Our long national nightmare of tedious, repetitive political news coverage of the debt ceiling bill negotiations and all that shit is finally over, as the House officially passed HR 3746 by 314 to 117 on Wednesday night. The bill now heads to the Senate, where its passage later this week or early next is likely a mere formality given Minority Leader Moscow Mitch’s endorsement. By party, 165 Dems voted yes to 46 no, while among Republicans it was 149 yes to 71 no, with 3 absent each. Note this was a GOP-sponsored bill and more Dems voted for it than Republicans. Goddamned jackasses.
