[quote]Washington (CNN) – Amid all the chaos of the last-minute deal in Washington, there was an unusual moment on the House floor moments after the bill passed.
A House stenographer and well-known employee calmly took to a microphone and began screaming.
[B]"Do not be deceived. God shall not be mocked. A House divided cannot stand,"[/B] she said, according to a House GOP aide. After a few seconds, she was escorted out by the Sergeant-at-Arms, but an audio recording by Todd Zwillich of Public Radio International captured the rest of her rant.
[B]"He will not be mocked, He will not be mocked, (don't touch me) He will not be mocked. The greatest deception here, is that this is not one nation under God. It never was. Had it been... it would not have been... No. it would not have been... the Constitution would not have been written by Free Masons... and go against God. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, Lord Jesus Christ."[/B]
House members and aides were surprised and unsettled by the scene.
"I don't know, she just snapped," said a GOP aide.[/quote]

There has been a malfunction.
A maintenance ticket has been filed and you will expect repairs to be carried out in the next 40-70 years.
Well at least it was just the stenographer instead of someone with power, otherwise that would have been embarrassing

And then it turns out the repair technicians are the kind of incompetent where they just fall asleep on your couch, and charge by the hour for it.
I guess she's right about the "A house divided cannot stand" part, but the rest is just lunatic shit.
How horrifying
Take a long, hard look at that, Republicans. You're sliding towards that.
Glad to see all sides were unsettled by this display.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in her short hand notes, the name Obama is prefixed with Anti-Christ von Satan.

I thought the popular go-to name was "The Athiest Muslim Unholiness, Obongo Bin Laden."

And then they review movies and drink beer when they're supposed to be fixing your shit.
I guess to much exposure to congress can mess with your head.

To be fair, I'd probably crack up, go on a rant and get thrown out too if I had to sit and take notes of all the stupid shit that's been said in there over those 16 days. The difference would just be the topic of the rant.
Are you sure you didn't get this from The Onion?

Glad we're in agreement over something.

Where you disagree is that to her is that she thinks that is a problem.
Welp, she was obviously possessed by a higher power to foreshadow the oncoming Armageddon.
No one who is extremely religious should have any place near that microphone.

She had a fucking mental breakdown and you heartless fucks are laughing at her.

Then why the hell isn't rest of Congress incarcerated in a mental institution yet?

There was a video on youtube about it, I don't remember the name.
"You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, Lord Jesus Christ"
Huh.

I saw it reported by NPR last night, and they're usually reliable.
Oh, we saw this in a thread on Wednesday but we couldn't figure out what she was saying.

Because somebody has hallucinations of god that means their mental health crisis is suddenly a thing to be laughed at? Really?

Yes.

Did she seriously just fucking say that.
If it's wrong to laugh at the mentally unwell, I don't want to be right.
