Boehner supports Obama on Iran deal

Boehner Obama's BITCHTime and again I hear on the Michael Medved show that the Republicans have fought bravely on behalf of the American Taxpayer.  I enjoy listening to Mr Medved but with the caveat that he is clearly a GOPEE supporter.

The GOPEE is starting to wear on me as it is on those who support Donald Trump.

The backlash which has manifested itself in the success of Donald Trump?  I understand it.  I don’t think it’s fruitful or will hold water in the end when the chips are down, but I understand the source of the frustration and its resulting orange hair.

And it is because of things like this that Trump continues to resonate despite his pettiness, his childish behavior and lack of insightful substance.

Because of things like this from Breitbart.com:

Republicans Thwart Boehner Plan To Move Forward On Obama’s Nuclear Arms Deal With Iran

by Matthew Boyle

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A full-scale revolt against House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) —including a looming resolution that could come up for a vote at any time that would remove him from the speakership—has thrown into disarray the House GOP leadership’s previously carefully laid plans to push President  Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran through Congress without a fight.

The Boehner GOPEE is at work once again, “going along to get along” with Obama..

I term it the GOPEE because Boehner represents the GOP Establishment Elite, the same people who, at the end of the day, meet their good Demorat friends at local watering holes for expensive name drinks, backslapping all around, laughing prevalent at having screwed the American Taxpayer over another day.

Amid a rebellion in the House GOP conference meeting on Wednesday morning, leadership canceled a previously scheduled rule vote that would have set up the House putting through a resolution of disapproval of the president’s Iran deal under the terms of legislation previously signed into law from Sens Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Ben Cardin (D-MD).

This all happened as a result of an argument furthered by Reps. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) and Pete Roskam (R-IL) that Congress shouldn’t even vote on the Corker-Cardin resolution, either approving or disapproving of the Iran deal, since the president has not yet complied with the law regarding the release of text of the deal including “side deals” cut with Tehran.

In other words, Obama and his sycophants are insisting that Congress vote for something the likes of which they haven’t even seen in totality.  There are a host of “side deals” as yet unrevealed even to Congress.

Sound familiar?

Besides being an idiotic idea — supporting something that so very few have apparently even read in totality much less the “side bets” —  the parts that are known make no sense for the security of the United States, for Israel, or the world. We are giving nuclear weapons to Iran with essentially no monitoring of their program whatsoever.

Khamenei Tweet About Israel 1The Iranians are laughing, sending out Tweets (Iran’s Khameini is on Twitter, for God’s sake) that Israel will be gone in 25 years.  They are singularly pleased that the United States and the West could be such abysmally stupid dupes.

Khamenei Tweet About USIran’s Ayatollah Khamenei takes pleasure in the fact that Iran will not negotiate any further with the US unless it is in their favor — as with the nuclear deal.  Trump is correct: this is roughly the worlds worst negotiation.

It is action like this, endorsed by Speaker Boehner, that makes people like me, actual Conservatives, upset.

In four words, we are fed up.

Boehner and Republicans like Boehner have got to go.

Hence: the popularity of Trump.

Right or wrong, the popularity of Trump.

GOP, once again, never fails to squander an advantage

Boehner & Pelosi

John Boehner just loves him some good ol’ Demorats.

Because the Old Staid GOP decided it’s just got to be “business as usual” with John Boehner throned for a third time as Speaker of the House.

Ho-hum.  Buh-bye to any power the GOP would have wielded to fight the Demorats and Leftists, despite the majority in the House and Senate.

The GOP, once again, not failing to squander whatever advantage it acquires.

And what would a re-coronation of John Boehner be without the waterworks?

Just when you thought, as an actual Conservative, that the GOP might be starting to change, they go and insist upon the path they’ve trod for years: knocking back drinks at local DC watering holes with their buddies, the Demorats.  Back slapping all around.

As Rahm Emanual said, “you never let a serious crisis go to waste,” so the GOP says: “we must never fail to squander a good electoral and tactical political advantage.”

The GOP is broken — and I’m wondering if it can ever be repaired.

Boehner - If It's Okay With Barack

GOP waits about 35 seconds after taking power before kicking Conservatives in the crotch

John Boehner MascaraHere, John Boehner wears mascara in order to emphasize the innocent sweetness of his lash-lovely eyes and his perfectly rouged lips. “How can you not trust me?” his exquisitely-tanned persona seems to ask.  “Easy,” I respond.

In the Classic Old Staid GOPGo Along To Get Along” Mode via John Andrew Boehner, he did his level best to ensure the $1.1 TRILLION dollar Omnibus bill passed the House, 216 to 209.

Laura Ingraham Twitted:

The Dems split w/Obama HELPS Dems in 2016. The GOP’s war on conservative principles HARMS GOP in 2016.

As well as this:

How much ACTUAL debate on the SUBSTANCE of the $1.1T bill was there? No one wanted to defend this.

And this:

. was planning to do this all along. Gave Obama almost everything he wanted; shafted conservatives.

From the AssociatedPress.org:

House approves $1.1T bill financing government

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have muscled a $1.1 trillion bill financing government agencies through the House after President Barack Obama phoned Democratic lawmakers and urged them to back the measure.

The House approved the measure late Thursday by 219-206.

Many conservatives opposed it because it did not block Obama’s recent executive actions on immigration. A large majority of House Democrats opposed it because of provisions easing some restrictions on banks and allowing higher political contributions by big donors.

Obama backed the bill and called wavering Democratic lawmakers to persuade them to help it pass.

The bill must now be approved by the Democratic-run Senate.

Thanks for being the perennial sell-out, John Andrew.

I might suggest a scheduled and long-needed upcoming trip to Spines N Us.

Republicans: wrecking the military with impunity

Red Light DCThe House voted Wednesday to screw the military.

And most all the Republicans voted for same.

From TheBlaze.com:

House Passes $1.1T Omnibus Spending Bill: Here Are the 166 Republicans Who Voted For It

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed with overwhelming support a massive $1.1 trillion “omnibus” spending bill to fund government operations until Sept. 30.

The bill passed 359-67. Sixty-four Republicans and three Democrats voted against the bill. The three Democrats were Reps. Raul Grijalva (Ariz.), Rush Holt (N.J.) and Mike McIntyre (N.C.).

Approving the bill “is showing the American people we actually are capable of working in a bipartisan manner,” said Oklahoma Republican Tom Cole.

The 1,582-page bill works out the details of the budget agreement struck by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) in December.

And, with that, please see my Tuesday post regarding the heinous slashing of our military personnel pension benefits.  Up to and including $80,000 per person.

This offset could have been “paid for” by moving to a five-day-per-week post office.

House VoteOne widely supported provision would roll back a reduction in annual cost-of-living increases for wounded military personnel who retire early or for their surviving spouses. That language was part of the savings included in the budget compromise by Ryan and Murray enacted last month, money that was used to help soften cuts in other programs.

“Widely supported.”

And why I say to each and every one of you who reads me now: this is nothing more than a feather-bedding deal for the Republicans and they are simply spineless and gutless.

See this link.

There isn’t, now, a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and the Demorats.

Prove me wrong.
