"Cromnibus" Spending Bill - Shutdown Averted!

[Morning in Atlas]

Shut the f**ker down. Deregulation is not an option.

[Morning in Atlas]

I don't want the shut down or less restrictions on campaign donations. If it does shut down at least it will be for a respectable reason.

I do. Every "Democrat" in the House who voted for this (who didn't get beaten in the House) deserves to be primaried.

Hahahahahhahha look at you thinking progressives will actually get off their asses and do something instead of writing angry words on the Internet and taking off to drink themselves half to death.

Get back to me when you've done something. Until then, you're part of the problem, kiddo.

Roll call here.

So much for Ann Kuster getting an endorsement from me in the future. And so much for Georack Obamush doing anything to change the current system.

The Democratic caucus voted 32-22 in favor.  Feinstein didn't vote.
Here are the 22 nays.

2 of the nays (Harkin and Levin) are retiring, but the others up this year were all re-elected. Peters voted for in the House. So the Democrats in the next Senate will be 25-20 in favor.

Blumenthal (D-CT)
Booker (D-NJ)
Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Franken (D-MN)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Harkin (D-IA)
Hirono (D-HI)
Klobuchar (D-MN)
Levin (D-MI)
Manchin (D-WV)
Markey (D-MA)
McCaskill (D-MO)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Merkley (D-OR)
Reed (D-RI)
Sanders (I-VT)
Tester (D-MT)
Warren (D-MA)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
Wyden (D-OR)

I would like to take this moment to apologize to Colleen Hanabusa. She may not have supported gay marriage until it was politically convenient, she may have tried to primary Patsy Mink, but at least she stood up against big business this week. I was her biggest attacker on this forum, and with this vote today, she's proven that I supported the wrong candidate int his race.

[Morning in Atlas]

It's honestly a little shocking when my first reactions to this bill are "Come on, even Manchin doesn't think this is a good idea" and "Inouye was right". A little random, but f**k it. I'm in the process of losing what little attachment I had to the Democratic Party.

Oh god, now even Brian Schatz isn't far left enough

I just said Schatz was more socially liberal than Hanabusa. Read my sh*t before you take shots at me.
