Seems my usesless rep lummis is firmly entrenched with her DC brethren.
Yeah, but these fuckers are just actors on a stage – the producers are the real issue. If ordered, Pelosi would suck off a banana on live television if ordered to do so. They have no say – somebody’s got pictures with audio on each and every one of these clowns. God can only imagine what Pelosi’s 15 minutes are of – I pray I never have to see.
…but still not smart enough not to to support the party of stoopid.
“There is no substantive disagreement, except over who gets the dough, between Republicans and Democrats over war, imperialism, surveillance, corporatism, central banking, etc. There is much playacting, to fool the boobeosie, but that’s all. Thus the GOP winks once again that it agrees with Obama’s immigration-welfare policy.”
Lew Rockwell
GOPES!
Nice quote Flash! They all ES!
It’s time to bring out the pitch forks.
Republicans must vote for the Democrat contender in Boners district the next time up. Boner will bring down the Rupublican Party for good with his back room deals.
Let’s face it. No one trusts that snake.
“Boner” my fat boomer ass! He is a weak dick, a collaborator wif Obongo, Pelosium, Reid, &TC. He is a disgrace and I have voted in my last national election. That’s if we even have one in ’16.
You folks realize this is all just for show. The real action is with Cheney & Rumsfeld at “Site R” Raven Rock.
Westcoaster
You’ve referenced Cheney and sited Raven Rock many times. Could you give us some detail on what you are talking about and why you believe this?
Ragman–:Your last national election, you say! Boy, you’re a hard learner. The big con is believing that elections matter. Too many undereducated, unthinking Americans. MIT economist Jonathan Gruber was right–So, So, Stoopid! No doubt watching TWD and thinking it is the 6 o’clock newscast. No wonder America’s leadership and dominance is slowly circling the toilet.
Amash is probably the best congressman in D.C., for what it’s worth. Consistently votes against NDAA, Patriot Act, NSA funding, etc.
I don’t think many on this site expected anything different. To bad Ann Wagner in Missouri #2 is in a really safe district. Hell will freeze over before a Republican gets beat in that District.
Republicans Lay Seeds to Destroy Their Own Party – John Boehner’s Revenge
Posted on January 7, 2015 by Martin Armstrong
John Boehner secured his third term as speaker losing 25 votes on the House floor to really unknown members of the Republican Conference. Boehner is one of the most corrupt and ruthless politicians in Washington. This is not a very nice guy. I reported previously that he threw anyone off of any financial committee who supported the tea party or Ron Paul. Boehner also prevented Ron Paul’s name from even being nominated at the Republican Convention. He is a very spiteful and highly revenge seeking individual Boehner quickly has moved to oust two of the insurgents from the influential Rules Committee who voted against him. This guy is capable of destroying the Republican Party and is indeed fulfilling our model that 2016 will be the strong showing of third-party candidates. Boehner is anything but respectful of criticism.
Boehner is always about revenge and paybacks. He will target all his betrayers, who would otherwise see subcommittee chairmanships and other perks be handed to only his supporters. He acts more like a king than the leader of a party. Boehner wants dictatorship and he abuses his position to threaten and coerce anyone who is against his ruthless style of politics. Therein lies our downfall of the United States. We have no hope of reform with people like this in Washington.
Pelosi vs Boehner as most worthless piece of human flesh occupying the speakers position in the last seven years.
Who was worst?
I hope both parties go down in flames because this, apparently, is the best we can do.
We have elected representatives on both sides arguing that with gas prices this low, now is the time to raise the federal gas tax.
No fucking clue why gas prices are low, or a vague idea that prices will rise again, just now is a great opportunity to increase taxation. The sad commentary is a lot of people agree.
Homer: yes, I am a hard learner. However, I wrote in Ron Paul in the last three. What, pray tell, did you do?
The Party of Stupid should no longer be referred to as such.It would be more in line with the group-think of the self-abused adherents of this madness masquerading as conservatism to refer to them in more properly as the party of insanity since they keep doing the same thing,always expecting a different results.
…a party of insane fools then…

ODD..Remember this acronym, because this will be the diagnosis(i.e reason for internment ) for those who don’t go along with the faux democratic narrative of two parties of ideologically opposed politicos battling it out for the greater good of US all….yes, it was so sweet of the oligrachs to think of US and how dare anyone say otherwise.
Modern psychiatry has become a hotbed of corruption, particularly the kind that seeks to demonize and declare mentally ill anyone who deviates from what is regarded as the norm. This is abundantly evident in the latest installment of the industry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, which dubs people who do not conform to what those in charge declare to be normal as mentally insane.
The so-called “condition” for why a person might choose to resist conformity has been labeled by the psychiatric profession as “oppositional defiant disorder,” or ODD. The new DSM defines this made-up disease as an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” and also lumps it in alongside attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, another made-up condition whose creator, Dr. Leon Eisenberg, admitted it to be phony on his death bed.
As you might suspect from this type of open-ended description, almost any personal behavior perceived by someone else to be undesirable or strange might be categorized as symptomatic of ODD. Children who throw temper tantrums or fight with their siblings, for instance, might be declared to have this supposed mental illness, as might children who express disagreement with their parents or teachers.
Bend over for Obama Boehner
Admin;
Raven Rock or Site “R” as it is called, is in Blue Ridge summit PA ,off Rt. 16 in Adams county. I’ve been by it a few times.
A hardened underground facility, It’s one of the best known under ground federal facilities outlying the DC metro area.
I’ve known people who helped to excavate it during the Truman administration.
Cheney, Rumsfeld or Beelzebub don’t reside there.
Boehner retaliates against foes after speaker vote

John Boehner retaliated against Republicans who opposed him for speaker in Tuesday’s election
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — John Boehner has retaliated against the right.
Boehner, the Ohio Republican re-elected House speaker on Tuesday, moved quickly to boot two members who opposed him in the speaker election from the influential House Rules Committee. One, Rep. Daniel Webster of Florida, was one of three GOP candidates who announced they were running against Boehner for the speaker post, reports the Washington Examiner. Richard Nugent, another Floridian, also saw his committee spot disappear. The moves could be just the start of payback for the speaker’s betrayers, as Politico puts it: they may see subcommittee chairmanships and other perks fall away in the coming months. Some 25 House Republicans did not support Boehner in Tuesday’s vote.
rethuglicans put he us in usurp…representatives of what?…phhhtttt.
The recently passed Cromnibus (Continuing Resolution + omnibus—further corrosion of the once stately and beautiful English language into a leprous gargoyle) should lay to final rest the pitiably naive dream of Republican partisans that their “revolutionary” November victory would work anything revolutionary in Washington, or any kind of change at all. The first rule for honest people in our nation’s capital (if there are any): run like hell from anything hailed as a “bipartisan success,” and double-fast when The Wall Street Journal is doing the hailing, in a front page headline no less. The Republicans gave the Democrats a year’s more spending on their beloved, bloated beast, and did not mount a funding challenge to either Obama’s immigration policy (that’s supposed to come in two months) or Obamacare.
Hidden within the 1600-plus pages bill that nobody but the lobbyists read were the usual pork, earmarks, subsidies, phony cuts (in Washington, if a program is scheduled to grow 10 percent, and that is reduced to 8 percent, they call it a cut), and a Christmas present for the banks: loosening a requirement that they transfer some of their trading activities to affiliates not covered by federal deposit insurance. Naturally the Republicans, swearing fealty to global interventionism and never-ending war, bumped up the military budget—shiny new toys for the generals and admirals and a jobs program for defense contractors back home. With apologies to Ambrose Bierce, here’s a Devil’s Dictionary definition of “bipartisanship”: spending for all!
