I'm actually pretty shocked that Congress is so dysfunctional right now. Usually when there is imperialism to be done they can't move fast enough to deliver another 50 billion dollars to the latest war criminal we're aligned with and save all the gridlock bullshit for when the proles get uppity and ask for something.

I was surprised by this as well, I was sure that funding the wars would be the overriding priority that would result in bipartisan action. An yet, it's still an utter clusterfuck.
