That's not votes on the port bill. The port bill will pass with about a 98% vote for yes.

All I can say is what a Joke!

Did it pass or not? I could have sworn the Senate just said it was voted on. I wont say the result I heard.

the border fence bill was passed - during the speaking about the port security bill - a quorum call was done - and right now they are back to the fence bill

This is absolutely sickening. I've never been more dissapointed in our government in my life.

Is there anything more last minute things we can do at all?

I need many many beers tonight..

Didn't see that but I think he compared it to crack since crack is addicting ...but so can be many other things too! some ppl are addicted to sex/drugs/smoking/fastfood&sugar I mean anything....should we ban all of these things too?

IMO this has nothing to do witn online gambling since they arent going to ban horse race betting and state lotteries...and we all know these are the games that are really gambeling...poker is a skill game and so is blackjack and sporstbetting if you know what you are doing
In fact there should not even be a word 'Internet gambling' there should be only 'gambling' because anyone can go to the internet and loose 100k in 30minutes and you could say that this man has a problem...but that doesn't stop him going to a real casino and losing that same money there

If 90% the ppl enjoy playing poker or other casino games on the internet or wherever without a problem and the rest has a problem with it that doesn't justify banning it.
