Actual title: Democratic Congressmen Accuse Paul Ryan Of Political Stunt For Calling For Vote On THEIR ‘Abolish ICE’ Bill — Say They’ll Vote No


Three Democratic congressmen declared on Thursday that they will vote “no” on their own legislation if House Speaker Paul Ryan puts their bill on the floor.


Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York introduced the Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement Act earlier Thursday, which would abolish ICE within one year of enactment, and also assemble a commission tasked with setting up a new immigration enforcement agency.

The three congressmen promptly released a joint statement accusing Ryan of not taking their bill seriously, and as an act of protest, they will vote down their own legislation

Why bother? The reality of it is funnier than any "satire".

Satire is dead. This incident exemplifies WHY satire is dead.

Ok, fine. Then put the military at the border with orders to protect it at all costs. Shut down all immigration so no more over stayed visas and no more foreign workers taking American jobs.

This is a great move. The only concern is what Speaker Ryan will give up in return for making them look bad.

Think of what these three Democrats had to do to get their bill to the floor. What support they had to have from Pelosi and the Leadership to do it.

Then watch them crab-walk backwards.

Pocan is a red, hardcore. See his history at www.keywiki.org. The woman is a pinko-in-progress. and Espaillat could turn out to be a Puerto Rican radical like Gutierrez.

This time their ideological blinders and sheer stupidity let them step in their own shit.

They ought to start a singing ground known as “The Three Fools”. They are perfect for it.

Diana, you had the guts to say what many of us are thinking.

We need to get back to where we started.

I have a lucid thought every once in a while! I am going to design a Bumper Sticker:

“I Love My White, Christian, American Born, Heterosexual Male!”

I’m thinking it might be a good seller! :)
