This nonsense is all part of the bigger game.
It's gotta stop one of these days...
The Senate on Thursday voted to approve a one-time exemption to the filibuster on raising the debt ceiling, capping off a months-long fight over the nation’s borrowing limit. This is being done because there is no federal budget in place, and most likely never will be again...
Senators voted 59-35 on the legislation, which also prevents cuts to Medicare. Ten GOP senators voted with Democrats to pass the legislation. GOP Sens. Joni Ernst (Iowa) and Roger Wicker (Miss.), who helped advance the bill earlier, voted against it on Thursday night.
The bill cleared the House earlier this week and now goes to President Biden’s desk.
Once he signs it, Democrats will be able to bring up and pass a debt ceiling increase with only a simple majority, instead of the normal 60 votes needed for most legislation.
“This is the responsible path forward. No brinkmanship, no default on the debt, no risk of another recession. We still have a few more steps to take before we completely resolve this matter, but I’m optimistic that after today’s vote we’ll be on a glide path to avoid a catastrophic default,” Senate Majority Leader Charles (Chucky the scumbag) Schumer said on Thursday.
Let's be clear on one thing here - There is nothing responsible in anything they did. It's the blind leading the blind, with no clear path forward.

In January 1954, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio married in San Francisco and jetted off to Japan for their honeymoon. While DiMaggio attended to his baseball clinics, Monroe took a solo detour to the Korean peninsula, which had been recently divided by the armistice which ended the Korean War the previous year. Over the course of four days, Monroe took a whirlwind tour of American military bases, putting on 10 shows for an estimated 100,000 very excited servicemen.
She remarked that the Korea trip “was the best thing that ever happened to me. I never felt like a star before in my heart. It was so wonderful to look down and see a fellow smiling at me”. The tour was a welcome respite from Monroe’s tense relationship with her new husband, whose jealousy and controlling behavior would contribute to their divorce just eight months later.
In one show where the start was delayed the troops got frustrated and threatened to riot so the opening acts had to be cancelled to get her onto the stage sooner. The crowed adored her and they truly enjoyed her visit. She looked amazing on her baggy army uniform. Ted Sherman, who served in the Navy during World War II and Korea, recalled: “I was with a group of Navy guys who happened to be at Daegu Air Force Base when we heard Marilyn would entertain there that night. We convinced our transport pilot to find something wrong with our R4D transport, so we could delay the return flight to our ship in Tokyo Bay for that one night. It was a great evening for all the homesick guys who were dazzled by the movie star’s performance. The sight and sounds of Marilyn singing ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ is a memory I still cherish”.

This will perform in ways Hubble couldn't even approach. They're saying they may even be able to see back in time to the beginning of creation with this instrument.

... What an amazing family and what a legacy they have. The Unser family combined for a record nine wins in the Indy 500; Al Jr. won the Indy 500 twice — in 1992 and 1994. Coincidentally, Al Unser, Al Unser Jr. and Bobby Unser all won their final Indy 500s driving for Roger Penske.

A cargo truck jammed with more than 100 people thought to be migrants from Central America has rolled over and crashed into a pedestrian bridge in southern Mexico, killing at least 53 people and injuring dozens more.
The crash on Thursday on a highway near Tuxtla Gutierrez, state capital of Chiapas, might have been triggered by the weight of the truck’s human cargo causing it to tip over on a bend.
Their lives are so fucked up where they come from that they're willing to do crazy shit like this. I don't condone this kinda shit in any way, shape or form, but it really points to how much it must really suck wherever they're from.
... Trust me - I have one that can pick friggin' locks.

ReplyDeleteWhat a shame wasting all this money on launching a telescope - just read the Bible.
The whole six days then a day of rest thing? Okeedokee...
DeleteHeck! We might even be able to find out which one is the correct day for that day of rest! Don't know about you, I don't any.
DeleteIn ref to the one-time filibuster bypass.....Republicans got played. First is the obvious debt ceiling raise. But more importantly, it's going to be pushed that the senate did fine without that antiquated filibuster getting in the way, and this vote will be used to justify getting rid of it altogether.
