Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., gathered his 12 subcommittee chairmen together to discuss next steps for the fiscal 2016 appropriations process that has ground to a halt on Capitol Hill with just 15 scheduled legislative days left to avert a government shutdown in September....House Democrats are rebelling against sequester caps, while Senate Democrats have filibustered consideration of any appropriations bill on their chamber floor. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has threatened vetoes of every spending measure that adheres to the lower spending levels. ...Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., said his takeaway from Wednesday’s meeting was that appropriations cardinals should just “be ready to draft bills at whatever the number, whenever the time comes...

Still batting 1.000
FOX is reporting the GOP announced this evening they’re all done celebrating the big historic Republican wins last year, and now they’re ready to get down to business.
Watch out...The adults are back!
Ping to my fellow Captains for the latest exciting episode of the ongoing action adventure serial;...
“THEY SAW THE OBVIOUS!”
In today’s exciting episode, Team Obvious sits in knowing silence as millions of Americans ponder why the Lesser Evils, Controlled by Rainbowman, partake in another act of liberalism. Millions flail about cluelessly searching for an answer. A sigh...anything that could explain the baffling conundrum!
But our wiley band of heroes know... they know because through supernatural powers and snazzy superhero spandex....
THEY SAW THE OBVIOUS!
But. But. But. The GOP promised us, if we voted them into the majority, there would be no more of this brinkmanship crap with the appropriations and spending. They told us, they being adults would pass a budget and stick to it. They told us.....ah shit, they told us the usual lies and like fools, we believed them.
It is a simple fact.
Our government was designed to be run by “The People”.
“The People” are represented in the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives control the purse strings.
Without agreement from the House, the whole thing grinds to a stop.
Who is this ‘we’ you speak of? Some of us obama loving America haters warned of exactly EVERYTRHING the GOP has done.
The RINOs need more campaign money to beat the conservatives in their primaries- no one’s smart enough to run conservatives against them in the general election- so they HAVE to dole out more government money to their donors!
Some good news: http://blogs.rollcall.com/218/house-freedom-caucus-forms-fight-club/?dcz= the House Freedom Caucus is growing.
With there powers combined, they are, The Uniparty!
Naughty KC_Lion. You misused their/there.
I can’t think of a suitable punishment though.
The Rubber Stamp Party gets busy filling the ink pads.
Well who would be stupid enough to run a conservative considering the furthest ‘right’ site on the net is filled with people regularly saying they will vote for whoever the GOP nominates no matter what?
Is that a ‘base’ you would trust to have your back in a fight against the liberals of the two parties? Because when members of the most hardcore place on the web cannot be counted on 3 elections running, four if you include the promise to sell out the upcoming 16 event, the general public sure as hell won’t have their back either.
The excuse of the RINOs is that they’ll be blamed if “the whole thing grinds to a stop”.
But it is OBVIOUSLY the Dems who would get the blame. There’s just no way the media can cover up Reid’s filibusters or Obama’s vetoes.
So the RINO’s slim majority in the House Republican caucus will subvert the process- again.
Take away his K-pop access for an hour. The sniveling wretch will have atoned by then ;)
It’s a lesser evil.
Oh thats HARSH.
Couldn’t we do something mundane, like bamboo shoots under the fingernails?
Well it is a first offense.
2 hours. Make an example of him so the rest know fear.
too many capons and geldings
