"appropriations bills"  Yeah, right.  Spending taxpayer money seems to be about the only thing these lazy lumps know how to do.    Would be nice if the energy they expend throwing money around could be used to keep their promises, such as repealing Obamacare.

Thank you, YES - my beef with this asinine statement by the Turtle really pisses me off.  They JUST appropriated 3 TRILLION DOLLARS in DEFICIT SPENDING ALREADY THIS YEAR for fiscal 2018 and 19.  What other "appropriations" are these sickening miscreants and muggers in Congress wanting to steal from us at the point of a gun?

Might as well vote for the Democrats directly since the Trumplican party seems bent on outspending them, we might save some money.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

No recess = no recess appointments.


"Not all is lost for senators, aides and other Capitol denizens hoping to relax. McConnell's office said senators will likely be on a break for the first full week of August before returning for the rest of the month."

There must be some reason to despise McConnell for this.  Bring the hate Trumpers.

What the hell does this even mean?

Haven't you clued in that the poster is a genuine, dyed in the wool Establishment hack? Probably has a picture of Nelson Rockefeller as his screen saver and wrote in Howard Baker for the '80 Presidential election.

And he'd probably tell you himself if he hadn't just broken out his classic 'Read My Lips' Monogram Cocktail Shaker and Rocks Glass Set

From reading the poster's musings, he probably still has the "Baker '80" sticker on his Volvo.

Is that the one that was forced to make a wedding cake for two homos?

I guess it could have been worse. But Pat Buchanan didn't run that year..

Those are scandalous lies. We all know a low brow lout like Trump would pull that shit. Not a classy solid Progressive Moderate like Nelson....
