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.

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.

First major act of Republicans in charge: gut the military

GOP SpinelessAnd oh, how I wish this wasn’t so.

An attempt by the current Obaka Administration to balance some books on the backs of serving military members.

NDAA deal hits troops’ pay, housing allowances

by Leo Shane III

Troops will see a 1 percent pay raise, slowed growth in their housing allowance and a $3 increase in most prescription co-pays as part of a military budget deal expected to be finalized this week.

All of the pay and benefits trims were backed by the Pentagon and White House in an effort to slow the growth of personnel costs. The housing cuts and pharmacy co-pays were the final sticking points for lawmakers, with a compromise reached after nearly a month of behind-the-scenes fights.

The lower pay raise will be the most obvious hit for troops, who would be in line for a 1.8 percent raise based on anticipated private-sector wage growth.

For an E-3 with three years of service, the lower raise is a loss of about $195 a year. For an E-7 with 10 years, it comes out to $356. For an O-5 with 12 years of service, it’s $667 in annual salary.

Pentagon planners noted that move alone will save them about $3.8 billion over the next five years. Opponents argued that it creates a new wage gap between troops and their civilian counterparts, giving them less disposable income.

In addition, lawmakers approved trimming back the housing allowances paid to troops who live off base. The Pentagon initially sought to reduce the tax-free housing benefit by 5 percent by reducing the 100 percent of troops’ estimated housing costs that are covered now down to an average of 95 percentin effect making troops pay 5 percent of their housing with out-of-pocket cash.

Right.  A semblance of a budget balanced on the backs of those who are tasked with fighting for our nation.

What a wonderful way to start, with a despicable act, GOP.

Way to go.

Tone deaf Barack Obama, Melvin’d on Tuesday, to forge ahead with Executive amnesty for illegal Mexicans

Obama As UrkelThe Demorat Party was resoundingly pantsed by nationwide voters on Tuesday, as was Mr Barack Hussein Obaka — though he refuses to admit it.  As far as he’s concerned, it was all about tidal pull, sunspots and the ignorant masses who refuse to acknowledge his inherent Greatness.

Obama Executive OrdersWith his tone-deafishness (just made that up) in mind, Mr Obaka decided to double down.  From Breitbart.com:

Report: Exec Amnesty ‘No Matter How Big a Shellacking’ For Dems

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jon Karl reported that according to WH officials “the president will move forward with an executive order on immigration reform “no matter how big a shellacking Democrats get tonight” during ABC’s Election coverage on Tuesday.

Karl said “White House officials are saying that you can expect the president to set an aggressive, and defiant tone tomorrow. You’re not going to see any mea culpas, no big firings, no change in direction.”

He added “officials tell me the president is prepared to aggressively pursue his agenda using his power of executive authority, where he can’t work with Congress, and the big one is going to be on immigration reform. White House officials tell me that the president will move forward with an executive order on immigration reform no matter how big a shellacking Democrats get tonight.”

Excellent strategy, I say, sir.  It’s worked so astonishingly well for you so far.  Bully!

Meanwhile, back in the reality the rest of us live in:

Racist & Sexist RepublicansDamn those sexist and racist Republicans, only voting for Caucasoid males.

Demorat CompromiseNow begins the Demorat two-word assault front: “bipartisanship” and “compromise.”

Where to next?  Will the Republicans be the easy-going Carpet Masters they’ve been in the past, laying down for most any Demorat edict?

As Hugh Hewitt Tweeted earlier today:  “Don’t confirm one POTUS judicial nominee unless paired w/GOP selection. Don’t fill SCOTUS vacancy. Paybacks are hell.”

And if they aren’t, paybacks have been known to occur in reverse.  Be forewarned, GOP: start collectively growing this:

GOP SpineOr one day you won’t be happy with Conservatives.

P.S. to Demorats:

“Bring out your dead.  .  .”
