Matt Drudge says spending bill passed because NSA has 'dirt' on John Boehner

Matt Drudge of the influential Drudge Report news aggregation site expressed discontent over a federal spending bill that passed with votes from both Republicans and Democrats in the House.

The $1.1 trillion spending bill that runs through September 2015 is now up for a vote in the Democratically-led Senate. Many conservatives, including Drudge, are upset that the bill funds both Obamacare and President Obama's immigration executive orders.

"Obama got EVERYTHING," Drudge tweeted Friday. "NSA dirt on Boehner must be incredible. Chicago wins."

Why doesn’t Drudge just print the dirt on Bone-head.

That was they can’t blackmail him anymore.

We need to think good and hard about the difference between the letter of the law and the differences between right and wrong. We have been a country of legal positivists for too long now.

[OKSooner]

Haven’t read the whole thread, but... I assume he didn’t say WHAT dirt?

[Nifster]

or he is just a dumb drunk who likes the power he thinks he has

Release it NSA, quit being pussies and lets see what our tax dollars bought for your shiny toys...c’mon now...

Serious question, I wonder if the NSA (current) employee’s expect to remain employee’s with this (administrations) crowd once the coup is complete. I’m betting they will be surprised and wondering how “fate” went against them soon...too bad, so sad; you had your chance spooks.

Dirty politics is what Obama knows best.

---

It was dirty politics that won him the U.S. Senate from IL. He was getting buried by the Republican candidate by the name of Jack Ryan. Good, solid, conservative, successful businessman and lawyer. Also had JFK good looks. But Obama’s team, via the Tribune, got a F.O.I.A. on Ryan’s sealed divorce records that revealed some steamy things between his ex-wife and him. Unfortunately, the IL GOP threw him under the bus and called in the carpetbagger, Alan Keyes, to run. We know what happened after that.

How does it explain McConnell and all the other ruling class Republicans who have been selling out the American people for years?

The answer is in your question.

[fr_freak]

I don’t see it on the website; likely a rumor.

The article excerpt said it was something he tweeted, and it seemed like he was just surmising.

Check out article.

Sorry to hear there have not been rumblings of a serious contender against Boehner. Maybe after Friday’s vote there will be a revolt. (I wish)

[Robert357]

If the administration is blackmailing Congress that is far worse than using the IRS to go after enemies.

I pray that anyone in government asked to do something so evil as blackmail Congress turn whistle blower.

I did a yahoo search for pictures of me. I was shocked. There are pictures of that I KNOW I never posted.

Whoa.....I just found the same result for myself.

Damn...

[Dick Bachert]

Like they NEEDED it. This clown folds up like a cheap suitcase.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, I wish that would take place as well. Boehner is unfit to lead. It’s one thing to be touchy feelie, but when you take it as far as he has, you can’t really be taken serious during negotiations. The guy folks more often than a folding chair.

[Kenny Bunk]

Boehner is a Condit.

> We need to think good and hard about the difference between the letter of the law and the differences between right and wrong. We have been a country of legal positivists for too long now.

Agreed. The Left is taking advantage of the complacency and passiveness of the right and are expanding their terroritories and intrusion into our lives because of lack of pushback. They mistakenly believe that there will be no consequences or actions by the right more than mere words, grumbles, or complaints made to the very people they are now the puppetmasters thereof. I think that’s about to change.

[VerySadAmerican]

Scary, huh? They’ve got every word you ever typed on a computer whether you posted it or not. They’ve got every picture you’ve ever downloaded. And you are now “connected” to every person you ever posted to or sent an email to or posted on a blog or website. On my “picture page” there are pictures of people I had very brief encounters with.

I remember back in the early 90s it was pretty well accepted, to those who paid attention, that cable TV was “two way”. I believe the internet is, too. If you’re computer is “connected”, nothing on it is private.

If you pay your bills on line, or even if you just keep track of your banking online, they could drain every account anytime they want.

People think I should get some tinfoil. I would if I thought it would work.

The sad thing is we all volunteered for it. We all had to have a cell phone. We all had to have cable. We all had to be on the world wide web. Now we’re all so dependent on it that we can’t get off. And that’s what they wanted.

[Windflier]

my “picture page”

Are you referring to the images on your search results - or is that some other page?

[LookingUp]

If boener is being blackmailed then he should step down for the good of the country. Only a bad man would hang on under those circumstances.

[Swordmaker]

On every Republican they have dirt. There’s no question that Boehner is three feet deep in it.

Not every Republican. . . why do you think the old guard Republican leadership was told to pull out all the stops on anyone new coming in? None of the new Tea Party people were in those 1600 FBI files on every in-office and potential Republican Hillary had shipped over to the White House during Bill's terms. The new guy's wouldn't be so controllable.
