I'm going to fucking scream

[Merv]

Look at that, it's all Republicans! These people are an embarrassment to the country.

[Archangel125]

Haha, good luck, fuckers.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51827922]Why and how will this not pass?[/QUOTE]

Because whether Democrat or Republican, most voters will be staunchly against this. To support it is tantamount to political suicide - watch the noise it'll make.

Please don't give them luck too; they already have more than enough means to pass this PoS.

[MissingGlitch]

As a Texan. I apologize that our state has a lot of people like this.

[PiddlezMcFuzz]

Ban the GOP

Actually, though

[Raidyr]

Shit like this is why that while I think the Democrats are generally pretty bad and shady, the Republicans just always manage to be worse

[Sableye]

i bet they have a lovely spin about how this protects consumers too

I think what it boils down to is while both the dems and republicans are corrupt and shitty, one of them is at least polite about their corrupt shittyness and pretend to give a shit at least, while the other is a bunch of comic book villain tier assholes who don't even pretend to give a shit about anything but their own interests and wallets.

I bet they'll name it the freedom patriot business act or something.

[Solo Wing]

I would like to introduce H.R. 9001 or the "GOP can get the fuck out of the law making business" act.

Name is still a work in progress.

[Hans PK]

This just in: Republican lawmakers spotted cackling maniacally, stroking white Persian cats. More at: the foreseeable future.

First time in a while I haven't felt the need to apologize for Hoosiers. [sp] Just kidding, can't stop until Pence is out of DC[/sp]

What century is this again? 19th right? For fucks sake....

[Zenreon]

Can the government just be the internet already. It was funny the first year, but the joke is getting old now. I am tired of the onion universe.

If they don't get it this time, they'll just weasel it into some "must-pass" bill down the road, get it silently passed, and take a biiig whiff of their socks when they go home that day.
