Everything is going on the table.


Not only is their no negotiation, he isn't going to even get the respect of a reply, just a place on the table.


Well played Senator Reid, well played.

Posting images on DU costs exactly as much as posting cryptic questions in response.

This:

...is not a symbol of celebration. It's right below the image in the OP.



I'm writing on your behalf right now. Quote from the rough:

A couple million people will wake up tomorrow not knowing when they will see their next paycheck. FHA loans for people looking to buy a home are on hold, as there won’t be anyone at FHA to process the loans, because the housing market isn’t important to the economy or anything. Medical research at the NIH is officially on hold, because screw you if you’re sick. The FDA won’t be doing most of their routine food safety inspections, so eat up if you dare, unless you’re poor, because food assistance programs like WIC are going to take a big hit. Oh, and buckle your hardhat on extra tight on Tuesday, because occupational safety and health inspectors will be sitting on their couches waiting for word on when they can go back to work again.



Hang in there, my friend.
