It is the second Saturday after the country voted for baby Jesus, and lower taxes and so Republicans are already planning to flex their mandate and shut down the government. They say the shut down will be over the President’s claim that he is going to stop deporting so many browns. That’s the plan.
If the President trips them up by continuing to deport browns at the current rate, they’ll figure something out. Of course shutting down the government isn’t the first choice for the few remaining Republicans who still have a loose grip on reality. They’d prefer a lawsuit because threatening a lawsuit is pretty manly business that always gets results.
Tom Carper said that he’d vote with those same Republicans to overturn a Presidential veto because overriding a Presidential veto will usher in a golden age of peace and prosperity. It will also show the GOP once and for all that when Tom Carper says bipartisanship – BY GOD he means BIPARTI-FUCKING-SHIP.
The Europeans landed a space craft on a comet. They can do stuff like that because they don’t have the Tea Party.
