I read that of the 230,000 DHS employees, 200,000 would be considered essential and kept on the job. The remaining, lucky 30,000, would not work or be paid ... but would receive back pay once the budget was authorized. I bet they are rooting for a shutdown, which for them is a paid vacation.
Washington is out of control.
And imagine there are still posters on FR that thought Boehner was showing that he had some b*lls (courage) even as savvy FR Conservatives responded that Boehner would cave as he always does and as he always intended to.
Since more than a year ago Conservatives have been warning that Boehner and McConnell needed to be taken out because of exactly what is happening today.
They are desperate to get an amnesty, any amnesty, by any means, through. Once the dyke is breached it is Katy bar the door.
I no longer care and eagerly await a coup by our military...the ONLY govt group out there with integrity.
I wonder where all the lessor than evil posters who were so RAH RAH
for the GOP majorities have gone?
Can’t determine whether the GOP is being murdered by its leaders or is simply commiting suicide.
McConnell lied when he said he would apply the nuclear option to legislation if Reid invoked.
Mitch McConnell is a goddamned spineless degenerate liar.
GO NUCLEAR AND LET THE MUSLIM COMMUNIST FAGGOT HOMOSEXUAL USURPER IN THE WHITE HOUSE VETO “DHS” FUNDING.
Hard times coming strong.
wow, its like Pelosi and Reid are still majority leaders!
Before the internet, the kinds of shenanigans McConnell and Boehner are engaged in would pass with few people knowing that they had been sold out.
Now, gutless wonders like McConnell and Boehner have to maneuver, and sometimes twist themselves into pretzels, to try to convince the base that they are conservative fighters.
With the free flow of information, however, the spotlight is on these traitors and we all know they are just a different flavor of the One Big Government Party. No one but the lowest of low information Republican voters have any trust in these “leaders”.
One thing is for sure, the deadbeat Republicans are consistent. From the moment they refused to challenge the usurper’s fraudulent entry into the WH, the fix has been in. They have been conducting a film flam on the American people for all these years. There is nothing to look forward to in Washington anymore but more betrayal. God help us.
John Boehner= Parasite, no, whore, on parade.
