Anywho the running joke is we (exempted) would be paid, but they furloughed they pay people  :lol: . So, we end up getting the short end of the stick.

Is it starting? http://news.yahoo.com/possible-shots-u-capitol-puts-senators-lockdown-183943370.html

Seriously, shouldn't those security personnel have been sent home due to the shut down?

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Seems like the Republicans have a plan for countering any potential backlash at the polls from the shutdown. Remove campaign contributions completely: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/03/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court_n_4037577.html
Campaign contribution limits.

Big difference that. But, you, 'murricans. If you want more sensible politics, only permit donations to the political parties themselves.

And, seriously, you people should be embarrassed. You fuckin' call yourselves a first world nation? Even Taiwan can pass a budget between fist fights in that parliament. You can't blame this all on the teabaggers, they aren't the majority, they aren't even the majority of the majority. You have elected pathetic spineless losers to congress. You did this. You seriously need to apologize to the rest of the human race for making us look bad. This is the second time this has happened. FFS did you nitwits learn nothing from the last time? The only other western country to fuck it up this bad was Belgium when they managed to go for two years without a government, but they managed to pass budgets in that time.

They will crumble under the weight of their own contradictions...


A pity, since America is needed!


If I was Obama I'd round up that unruly Congress and force them - at gun point - to vote a budget *with* tax raises.  Is he not the first magistrate of the Republic?  Is he not Commander in Chief?  Is it not his mandate to protect and safeguard the Republic against all threats?  Including those from within?  And I will be damned if those Tea Party fanatics aren't a threat to America.
