[Citizen Zed]

Conservatives in the House rebelled against their leadership on Thursday to scuttle an emergency spending measure that addressed the migrant crisis at the southern border, pushing the issue to a showdown on Friday as lawmakers prepared to leave for a five-week recess. The unexpected turmoil offered a coda to the dysfunction that has gripped the Capitol for much of the year.

Go ahead Obama, make our day!

The New York Times’ reporters and Editors and owners
have taken in thousands of the infected “children”
into their own homes. And another thousand into their
neighbors’ homes.

AND they have personally tithed 30% of their
salary to the “children”.

Attention NY Slimes: Harry Reid has 360 bills passed by the house, many bipartisan like Keystone Pipeline sitting on his desk at this very moment, that he REFUSES to even bring to the Senate floor for debate. Say again, who is doing nothing?

Resisting bad ideas is not a dysfunction. That's what they are supposed to do.
If the situation was reversed politically, they would not use that language.

This is ancient history.

Right. Any time conservatives stop bad legislation it is because of “dysfunction.” Any time Liberal Dems do it its because they are standing on principle.

"The unexpected turmoil"?

Good grief, this should not be a surprise to anyone not existing in a state of rectal defilade.
