John Boehner is willing to crash the US economy in order to keep his job. Has there ever been a more reckless and incompetent House Speaker who could allow such a thing to come to pass?
There are 200 or so Democrats in the House of Representative who would end this shutdown right now, but John Boehner wants to pretend that they do not exist.
John Boehner is denying tens of millions of Americans their right to representation in the House of Representatives. He wants to pretend that the only vote he can pass must come with united GOP support from a crowd of loons I wouldn’t count on to be able to order a pizza. This plan depends on your denial that 205 House Democrats exist.
Because GOD FORBID a dozen or so House Reps have to stand up to the Tea Party and risk a primary. God Forbid Boehner or some other “moderate” Republican has to stand out and be the voice of reason in this lunacy. Cowards, each and every one of them, and rather than confront the tea Party the cowardly bulk of the House GOP to a man goes along with the lunacy and brinksmanship, all so they can extract more hostage demands.
Boehner is allowing a group of people who represent less than 18% of Americans to potentially tank the global economy, to say nothing of how much people are hurting right here in America because of this. I just … this has to stop. They have to send the Tea Party back to the lunatic fringe where they belong.
THIS IS GETTING NO COVERAGE, FUCKING REBLOG THIS SHIT. THIS IS SOME VILLAIN SHIT.

“My sight is failing,” she said finally. “Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?"
For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.”
– George Orwell, Animal Farm.
"Democracy has been suspended”
I wish I had better words to articulate my feelings on this. But the ANIMAL FARM parallel is so apt it’s frightening.
If we are so predictable a creature, that Orwell’s book can draw from instances of the past, and still be viable point of comparison now, then we have nothing to conclude but that these practices, though benefiting a few in the short term, without interference, will prove short-sighted and facilitate the undoing of those that abuse them in the long term.
This needs more shares.
what the fuck is this shit?

Instead of having a government shutdown maybe we should just start paying the politicians minimum wage. They say you can live on it, right?

Sadly, no. More like Lucius Malfoy is throwing a hissyfit about the fact that Muggleborn might be let into St. Mungo’s. Not that he goes to St. Mungo’s. He has a personal physician, doncha know.
