Teabaggers throw a temper tantrum, they want their shutdown of DHS

Un-freakin’-believable. The only reason we can’t get a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill done is because of the Tea Party Caucus in the House, and a cowardly Weeper of the House, John Boehner, who cannot — or will not — throw these reckless and irresponsible teabaggers under the bus and use Democratic votes to pass it.

The Hill reports, House GOP huddles to decide next move in shutdown fight:

House Republicans are preparing a series of stopgap proposals to keep the Homeland Security Department running in the event that Congress can’t reach an agreement on a longer-term funding bill before Saturday’s deadline.

The GOP conference gathered at 5 p.m. to discuss their options, with 31 hours to prevent a shutdown of the agency.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) said he didn’t know how long the continuing resolution (CR) for Homeland Security funding would last. A vote could be as soon as Friday, he said.

The Senate is expected to vote no later than Friday on a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through September. The Senate bill will not include language reversing President Obama’s executive actions on immigration despite objections from House Republicans.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday offered no indication that he will bring the Senate bill to the floor, and the stopgap measures being drafted by Rep. John Carter (R-Texas), chairman of the Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee, could give him some wiggle room.

Carter declined to say precisely how long GOP leaders might push to extend short-term funding if a broader deal isn’t reached, but predicted it would be “less than a month.”

The Texas Republican, an author of the House-passed DHS funding proposal, said he’d prefer to pass a clean bill extending the agency’s funding through September.

Such legislation would likely win approval in the House, but only with the votes of Democrats. A whip count by The Hill of House Republican votes on a “clean” measure funding the Homeland Security agency suggests the vote would divide House Republicans.

Oh, boo-freakin’ hoo! These teabaggers are reckless and irresponsible children. They behave like a toddler with the terrible threes throwing a hissy fit temper tantrum.

Has anyone explained to these incorrigibles that they already have a lawsuit in court challenging President Obama’s executive orders on immigration (DAPA), and that this is the appropriate forum in which to hash out this dispute?

These teabaggers who keep taking our government hostage and demanding ransom that they get their way or they will hold their breath until they turn blue are insurrectionists and economic terrorists who need to be driven out of government for good. Their conduct is unacceptable and un-American.

Even Rep. Carter’s stopgap continuing resolution (CR) is opposed by the Tea Party Caucus. “Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho), a Tea Party favorite and co-founder of the new conservative Freedom Caucus, said he didn’t think a CR could get through the House.” “Why would we punt if we don’t have a plan?” he said.Because this is what responsible governance requires, asshole.

UPDATE: Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) told reporters this afternoon, “We really, as a governing party, we got to fund DHS, and say to the House, ‘Here’s a straw so you can suck it up.'”
