Look forward to some of the most clownish legislation ever for two months |
|
I mean the Republicans will try to pass every absurd idea they have ever had before January. It might be funny as long as none of it passes.

1. Be ready to fight for Net Neutrality all over again... |

They know that free & easy communication on the internet is the ONLY thing that squashed their plans for an Empire.... Every authoritarian and outright fascist in the country will make silencing us their FIRST priority!!

Nice use of "Insanity."
I always used to do the: Conrad Burns (R-Enron) thing and it would piss one of my friends off something fierce. :)

5. One small bright spot...the Federal Marriage Amendment is finally dead. |
|
Or the Marriage Protection Amendment or what ever the Republican bigots call it. DeWine, who was a sponsor of it in the Senate last year, is gone, asshole santorum, who championed it, is thankfully gone (again, thank you people of Pennsylvania for removing that shitstain from the United States Senate). And the Democratic majority in the House sure as fuck isn't going to introduce the FMA. So, I'll go out on a limb and say that this thing is finally dead.
I wish I could say the same about state amendments, though.
