WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner is signaling that he'll move must-do legislation to increase the government's borrowing cap before he leaves Capitol Hill.

The statutory cap on the government's so-called debt limit needs to be raised by early November, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday, confirming a recent warning from the administration.

Boehner is a stinking rat! He should share a bed with Fruitcake.

Too bad we can't take away the pension and perks from ALL Congressrats, but especially from Boehner and McConnell, both traitors and super rich on our backs!

There will be no end to the trillions in debt!

I'm sure more than one GOP congressman has done this. Lots of toe tapping in bathroom stalls among the GOPe.

One more for good measure, eh Johnny? Thanks a lot.

John-boy better hope there’s no such thing as karma.

How about America brings back businesses to America, and we are once again responsible?

Just a thought.

I don’t know who Fruitcake is but I certainly agree with your sentiment.

It’s Tar And Feather time as far as I’m concerned.

He should have both knee caps broken.

Congress doesn’t want to do its Job of making tough decisions and so lets get this guy that never did his job to do the job of not doing it again before he leaves so the new Speaker doesn’t have to do his job either,

Obama smiles approvingly,

Fruitcake is just another endearing term for the Muslim in the White Hut.

Elections, with few exceptions, are rather like a crap game.

I will put my money on a Trump/Cruz ticket!

[samtheman]

I didn’t know that one. Thanks.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Of course he is.

That’s what he does.

[VerySadAmerican]

Boner made himself a lame duck so he could get away with this. And all the conservatives fell for it. They should have removed him at once.

[VerySadAmerican]

Hastert is getting a good dose of karma.

[EternalVigilance]

That deadline is now in question after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., dropped out of the race to replace Boehner, leaving no obvious successor other than a reluctant Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who is keeping his cards close to his vest.

If that sentence doesn't anger you, you're not paying much attention to how these people are now operating.

Have an election. Don't get what you want? Change all the rules and start over. And make sure you rig the election better next time to make sure you get the Benedict Arnold you want.

He is in obongo’s pocket, every bit as loyal as pelosi was.

[HomerBohn]

“He let me fly on Air Force One and let me lick his popsicle.”

[Arm_Bears]

Boner will do this all by himself, eh?

It’s not like he has to get a majority of 434 other individuals in the House to go along with him?

[Joe Boucher]

Eat pooh and die there Johnny boy.

[ryan71]

Yet, he has no idea why we want him gone.
