This guy is a one-trick pony.
Have to oath in a Democrat who will trigger a vote his master doesn't like? Send everyone home!
Files that incriminates his master are being released? Send everyone home!
This tactic is getting old already.

I wish I got so many days off...
No shit! Same… add to that the best healthcare, transportation, and a personal assistant.
Pension too if you can last long enough
Pension for them is like 5 years or something absurd like that.
A pension is available to members 62 years of age with 5 years of service; 50 years or older with 20 years of service; or 25 years of service at any age. A reduced pension is available depending upon which of several different age/service options is chosen. If Members leave Congress before reaching retirement age, they may leave their contributions behind and receive a deferred pension later.[1]
That's actually a pretty standard public service pension schedule.
Mine had me vesting in 5 years, but the contributions at that point aren't high enough to mean much. It just means that if if I didn't make it 5 years the city wouldn't contribute to my retirement ( I put in 7 and the coty double-matches, so I get 21%). When I hit 5 years, I retroactively got the 14% from the city for my previous 5 years added to my pension. If I had quit before the 5 years, I'd have been given my 7% back as a cash payment after 5 years away from public service.
But I can't collect until I reach retirement age or have 20 years of service.
It’s easy when special interests are paying you for NOT working. Sweet gig.
Dems should release more pics right when they come back.
lol. I love it. Keep a reserve of photos and keep trickling them out when the new cycle dies down.
Wait, there's a person named Noam Chomsky?
I've heard the name said on the news before but was never listening.
Isn't that the name of the gnome in the carnival campaign of Left 4 Dead 2?
Yes, the person was named after the gnome.
Common misconception, the person was named after Nim Chimpsky, the famous chimpanzee from the Columbia a University ASL study.
He has to be a pedo.
The guy that shares details around jerking off with his son. Totally normal.
You're saying it's a compulsion? Possibly so. Or maybe he's just a knowingly evil child rapist.
The epstein files are inevitable at this point and republicans are already getting marching orders for how to do damage control.
Mad props to AOC and I get why she wants to keep that in the cultural zeitgeist ahead of... tomorrow. But this is very much about house republicans breaking with johnson/doing token "See, I am one of the good ones" votes to override him on obamacare extensions and preventing trump from bombing Venezuela to distract from the epstein files.
It may also effectively kill the discharge petition for the 3-year extension of ACA subsidies vote.
I guess it's the land of the free after all if you can fuck a bunch of children and still be president
Are we gonna see the naughty list soon?
Is the idea that he knows the justice dept is going to delay, and if the house isn’t in session, they can’t do anything?
I wonder if the Republican voters recognize this is literally protecting pedophiles. There’s no way around it.
He sent everyone home because of the discharge petition for ACA. Epstein was coming anyway, this is about ripping healthcare away from millions. Which in Mike's own words....."It's only 7% of the country"
Wow, I don't know about you guys, but I've come to the end of my attention span. I guess there was never anything to see there after all, right?
Are there any conservatives out there that can tell us why you worship a pedophile?
We lack the will.
Kinda, although I fully agree with everything else you said. Collective action is really difficult even when the government isn't running COINTELPRO-like operations on anyone who tries to organize anything like a mass protest. For an example of the challenge of collective action, think about how hard it is to get your group of close friends to agree on which restaurant to go to and when. And that's when everyone wants to hang out together, with nobody intentionally mucking up the works.
If we can overcome the "internal" hurdles to collective action, we can take back the country.
Pretty sure there’s at least a couple other steps involved, though
Okay, so . . . now!
. . . Wait, where tf were y’all?
If you don't pay tribute, the Boss will send some muscle to make you hand over the protection money.
A lot of the shit people complain about that they use as an excuse to not get involved could be solved if they got involved.
I personally don't get why people pay for music. You can just listen to Taylor Swift's albums on YouTube
You know some people don’t mind supporting creators of things they enjoy. People also don’t mind spending a small sum of money to enjoy things without getting an ad every 30 seconds.
I can do that for free too. I can also pay for music that isn't shitty after listening to it to support actually good musicians, coincidentally none of them being billionaires.
Someone’s financial status has no bearing on whether they make good music or not. Are you really gonna tell someone else what they can and can’t do in their free time? What are you a Trump supporter?
since when does not being a billionaire apologist-bootlicker make you a trump supporter?
You Trump supporters like telling people what they can and can’t do with their own bodies. It doesn’t surprise me you want to control people’s free time too.
dude I still don't know where you are getting that from. I never said anything remotely about controlling anything or anyone. and I'm no trump supporter. I'd kill him and all his dipshit cronies with a rusty spoon if I could get away with it.
Since we are making assumptions, are you a rabid swiftie that got mad that I implied her music was shit? I stand by that. She has like one non irritating song and its decent at best. If only that whole thing about swifties getting mad at trump and voting him out went anywhere I'd have stopped talking shit a long time ago but apparently even her fans suck.
I think this is so there can be no council sessions that might be discussing the obviously over-censored and incomplete dataset released tomorrow before the GOP can sit their butts on billionaire owned media networks (hint: all of them are billionaire owned now) and give the idiots who listen to them their opinions.
I was promised all the epstein files today. Who do I call and complain to?
We got them, hundreds of pages blacked out completely redacted. It is absolutely ridiculous
Edit: for those who are curious.
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%203/EFTA00005586.pdf
This has to be a joke, right? But the .gov domains are reserved in us for actual government agencies, right? So what the fuck
I am sure they have some good "rationale" for redacting what looks to be a significant portion of grand jury testimony. Of course the administration did say they would release them, but probably back tracked or they are "protecting" the victims.
I personally think it is bullshit. They are handling it like top secret stuff. The President clearly has the authority to release this considering his current MO. It is a giant middle finger to the public.
I'm sure he's going to run home to Louisiana and explain why he's blocking ACA subsidies
When he sends everyone home, they just aren't doing committees and votes?
Can't they stay and still do things that help their districts or prep for when they are back in session? They can still work. They are still getting paid.
Hey, he’s gotta go murder a few more twinks. That basement’s not gonna fill itself up, ya know.
at this point, we need to form an alternative socialist government of the united states as a micronation. seriously!
This is fascism. They'll always win.
Fascism wins until good men go to war. Then they fold
