“Come on, R party leadership....get to work on the big crisis issues that really threaten the future of America or America’s economy, jobs, defenses, allies, and yes, try to restore legitimacy in WashDC while you’re at it, ok?

Penis pumps?

really!”

It’s only a half a billion dollars. You seem OK with that.

No matter who gets the penis pumps, it’s the taxpayers who get *****ed.

Bill pills and penis pumps are always found as spam...my sons get it in their email.

We (wife and I) tell them that girls are more interested in other things than the size...

Forgive my impeccable logic, but with an 18 trillion-dollar debt, we have no business paying either for penis pumps or tax breaks for the disabled. In fact, we really don’t have any business paying for most of this social spending crap.

Combined PING! and DANG!

I still don’t need a pump. I do need, however, a loaded gun to my head.

i’m not okay with a half billion spent on penis punps

but i’d compromise and let them pump themselves up to their hearts’ delight.... if they’d only fix what really ails America

IMHO, just my opinion

“if they’d only fix what really ails America”

That is one of the things that ails America. They throw around half a billion dollars like it is pocket change with no consequence. A billion here, a billion there and pretty quick it starts adding up to real money.
