House passes bill to avert shutdown

The House passed legislation on Tuesday night to avert a government shutdown through Dec. 11, sending the bill to the Senate with just eight days left before current federal funding expires.

Lawmakers passed the bill in a bipartisan vote of 359-57 after Democrats earlier Tuesday rekindled negotiations with Republicans that had temporarily stalled due to a dispute over farm aid.

With possibly a lame duck Senate and a lame duck President.

This is an honest question. Does anyone here doubt they will go for total shock and awe when they lose?
