House approves $1T spending bill to fund the Government to the end of the year - The Hill

This bill includes funding to Train Syrian Rebels and to fight Ebola - it was bi-partisan, has the support of the White House and is expected to pass the Senate.

I'm not an Obama hater, but this EFFING SUCKS!! Has it ever worked out for the US in the longterm when we go and give Muslims weapons?? WHY WHY WHY do we keep giving these people weapons when they usually end up turning them on us sometime down the road?? And I'm so SICK of our government continually arming people that we will probably end up fighting a few years from now.

This is the kind of crap that I wish the US would stop doing because it will always eventually bite us in the a$$ but there's so many warmongers in our government like that rat f**k John McCain that this will never stop. And its amazing that even after all the crap that McCain has stirred up all these years that he's still able to hold office in our government. So damn sad.

The ebola funding was a common sense thing.

Arming folks...shrug....its not like we're handing them nuclear weapons, long range bombers, or naval vessels. The middle east is going to remain fubared, and thats unlikely to change either way. Sooo...not sure if I care.

Our executive branch really doesn't have that much power to be honest. The bloated military industrial complex however is a pretty serious threat.

Mitch Mcconnell in his groveling to the Koch brothers ( rhymes with crotch) promised genocidal austerity on the American people.

A bipartisan action for more war. This is why the two sides working together is a bad thing.

Give me gridlock any day.
