And for their next tantrum, they’ll hold their breath until they turn blue
House democrats stage a sit in to protest their failure to infringe on constitutionally protected freedoms:
“Lawmakers are grouped in the well of the chamber, in front of the speaker’s dais and in chairs in the front row,” NPR’s Sue Davis reports. “Some members are literally sitting on the floor of the House.”
When the House was gaveled back into session a little after noon, Rep. Ted Poe, a Republican from Texas who was speaker pro tempore at the time, was shouted down by members.
“No bill, no break,” they chanted. The House is scheduled to break on Sunday, and Democrats are demanding a vote on two bills before they go: one that bars anyone on the no-fly list from buying a firearm and another that broadens background checks for firearm purchases.
I hope they had enough pacifiers and blankets to share.

The House has means of dealing appropriately with this treason. Unfortunately, the Rove Republican swill deign to not use them. Damn every one of them straight to hell where they belong.
And now the sewage wants Rubio to run for his seat in the Senate. Why don’t they just recruit Orange Man? After all, good ol’ Jeb! was quite happy to anoint him as his replacement for governor of Florida a few years ago.
As I said, damn every Rove Republican GD POS straight to hell where they belong.

The Looney Left endlessly calls us Conservatives troublemakers yet who’s the ones that are endlessly causing trouble? Even more so when they don’t get their way.

As long as they are having a sit in, they are not passing anti civil rights bills! Let the sit! I will help pay for carry out meals!

“I will help pay for carry out meals!”
Hell no! Let the turds go hungry. Just lock ’em in there with no access to water, food, toilets, etc. We’d see how determined they truly are if that was done.
