DHS Shutdown Looms Again: GOP Leaders Scramble To Avert Crisis

[DonViejo]

WASHINGTON — Call it a déjà vu week for Republican leaders.

They returned to Capitol Hill for the second Monday in a row staring down the possibility of a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security on Friday — and without a politically viable plan to avoid it.

DHS funding expires at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, after Congress scrambled to pass a one-week extension of the deadline in a chaotic day last Friday, when President Barack Obama signed the bill just 10 minutes before a shutdown.

The day featured 52 House Republicans voting down their leaders' three-week stopgap bill, a rather public embarrassment for Speaker John Boehner (R-OH). The saga has led to bitter recriminations and intra-party divisions both within the House GOP and between House and Senate Republicans — the latter are eager to put this fight to rest.

House Republicans still have no good options as they prepare to meet on Tuesday morning and discuss the path forward.

(maybe I should have said alcoholic, either way I'm sure you get what I'm getting at,) you will have drunk ass stupid shit happen and this is a perfect example of that.
