I could only wanly muster vague enthusiasm for the platinum coin thingy. See, the thing about crazy idiots, is that they just get boring. Who could have predicted bite me.
Republican leadership officials, in a series of private meetings and conversations this past week, warned that the White House, much less the broader public, doesn’t understand how hard it will be to talk restive conservatives off the fiscal ledge. To the vast majority of House Republicans, it is far riskier long term to pile up new debt than it is to test the market and economic reaction of default or closing down the government.
What the fuck is the point of The Politico? I could have "reported" this shit from not talking to anyone and drinking a lot of hot whiskey with lemon.
Which is to say, I had last week off, so I drank a lot of hot whiskey and lemon, and whenever I happened to contemplate Republicans, I thought, "yep, they're a gang of shit-for-brains assholes."
NOTE TO WHOEVER THE FUCK IS PAYING FOR THE "REPORTING" CONDUCTED BY THE POLITICO.
Gobshite House Republicans are idiot assholes. I'll tell you that shit for free.
But I won't say no to whiskey.
(Vander/Hei is paid? What, does he charge by the gulp?)
