It is basically for show, but if Congress goes on recess before they pass the budget, or a continuing resolution, it does affect a lot of people.

What kind of gerrymandered nonsense is this district?

Are they really? Or is that something people say because they want to believe it’s true?

Part of the problem is we don’t actually teach people how to sift useful, verifiable data from the river of noise that is the internet, either. People don’t have even a basic understanding of how research works, and so can’t figure out when a study is bogus. Figuring out what’s real on the internet is a full-time job,…

Fun story: thinking you have been “educated to think critically” makes you more susceptible to all of those things, which are cognitive biases all humans share. It’s why the intelligent and educated are more susceptible to cult recruitment.

It doesn’t matter that there isn’t anything of substance in the videos. This is ACORN 2.0. Absolutely nothing illegal has been shown in the videos. People may be talking nonchalantly/crassly about their positions/institution, but there was never anything illegal shown. All that was needed was to get someone to speak…

Hydrogen peroxide will get those stains out, if it doesn't work the first time just don't run the House through the dryer and add another splash of hydrogen peroxide before the next wash. I've never had to do it more than twice but it's always been regular stains, not rage stains.

Oh, I think they know the truth — they just choose to ignore it for rhetoric and to try to fool the masses.

Oh, lordy—I just peeked at the tweets directed toward PP. These people are so damned dumb. They don’t understand our system of government at all. Even if it did pass the Senate, which it won’t, it would be vetoed with no chance of an override. They don’t know how hollow their victory is. Rubes.

Yeah, and they do it intentionally. They ignore facts and try to drown out the voice of reason because without the bullshit we see the true intent - oppressing women. They can cry about the ‘babehs’ all day, but we know. If women can’t control their reproduction, it’s a huge step backwards for us. And particularly if…

Did anyone EVER bother to verify the heavily edited videos, or can I just send in some sort of inflammatory clip and get it investigated? Does anyone have that mailing address? Jesus fuck.

We don’t teach critical thinking. Ever paid attention to how many people will cut across three lanes of traffic at the last minute to make a right hand turn rather than just go around a block?

It’s fucking astonishing isn’t it?

While the rest of us are all distracted by deciding who’s in the running to be President, these lackluster morons are still well-aware that they’re going to have to defend their seats in 2016, and it’ll be good to have a story to tell the folks back home about how they really, really tried to get rid of those…

Does it look like I know how your shit works? SURE. EVERYWHERE. I’LL JUST DO IT EVERWHERE.

It’s gonna be the Oddly-rust-colored, nothing-gets-the-stains-out, can’t-wear-this-on-dates-anymore House after you’re through.

Pssst, the House of Representatives hangs out at the Capitol building, not the White House.

It’s really scary how we live in the age of easy access to information, but people still operate using incorrect information.

I’m wondering about the Republican dissenters, myself. Maybe all hope isn’t lost for that party. If Republicans were smart, they’d put more funding into PP to maximally avoid abortions, and if they ACTUALLY have an issue with harvesting of fetus organs for the advancement of medical science, let’s have a public…

WHO ARE THE TWO DEMOCRATIC DISSENTERS WHO I ASK
