FYI as you catch up on last night.
Well, at least the Cherry Blossom Festival in the District of Corruption was able to go off without a hitch today. Hopefully, the trillions of Americans flooding to our National Parks and the Smithsonian this morning won’t encounter any significant hangups.
Game, set, match.
Great point!
And there are some in FR that think these same “leaders” are going work hard and Push Ryan’s cuts? PAAHHLLEEAASSEE!
The GOP has once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Boehner WINS BIG!!!!!!!!....

This amounts to any of us bringing our own lunch to work one day out of the month instead of going to a fast food restaurant. It doesn’t mean spit. And Planned Pre-emptive Infanticide, NPR and other parasite’s doors are still open.
As usual, the f’n GOP caved.
At least Planned parenthood can continue reducing the Rat Base. Think of the Welfare money saved by a mere 75 million a year investment.
If the Repubs can keep this up by doing the same next year (keep cutting a little at a time), we’re in business. Hey, the sliced salami approach works for the Dems, why not us?
But this wasn’t “the” budget. This was about what happens between now and, first of all, five days from now and then the rest of the fiscal year (i.e., until the end of September).
It was a $$78.5 Billion haircut from Obama’s budget request for THIS fiscal year (cleaning up the mess made by Rats not passing a budget last year). And we still have the debt ceiling issue coming up and Paul Ryan’s real budget for the future to go.
I don’t see it as a defeat.

You know how to whistle, don’t you, John? Just put your lips together. And blow.
Me too. This is entirely on obama/Reid/Pelosi
LLS
Agreeing to a $38B (or whatever it is depending on how you squint at it) “cut” isn’t a win, it isn’t a compromise; in light of the >$1500B deficit, it’s outright surrender with a vapid face-saving clause.
WE.
DON’T.
HAVE.
THE.
MONEY.
SHUT.
IT.
DOWN.
I commented here the other day that Boehner had gone from no balls to maybe bb sized ones.
They are shrinking.
This “deal” doesn’t mean squat and makes me damned glad I’m old. I feel sorry for anyone below 40. I seriously doubt you have a clue as to the future. Maybe I won’t be around.
IMHO, there’s no one “of weight” in DC really interested in avoiding the coming catastrophe.
I dont see it as a defeat.

With all due respect, I think you’re missing the point.
The starting figure was cutting $100 Billion. We ended up caving to only cutting $38 Billion with essentially no action on EPA and Plannd Parenthood.
If they caved this badly on this, what in Heaven’s name makes you think they’ll have the onions to fight for Ryans 6 Trillion in cuts? Seriously, We’re all waiting with baited breath for you to tell us the great confidence we should have with the likes of Boehner and McConnell??
(Crickets.....)
Yea missing the festival would just have been unimaginable
Yeah, and the liar in chief and his ugly wife got to go on vacation again, we can't forget the important stuff.
