Congress avoids government shutdown (Planned Parenthood wins again thanks to Boehner)

Just seven hours before federal agencies ran out of money, the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill funding the federal government through Dec. 11.

The measure, which comes hours after the Senate passed a spending bill of its own, will now go to President Barack Obama's desk and averts a government shutdown.

The bill was approved 277 to 151, with House Democrats providing most of the votes in favor. Many conservatives wanted to use the bill to defund Planned Parenthood after edited videos released by an anti-abortion group purportedly showed officials talking about the sale of fetal tissue. The group denied any illegal activity, and the bill approved on Wednesday will continue federal money for Planned Parenthood....

They're going to miss boner.

[mulligan]

Politicians are ignorant, corrupt and incompetent. And the nation slides deeper into the cesspool of disaster.

[mojito]

As reported, the Nancy & Johnny fix was in.

[Don Corleone]

We are just one election away from losing it all .

[ealgeone]

Hate to break it to you but it’s over.

[ealgeone]

Which gops voted in favor?

[VerySadAmerican]

Yep. The entire house votes for speaker. McCarthy will be elected by democrats. The conservatives should pull the rug out from under the rinos by announcing they’re going to vote for Pelosi. Then the rinos will see how quickly the democrats drop them and run to Nancy.

Active Duty ping.

[old curmudgeon]

A testament to the charcter of our congress critters.

Politicians put their fingers to the wind....prolife just aint big and scary enough to side with yet

[Gritty]

Whew! Thank goodness we avoided another government shutdown!! How would we have survived it?

Of course the treacherous Congress had to fund Planned Butcherhood fully with out tax dollars to do it but,... hey,... you have to break a few eggs to make a good omelet, right?

McArthy voted yes as well. We will be stuck with him for many years.

A clever strategy. ;-)

Boehner was sooo close to getting planned parenthood this time.

It wasn't just the speaker it was the dim’s and pubbies that passed funding for baby butchering. I heard some Midwestern Congress critter saying essentially they avoided a government shutdown and that the people want the government working, not shutdown and that is what they delivered. I wonder what goes through their mindless heads.
