1. Does the Bill Now Go To The House?

...and then the President's desk???

[cstanleytech]

3. Yes, the next stop is the House and then the President assuming of course that the

Republicans in the House (which they have clear majority control over) can set aside their hatred for the President for a change and agree with their fellow Republicans in the Senate to pass a clean spending bill.

2. How much do we the people pay...

these idiots?

$174,000 a year (base).

Obviously, intelligence has no relation to income.

Step 1, Democratic President with veto.

Step 2, legislation that will pass and be signed by President.

Step 3, don't waste time and money on BULLSHIT!

4. They HAVE "intelligence committies"

but no one's really qualified to staff them.

[yallerdawg]

5. Yes, intelligence.

Not a snowballs chance in...

[Cosmocat]

7. Just fucking morons

truly ...

[Scalded Nun]

6. Republicans can do ANYTHING

Except govern.

When will this country wake up?

[Cosmocat]

8. Not in our lives

I have resigned myself to that.

They are worse now than in the 90s when I was mystified at how big of jackasses they were AND the public actually is LESS likely to hold them accountable for their jackassery now than then.

9. Stand Strong Democrats on the 3 week DHS bill

Defeat this bill Democrats. It is time the Republicans CLOWN pass a clean bill thru Sept. Defeat Boehner. He is not a leader.
