Repugs War on (poor) Vaginas continues
House Republicans used the sit-in to vote on a Zika bill that targeted Planned Parenthood
Ryan held some procedural votes on when the House would reconvene to vote on emergency funding to address the Zika virus. The votes were held at 2:30 am, and the Zika bill passed.
It was a surreal moment, the likes of which Washington insiders say they’ve never seen. But the actual content of that Zika bill, which passed the House, really was business as usual for congressional Republicans: it conditioned government funding for women’s health on excluding Planned Parenthood.

Good for them.
Fuck the GOP. They have turned into a bunch of cowards afraid to stand up to the NRA, and have blood on their hands.
I hope they keep it up, and fully support them.

If breaking a law against cell phones on the house floor is what it takes to get the cowards in Congress to stand up for average Americans... who the fuck cares?

Yeah between Pelosi, Schumer, Wasserman, Reid and Obama I cannot support the Democratic party even if I like the GOP less.
Case by case is the only way and there isn't much to like at all.

Re: A Sit-In on the House Floor Over Gun Control
A sit in honestly feels cute when Barack, with above 52% approval ratings, wont say radical islam.
Control guns. Give conservatime Muslims a rick called the USA to cling to. Seems obvious to me..

It would not work out well.
It is also very silly to think that even makes sense. You are therefore a silly person.
Please read what a slippery slope logical fallacy is, and stop being silly.

Your concern is flawed, because that is not even close to what I am, or would advocate, nor is it even likely.
