Shout out to the three things that have been my highlights of this sit-in (aside from the obvious): C-Span getting mad ratings and having people possibly utter the phrase, “Sorry, I’m tired because I was up all night watching C-Span.” for the first time ever. Periscope being used to subvert the House cameras being…

Oh, no doubt, they want to force the republicans and conservative democrats to vote on these bills so that there is a record that they can use as a cudgel to beat their head with during election season. I for one is happy to use GOP tactics against the GOP. I want to see ads like “why is representative so and so for…

That’s people realizing politeness is only getting people more dead and threatened by the rule of a fascist cheeto.

“The House is currently a complete circus a manifestation of the Constitution's rural bias."

Would it be inappropriate, given the circumstances, if we took up a collection to get Rep. Duckworth one of those prosthetic machine gun legs from that Grindhouse movie?

Democrats? Raising hell? Using social media? Drowning out the speaker?

Good for them, fuck the non-response from the republicans. The bill may be shit as it is but making them vote on it will give everyone an idea on where the representatives stand on it. It's time to hold them accountable

Why am I not surprised that Tammy Duckworth is, again, being a total badass?

As a Pittsburgher, this woman is completely infuriating. She had been posting holier-than-thou Facebook posts for a very long time prior to this incident, and I was happy that the station finally took action after this horribly racist and excruciating post.

We’ve got bucket loads of TRAP laws too. This asshole and his slimy Attorney General have spent the last however many years doing nothing but signing gun rights laws, TRAP laws, fighting LGBTQ equality and civil liberties and fighting ACA and refusing federal funding for health care and infrastructure improvements.…

Actually most of us do that every time we see him.on tekevision.

Well, he’s right: The Second Amendment is a group of words, so it didn’t kill anyone. However, the excessively loose interpretation of those words and the NRA ass-kissing by government officials definitely has contributed to the deaths in Orlando, Sandy Hook, and so on.

I’m going to let fellow user Tally take this one:

Seriously, I’m pretty sure senior citizens are the only active voters in Florida. Because they have nothing else to do. Hence a shit-tool like Scott winning. And why Bush got Stand Your Ground passed. Because of old-people fear.

Regarding snowbirds, I don’t think it will impact their tourism to this state. Many (definitely not all) of the people who retire here are old and white. And “old and white” is basically the GOP’s motto.

Shit like this is why I am so FUCKING DONE trying to be “reasonable” and “compromise” with people about the 2nd Am. FUCK OFF. Ban guns. I don’t give a shit if it’s not a “practical” position or what-fuck-ever. Your fucking hobby/fetish is not worth more than people’s lives.

God I fucking hate him so much.
