re: #132 Targetpractice
On further review, it’s not simply a CYA bill. It’s also a way for the GOP to now declare that, should the shutdown go past the cut-off date for military pay, that Senate Democrats are the ones preventing our troops from being paid.
So it’s another We Want It Both Ways bill, then. The GOP gets to play the obstructionist assholes again, shut down the government, and when they don’t get their way immediately, they get to cry that they tried to pay the troops but the mean Democrats wouldn’t let them.
Fuck these assholes sideways.
