The Kingdom Of Congress
.
Tacky!
(John Conyers is actually aware that we have a constitution?)
.
No, he is not. 👎🤬
Conyers lives, exists, eats, travels on my dime. He is responsible to me, the taxpayer,
from whom he eats and lives.
There is no such thing as an
immunity, unless he is a thief, a
corrupter and liar.
Ah, yes, the “Don’t you know who I am? “ defense. haha.
Stop this crap
His posts are titled as semi-satire. He is one of the best satirists on FR. Satire is not fake news.
Is it real? No
It is fake news bull crap
Although this is satire-
I would not be surprised if other congress critters do not claim same immunity for their indiscretions
Does breech of the pants count?
What is real is the acts and ban deeds of John Conyers.
Setting the story on the saterical tee-ball pedestle is a worthwhile effort.
Then charge him for “breach of peace”. I would think the women who claim he wronged them would say that their peace of mind and life have been breached.
To draw that conclusion, you first have to prove that it is news.
Go for it.
Everything he adds is Fake News, almost by definition.
I appreciate satire, but I disdain FAKE NEWS.
Almost every satire since the beginning of time entails an effort to portray a hidden or unacknowledged reality. Inevitably this leads to exaggeration or extension of the target’s remarks or a projection of what he is really thinking.
The so-called “real news” also contains exaggerations, extensions, and projections. Satire is merely a more honest way of making a point than most of what you read or see from “news” outlets.
Your notion that there is a distinct line between reality and satire is mistaken. Setting yourself up as the arbiter of what is news and what is not overestimates your grasp of reality.
The fact that he’s the most tenured Congressman having served in Congress for 53 years proves his worth. The people in his district have voted him back 26 times since 1965, which means they don’t care about silly little sideshow distractions.
He is also the oldest serving member of the CBC, a group that was founded to ensure that gay, transgender, bi-sexual, hispanic, females and people of color serving in Congress have the same rights as other Congressmen.
Besides, $27,000 is a pittance - an amount that a person would negotiate as severance pay even if no allegations were made. [they actually did argue the previous sentence in response to the news].
It is tagged as satire. He is a great satirist. Read his posts over the years they are very clever and funny - it is so hard to tell truth from sarcasm these days because there is so much absurdity presented as sincerity. I want him to continue posting his work here.
Nope. You are wrong.
