Sunday

and having a hard time thinking straight right now...yeah, I know, rage is not the best background for clear tactical (much less, strategic) thinking...I'm particularly pissed that both Nevadans in the Senate are good with this...these are not the kind of folks I was trying to support while a county chair of D's in one of the "cow counties" NV back in the late 1990s...
...personal note here, MCE: former FMF HM here...after 10 years enlisted (3 in the FMF; worked in one clinic down the block from 3rd CE Bn at Hansen), took a line commission and was a ship driver for 13 yrs...safe travels in your rig and enjoy your next down time...cheers, OSD

Does this legislation have to be returned to the House? I don't recall the House agreeing on the terms passed by the in2herbs Sunday #4

Because it differs from the House version, it returns to the House, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #5

So, if the House doesn't agree with the Senate's version the Senate's version of this legislation won't in2herbs Sunday #6

Correct, but you just know that the repigs don't give a flying fuck about what's good for the country, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #7

Just doing some quick research, the House-passed version of the CR expires on 11/21. With no CR the govt must in2herbs Monday #8

Every single surrendering Dem Senator... flying-skeleton Monday #9
