US House advances Bipartisan Budget Act to the Senate 284-149, sets discretionary spending at about $1.37 trillion for both of the next two fiscal years and suspends debt ceiling

65 Republicans voted for the damn thing, not that it mattered substantively. The thing otherwise would have passed 219-214 even if the 16 Democrats who voted "nay" still had done so. It's a 235-197-1 Democrat-controlled US House.

Roll call vote 511 is here.

The real crime is a Republican president is going to sign it, not using his greatest weapon, the veto, to get any number of things he claims he wants.

Obviously he doesn't really want what he says he wants.

 

Over 80% of females in Somalia undergo genital mutilation, so Ilhan Omar understandably doesn't want to go there, because it may have happened to her

She was ten when her family had to flee, the average age when the procedure is performed.

Grow up already, Mueller was a piker compared to Lawrence Walsh, who harassed Ronald Reagan and Bush 41 for 6 years

Very disappointed in President Trump for being unable to act ... Trump has let down the lawful citizenry of the US ... I watched as our border patrol was being overwhelmed by illegal invaders ... the president doesn't really care for real Americans! #FreeAmericansFromTrump

LOL: NeverTrumper Charlie Sykes nearly as popular as communism at AMERICA: THE JESUIT REVIEW

Hey Rush Limbaugh, here's your evidence you can't seem to remember: Russia duped Michael Moore

Michael Moore participated in anti-Trump rally allegedly organized by Russians

From the Mueller report:

You knew this was coming, right?

Hey Paul Sperry, you crumb, this amazing specimen has died, aged 75, and Robert S. Mueller III is still alive

Democrats have a messaging problem when the venerable London Times concludes their star witness wasn't so stellar

LOL: CNN calls US House vote supporting 2-state solution and opposing boycott, divestment, sanctions movement "divisive" when it passed 398-17

House approves resolution opposing Israel boycott movement in divisive vote

Roll call vote 497 is here.

The headline is correct in one sense, however: Both hard left and hard right are cracking up.

The former leader of the Rebel Alliance, Justin Amash, ignominiously abandoned the fight to vote "present" with four other courageous Democrats cowardly lions, leaving his wingman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to cast the lone Republican "nay" vote.

Massie strangely thought it a good idea to associate himself with the likes of Democrats AOC, Omar and Tlaib, apparently rushing to fill in for Squad member Ayanna Pressley, who inexplicably abandoned her compatriots and voted "yea", proving once again that the true meaning of libertarianism is the freedom to be anti-Semitic.

 

US House votes overwhelmingly to stop robocalls, except for Justin Amash and 2 others

The roll call vote is here.

Black Georgia pot callin' the Cuban kettle black: black female legislator told the white guy to go back where he came from, not the other way around

Governor Stacey Abrams really should do something about this.

Sounds to me like Robert Mueller is saying we need to go back to registration restriction, photo id, election day voting and paper ballots

I'm all in!

Paul E. Sperry has no clue whatsover what it's like to be 74, or that the average age of death for men in the US is just 76

Bugger off, mate.

In sharp contrast to Donald Trump Boris Johnson fired everybody upon taking office, a sign he actually might succeed

A "brutal cull" not seen in 60 years.

Bush 41 did the same and ultimately failed because he betrayed Ronald Reagan, so we'll see, now won't we?

Alt-right kinda slow on the uptake

You are only seven months behind the curve, buddy.

The guy held over 300 rallies in 2015 and 2016 where he pretty much kept saying the same old thing over and over again, so he became tiresome long ago to anyone who was paying serious attention

The pissing off came early and comes often because he's not delivering and now in fact is doing the opposite of what he promised.

His signature issue lies in ruins even as he's about to sign a spending bill the likes of which he promised he'd never sign again.

And we used to joke that Obama's statements all came with an expiration date. Trump's statements evaporate like self-destructing phone messages.

Actually he's a bigger moral trainwreck than Trump will ever be, so there's that

The once free world deserves these two.

Meh: Trump steaks, Trump wines, Trump immigration enforcement
