When Republicans Say Bipartisanship,
They Mean Surrender

Repeal the 17th Admt. and bring the Senators home
and (rigidly) held accountable the !0th Admt.

How in the hell do they do this while “working” in congress?

I hope that's a rhetorical question, but just it case it isn't, here's how:

1. Campaign contributions -- plenty of loopholes so they get to keep all of what they don't use for campaigns. They also can give each other campaign donations. Cute, huh?!

2. Their own political action committees.

3. Insider information.

4. Kickbacks.

5. Outright bribes.

6. Big salaries, benefits, per deims and expense reimbursements.

7. Tax breaks/deductions they enact for themselves.

8. Automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments.

I could go on,but you get the idea.

Out here, we call Treasure Island "Pelosi Island."

After threatening the Navy with confiscating the island if they don't sell the island on the cheap to San Francisco, Pelosi's family constuction business landed the redevelopment contract for Treasure Island.

What’s the point of being a powerful Congressman if you can’t figure out how to get rich from it?

Insider trading.

Passing laws that benefit their foreign investments, like Dianne Feinstein shutting down American steel industry so her steel mills in china can manufacture the steel for the San Francisco Bay bridge rebuild.

But the question is, can she take it with her where she is going or can she spend it all while she is here?

Bipartisanship actually has two definitions:

When a Democrat says it, it means: “You surrender”
When a Republican says it, it means: “We surrender”

Members of Congress are actually exempt from insider trading laws. Unfortunately, I’m being dead serious and not joking.

An interesting statistic is that Black families’ average net worth fell by half between 2005 and 2010 at the same time as Nancy Pelosi’s net worth tripled.

Why are the wealthy in favor of raising taxes?

Because they already have lots of money.

Dont worry, like all lib elites who feel they need to pay more in taxes, she is going to donate a very large percentage of her “good fortune” to lower the deficit. ;)

agree...when negotiating w/ Russians:...
"What's Mine is Mine
What's Ours is Mine
What's Yours is negotiable."

(even if that's means nil)
