Some Senators worry about a baby on the Senate floor


Kasie Hunt ‏@kasie
Orrin Hatch wonders what if there are ten babies on the floor

Pat Roberts wonders why Duckworth can’t vote from the (non-ADA-accessible) cloakroom

Some privately wonder what would happen if Duckworth needed to (GASP) breastfeed

OH, THE HUMANITY

I worry about all those old white men on the floor. Nothing specific, just old white men. Look where our country is, no specifics need be cited.

GOP: We’re pro-life! It’s a child not a choice!

Also GOP: Keep your filthy baby off the Senate floor we have cages in the basement.

that of course is her choice to do whatever she feels comfortable with. But wouldn't it be great to show those white entitled misogynists that breasts are not just meant to jiggle for men's sexy-time entertainment? Am I too weird, or what?

who want to be in the middle of every woman’s reproductive decisions. They’d criticize her if she took maternity leave or didn’t take leave, breastfed or didn’t breastfeed, hired a nanny or didn’t hire one, voted with a baby in her lap or voted from the coat room. Face it...nothing she does will be “right” as far as they’re concerned. Idiots.

a cartoon of the fucking moron visiting the Senate. I think there are many babies already on the Senate floor and some of them are in their 70s! Boo-fucking-hoo!

at the insanity of a bunch of old men who want to control women's reproductive lives, yet bitch about having to be around babies.

Reports ?

Do they worry about Russian spies being in the white house ?

Do they worry about family members of the presidentand others without security clearance having access to classified info ?

It is only a matter of time before some aging pederast takes out his dick.

Sorry for the crudity but after a day like I had today I am always reminded how much I hate these hypocritical bastards.
