New gov't agency going to be announced because I guess we have too much money lying around and no existing organization fits the bill.

Really?
In a five-paragraph letter to lawmakers accompanying the three-page draft resolution provided to The Associated Press, Obama said the Islamic State "poses a threat to the people and stability of Iraq, Syria and the broader Middle East and to U.S. national security."

Your solution is to go into this region of the world yet again and try to interfere in just the right way to fix this problem but not create more?

VA still a piece of shit.
The VA hasn’t fully addressed more than 100 of the accountability office’s recommendations, some stretching back more than a decade including those that have reportedly harmed veterans, according to the report.

Biden has a "butt buddy".

Want proof of the MSM's left leaning bias? Look no further than Biden. This guy makes Dan Quail seem presidential, yet the MSM doesn't give him nearly as much shit as they gave Quail.

Obama working hard.

Shutdown. Shutdown. Naturally both sides blame each other and no one will even think of any plan that cuts funding.

The critical government agency – tasked with overseeing everything from the Transportation Security Administration airport screenings
...
Funding for the vital agency is being tied to the heart of battle over President Obama’s executive actions on immigration..
...
“The American people didn’t give us the majority to have a fight between House and Senate Republicans,” Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday on “Meet the Press,” “We cannot cut funding for the Department of Homeland Security.”

This is why I don't vote. No one who runs for office is fit to be a public servant anymore. Look at the fuckwit retards that make up Congress. And McCain is one of the brighter bulbs over there.

This is why any representative government HAS to have a none of the above option in every election. I strongly suspect the majority of "apathetic" non-voters would be thrilled to vote if you offered them a candidate that wasn't total shit.

Fine, as long as "none of the above" getting a significant minority has actual consequences. Until then, I stand by Bender Bending Rodriguez, "Voting is for losers."

Bitchslapped.
The ruling comes as Congress debates how to extend funding authority for the Department of Homeland Security. House Republicans have passed a bill that funds the department through September but blocks funding to enforce any of Obama's executive actions. Senate Democrats have threatened a filibuster, and the White House has threatened a veto.

Watch the bipartisanship in motion.

Yeah,we have illegal, warrantless wiretaps for that.

Yup.

A new $39.7 billion budget for the department...


Nearly $40B to keep me from bringing toothpaste onto a plane. Go fuck yourselves.

"It will have a direct impact on your economy, and it will have a direct impact on America's national security because their hard work helps to keep us safe," Obama said in a speech to a meeting of state governors at the White House.


Ok, let's say you're 100% correct.

Republican-authored provisions that aim to block any spending on Obama's recent executive orders, which lift the threat of deportation from millions of undocumented immigrants.


Can you tell me how much your executive order and the millions of undocumented immigrants are going to affect my economy?

In all seriousness, if he's going to say the Republicans are about to fuck the economy by blocking his executive order, shouldn't he be able to answer that question?

Both parties still putting on knee pads to get votes.
Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski said Homeland Security employees are working this winter in harsh conditions. She said, "They're out there saving lives and we are playing parliamentary ping-pong.''

Also, dude lies about military service.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald has admitted that he lied about serving in the special operations forces in a conversation with a homeless veteran that was caught on camera earlier this year.

Sure, but the homeless aren't really people so it doesn't count.

While the donkeys are busying fondling the left testicle, the pachyderms go for the right.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters he was prepared to move swiftly on a bill to extend funding for DHS through the fiscal year that is not contingent on Republican demands to repeal President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

ATF planning on banning 556 ammo.

Can't ban the gun, so they're banning the bullets.
