Our only chance to avoid default is unanimous consent

in the Senate. Otherwise the Senate can't vote until Friday. So we are probably going to fuck up our credibility, standing and credit overseas because Ted Cruz is a fucktard? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not forgiving you, Texas.

This whole thing has me so on edge. I fucking LOATHE the Tea Party.

[isabel]

I just can't even process any of this shit anymore. I want to cry.

[swagger]

Please don't blame all of Texas for Cruz. A lot of us don't like him either.

I think we've already fucked up our credibility with the rest of the world.

[VillainV]

Yeah, I think between the sequester and the shutdown, our overseas credibility is shot. And I really wish our politicians would stop playing chicken with the world economy and the livelihoods of millions. Because this shit is getting ridiculous.

It's a continuum which we are sinking further and further down.

Right now we are like the kid who dropped out of college to follow her boyfriend to a commune. By next week, we'll have a meth problem and be turning tricks for skittles.

Not gonna happen. I still cannot believe that elected officials would be so unabashedly greedy and myopic. They used to at least have the good graces to feign civility and goodwill.

They used to yes.  I've lost all faith in these chucklefucks.

Why is the tea party so powerful? That's what I want to know.

NO SKITTLES FOR POOR PEOPLE.

I can't believe this is real life. I am half seriously sure that we're all being punked.
And the other half is in disbelief that we haven't DONE something yet. I'm expecting violence very soon. And I can't decide if I'm more relieved that it hasn't happened yet, or horribly, awful-persony disappointed that we're apparently all that apathetic that we're just going to let this happen.
Well that turned into something flameful.
Someone tell me you know what I mean. I don't want a revolution or war or anything.
BUT SOMEONE STAND UP FOR SOMETHING.
