Well, countdown is our only countdown emoji, but that seems plausible enough

Soon...

I have received guarantees and commitments - says Schumer and they pass the bill. And he's shocked (Shocked!) - that even though the GOP pinky sweared - they lied!

All of this shit is so predictable. Fucking DC Groundhog Day.

in the grand scheme of things it's nothing, and even among petty complaints, it is trite. but i fucking hate these $2000 suit motherfuckers that wear goddamn cowboy hats everywhere like the photo of OK Senator Shitkicker.

i spent a bunch of summers doing the kind of work assholes like this pretend to have a connection to, and only the most born rich, full of shit no-work ranchers, cops, car dealership owners, and oilmen wear a fucking stetson. and a special type of reality-tv imposter wears the shit indoors... in fucking D.C. of all places. are the soft, cool fluorescents making it hard to see the dusty trail? Markwayne, you talking pile of pigshit.

i swear to christ it takes so much discipline for me to see one of these assholes in their little costume and not throw my entire body weight into an explosive haymaker as an invitation to the fucking rodeo. somebody needs to shit in this guy's hat, pull it down over his eyes, and uppercut him.

They should make trucks with a skeuomorph bed a inch long for those folks. My truck's so big it don't even got a bed!

Do a shutdown, cave, accomplish nothing is an emerging Democrat pattern. If meaningful reforms somehow happen, I would be somewhat supportive. But I will bet against it.

God, will they do that again? Performative worse-than-uselessness is already awful. At least before their Rube Goldberg machines accomplishes something if it was almost nothing. I guess the dems might be considering something no one asked for.

How can we be destructive Rube Goldberg machines to get a win against the republicans?

I don't think they'll actually cave that fast so the news is obscured by the Friday night news dump. But it would be hilarious.

Unfortunately my timer doesn't do Planck time.
