That’s a laugh in all our faces.

Let me go get a job at a nice restaurant and say “If they expected me to cook all poultry to 350% before serving it, hahahahahaha, not much food would get out of this kitchen, hahahahaha”.

Wonder how long I’d be employed? And my salary and perks would be far less than this yokel’s.

REVOLT damnit, I’m sick of these lunatics and they care so little, they are LAUGHING and telling you they don’t care about what is happening.

Having “very few votes” is a GOOD thing, IMO

Read ‘em and weep, sucker.

And these are the moronic people, thieves, we put in office.

Oh well I guess that nobody will care until it’s to late and we have no more freedoms and they pass a law that allows them to decide among themselves who they will appoint to office ruling out all voting by the American public.

OR the legislation would be shorter, with a lot less crap in it.

I don't see any downside to either scenario - fewer votes by congress or less onerous bills sent to the President for signature.

This is dereliction of duty and an insult to every American.

Vote these bastards out of office!

Is there any VIDEO of this?

A blatant display of their typical arrogance of power would make and EXCELLENT campaign commercial.

This is attitude of politicians, of both parties, who have more job security than a member of the House of Lords.

Does this mean that Hoyer and his cronies are functionally illiterate?

It’s cool, the Pres__ent doesn’t plan to enforce most of the laws anyway, or uphold the Constitution.

Wouldn’t this be an Impeachable Offense, for violating their oath of office?
They are subvertng our Constitution everyday, and we have to accept their insults?
