C’mon she’s only asking for crumbs.

[gundog]

It’s more like tip for really good service.

[jmacusa]

Cenk Uygar.

[proust]

So, Soros basically.

[neverevergiveup]

Congress-people should be paid less, not more.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Cenk Uygar.”

I had heard that he and his Young Turks posse were behind this. I guess he never recovered from election night 2016.

“Because, like, the Devil wears PRADA! That stuff ain’t cheap.”

[Red Badger]

Mine hasn’t stopped laughing yet...............

[jmacusa]

Yup. I wouldn’t count ‘’Miss Zanti Misfit’’ out just yet.

[jmacusa]

No he didn’t. He’s a foreign born Leftist thug.

[blackdog]

And a note to our newest new money member of politics.....It’s quite rude to discuss one’s money or wealth publicly. It’s downright suicidal if you expect to become part of those of which you seek to ensure your future.

[MayflowerMadam]

I do have a special connection with Cenk, though. When I’m feeling blue, I just watch that panel of clowns on election night and laugh my butt off. “Brace for impact!” hahahaha!!

[proust]

wow, Outer Limits. I like your style.

[BenLurkin]

This genuinely sounds like John Semmens satire:

“[E]verybody should get cost of living increases to account for the changes in our economy, and then when we don’t do that, it only increases the pressure on members to exploit loopholes like insider trading loopholes to make it on the backend.”

[jmacusa]

That episode terrified me when I was a kid. Looking back it stared an unknown young Bruce Dern.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[VR-21]

The modern American political class. Self-serving, rapacious, greedy and corrupt to the core.

[DoodleDawg]

You know, that is SUCH a fantastic idea... let's make it a maximum wage too.

I'm willing to let it go up a bit with longevity; it is, after all, a minimum wage. But max out at $20 per hour.

[SkiKnee]

Last raise I got was a year ago. $1200.

For the mathematically challenged, such as this dingbat with her economics degree, that's $100 per month.

[shanover]

AOC,you are not worth spit nor are the rest of this absolutely worthless Congress.
