What in the actual fuck.

Mark Levin? I'm not surprised. He's been on talk radio for a number of years. A bigger nutjob than Hannity, Limbaugh, and O'Reily combined. Many screws loose in that one. He was a Tea Partyer before there was a Tea Party. You think Hannity gets mad? lol

 

[empty vessel]

What in the actual fuck.

He proposes a terrible economy. But on the plus side (for him), a terrible economy entrenches the already economically powerful.

 

[Konka]

81 v 18.

 

[ivysaur12]

He seems like the kind of guy who would go to a Tea Party rally dressed as Paul Revere and spam his Facebook with Obummer posts and Candy Crush requests.

That's the image I get. Let me live with that.

81 v 18.

Who are the 18?

 

[Josta]

81 v 18.

I didn't expect it to pass the Senate with those numbers. Color me surprised.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Thank god Senate still has some somewhat sensible Repubs. Image if they were the majority

 

[Konka]

Can you imagine if there was no Senate and just the House?

 

[Jooney]

Senate approves debt ceiling vote 81-18.

Who are these opposing 18? Jesus.

I would fully expect Ted Cruz to be a one-and-done senator, but he's in Texas, so...

He's up for reelection in a rapidly changing electorate. He might have a harder time winning a second term, though I imagine he'll probably pull it out.

He's up in 2018, so that helps his odds.

"This is a terrible deal," Cruz said. "This deal embodies everything about the Washington establishment that frustrates the American people."

But even as Cruz spoke, he conceded defeat by accurately predicting the bill would pass "by a big margin," and accused his Senate colleagues of abandoning House Republicans in the fight against Obamacare.

"I ask you to imagine a world in which Senate Republicans united to support House Republicans," Cruz said. "It is heartbreaking to the American people that Senate Republicans divided as they did and decided to direct their criticism, direct their attention, direct their cannon fire at House Republicans and at those standing with the American people.

"They became the Air Force bombing our own troops -- bombing House Republicans, bombing conservatives," Cruz said.

Wow this fucking guy.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Can you imagine if there was no Senate and just the House?

Thank god the founding fathers could.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Holy Crap:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/cruz-effort-to-defund-obamacare-incredible-victory

Cruz told conservative talk show host Mark Levin that Republican senators had been "firing their cannons" at the House Republican caucus and likened the Senate GOP to an "air force bombing our own troops."

wow this guy

 

[Link]

Anyone else feel Obama is almost daring the House to vote no on the bill by speaking before the vote?

 

[Konka]

Holy shit. Fox is sounding less ridiculous after the Presidents speech than CNN, tha fuck.

 

[ivysaur12]

That Mark Levin crazy is from Dax, by the way.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Holy shit. Fox is sounding less ridiculous after the Presidents speech than CNN, tha fuck.

CNN "i cant believe the president in going to get on TV and gloat" really guys?

Annoying commentator "President needs to upset the liberal wing at some point in the future"

WH aide on timing of this speech: The President and First Lady didn't want to cancel their tickets for the 9:10 showing of Gravity

hahahahaha

edit: nm apparently it was a joke by Sam Stein

CNN has become so ridiculous in their attempt to stay neutral it's silly.

 

[bananas]

Fucking Rubio. Can't wait until 2016 when his ass gets voted out.

 

[ivysaur12]

hahahahaha

He's having reporters ask about this so he deleted it.

 

[Jooney]

hahahahaha

I don't blame them. Gravity is a spectacle.

I hope the aide said this whilst doing his best trollface impression.

Fucking Rubio. Can't wait until 2016 when his ass gets voted out.

"The American people have their god given rights to rise to the level of their abilities ... before being denied health care because of a pre-existing conditions".

 

[Oblivion]

lol @ all the people who thought this clown would be presidential material.

Who would have thought that Rand Paul of all people would come out looking like the smart* teabagger.

*insert air quotes

Pretty funny joke, though.

CNN has become so ridiculous in their attempt to stay neutral it's silly.

I don't know what angers me more: That CNN is such shit or that it's still the best option available.

Fucking Rubio. Can't wait until 2016 when his ass gets voted out.

I'll be helping with that.

Shelly Moore-Capito said she'll vote for the deal.

Pleeeeeeeeeeease lead to a primary challenge, let Republicans O'Donnell their way out of this one.

Ted Cruz admits that he's such a piece of shit that even he can't keep it a secret

Spoiler

Permit me the license on the article heading.

 

[Ding]

[...] and Fox News having no clue which way to tow the line.

Since you seem to use this phrase a lot, I'll be That Guy(tm) and let you know it's "toe the line". As in, "line up shoulder to shoulder, and present a united front."

 

[Oblivion]

Cruz is like Herman Cain without any of the charm.

What charm does Herman Cain even have?

 

[Oblivion]

What charm does Herman Cain even have?

Cain was actually likable. Sure, he was an idiot, but he seemed like someone you could have a beer with.

Plus, he also brought us the best political commercial ever:

He was funny, mostly because he said a lot of dumb shit.

Bitch, please. Sheetz and their Fryz got met through college.

Dude, I live in western PA, there are Sheetz everywhere.

GOVERNMENTS ARE SOCIALISM

Obama needs to concede a little and allow more shutdowns, and also allow a partial default. Give and take!
