The White House objects to a few Republican provisions in the omnibus $1.1-trillion spending bill, but overall, "We succeeded," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Wednesday.

"So we walked into these negotiations focused on making sure that Republicans would not succeed in advancing their ideological agenda through the budgetary process, and I think, based on all of the solid reporting work that you have done over the last several weeks, there were a variety of attempts that Republicans undertook to try to do exactly that, and we did succeed in fighting off those efforts." ...

Note to Lyin Ryan:

The White House just branded you their #1 Congressional Bitch.

This is so infuriating I’m really speechless. I feel like a Jew in 1936 Berlin watching the world go insane with nothing I can do about it.

Ryan is financing the importation of terrorists, so your thought makes sense.

Have you ever noticed how you can only “cross the aisle” from right to left? It will be a cold day in hell before you ever see a communist democRAT “cross the aisle”. They’re smarter than that.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

GOPe sellout ala Boehner. I will never vote for any candidate who doesn’t have an unqualified Conservative Party endorsement. All the others are prostitutes, laying on their backs with their legs spread wide open for the big buck.

With the only difference being, Kristallnacht hasn't happened yet...

Just keep paying 50 percent of your income to gibsmedats you don’t know (much less care about) so that you don’t lose your property and your freedom.

The Republican sellouts, called the GOP, signed their names, and openly told the American voters:
“BOHICA WITH NO VASELINE”.

Obama is laughing his ass off. He loves “spiking” the ball and trying to make Republicans look bad, Republicans play nice and make “humble” statements about working together and then BAM!

It’s called “Kabuki theater”. And the GOP-e needs no help in making themselves look bad.
