Congressional Seats Sell for Record Four Billion Dollars
Congressional seats are on pace to fetch a whopping four billion dollars on Tuesday night, a record-smashing sales figure that has exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic insiders.
The seats, which include four hundred and thirty-five in the House of Representatives and thirty-six in the Senate, have attracted buyers from a broad spectrum of industries, including investment banking, energy, pharmaceutical, and gun.
“With all of the uncertainty in the world today, the United States Congress is considered a very safe place for the rich to invest their money,” said Charles Michollot, of the auction house Sotheby’s.
“Congressional seats are like Manhattan real estate—they aren’t making any more of them.”
But Anton Pickardin, of the rival auction house Christie’s, sounds more skeptical. “I hate to be a wet blanket, but these sales figures lack rhyme and reason,” Pickardin said.
“When someone is willing to pay millions of dollars for a pre-owned Mitch McConnell, you know that people have lost their minds.”
But Sotheby’s Michollot remains confident that, even at these hefty prices, congressional seats are a wise investment. “When these seats go up for sale again, in 2016, four billion dollars is going to look like a bargain,” he said.

Time for Obama to go full with the vetoes. And people thought congress was useless his first 6 years.
On the plus side we'll surely see Bizarro Boutons aka Yonivore back tonight.
lol electrical college
What kind o legislation can they get through the senate without a filibuster proof majority (i.e. Through reconciliation)?
Heard a great idea, that mid terms should be abolished, all elections only every 4 years. mid terms are a horrible distraction, time wasting, but of course, the Repugs don't GAF, they don't want to govern anyway, haven't since criminal Nixon. Non-stop grovelling for corrupt $Ms, non-stop campaigning is obviously a lot more fun and exciting the governing.
The Pres campaign and starts tomorrow morning. Repugs will have the usual collection of clowns, jerks, assholes
reconciliation only applies to budgetary stuff, I think. Repugs in 2001 pushed through their tax cuts for the wealthy (themselves) in 2001 only through reconciliation.

I don't think Repugs can push through slavery for the blacks with reconciliation, nor replace the Cons ution with the Bible and 10 Commandments, but the Christian Taliban theocrats will try.
^ did you vote?
I voted for Kodos
"Because... you"
Nono man, we're losing. How's Obama gonna pay our gas and our rent with a teabagger congress?
those guys are genocide-supporting gots
i'm not really a fan of the GOP but
Ummmm....
I thought the Democrats were turning Texas purple by 2020?
They are getting worse and worse election results with each election.
What a ing blood bath tonight.
this whole election is a bloodbath
Yeghpire, c'mon, you and I both know you'd Ana Kasparian given the chancethose guys are genocide-supporting gots
i'm not really a fan of the GOP but
Also lol Wendy Davis, lol Abortion Barbie, and lol Buttons
i don't have a hatred towards all turks... but the name "the young turks" is what irks me. its like having a podcast called "the nazi germans"
They weren't the nigs who killed our peeps (young Turks tried to reform the ottomans) but I hear ya.
Also, I didn't realize ole horse face had such nice Mt. Arrarats
It probably won't happen by 2020, but I actually do see it happening down the line. It'd be a mistake to draw the conclusion from this midterm election that Texas can never swing in the other direction. Demographic shifts take time to percolate.
breh...
- The atrocities committed against the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire during WWI are defined as the Armenian Genocide. Those massacres were perpetrated throughout different regions of the Ottoman Empire by the Young Turkish Government which was in power at the time
Texas could still turn blue once Hussein rolls up the Cons ution to snort a rail and signs amnesty. that would be the most likely way instead of trying to win Texans over with liberal beliefs.
