, retire to a private life of tanning beds and Chivas.

i wonder where the IQ cluster resides, among those who really buy the histrionics of GOP congressman whose goal is to shut down the government, but who then protest the shutdown. My guess would be right around 100-105 level.

Deutch should show them the US Citizen Wheel of Mis-Fortune.  This wheel is ALWAYS correct.  It has two items on it:

  1. US Taxpayers
  2. US Dollar

Spin the wheel to see exactly who or what the Dems and Reps will steal wealth from.
