100 John's resignations.

They also forget that today's aborted baby could have been the thug that climbs through their bedroom window 18 years from now and clubs them to death in their sleep for some costume jewelry.

The most important thing, is that he's leaving. He's leaving leaving leaving. Your country will be much better without the tan man.

It looks like it's either Kevin McCarthy or Daniel Webster. I don't know anything about either. Who do you think would be a better speaker?

You know this is whats up.


Why give up politics?? Get paid for doing nothing!! Literally do nothing besides get paid by special interests groups to vote . you don't even need to think. Just vote the way you get bribed.


So when any of these dicks resign, there is more to it.

Resign from a job that you make a shit ton in bribes? Or donations to "your Charity" that you get to keep 80% of?


Dirt is coming, just watch!!!

The funny thing is you rail against the guy who really is a full blown RINO and gave almost everything the Dems and Obama wanted. Its the reason he was about to get vacated in session by a vote in Oct, and resigned to save face.

Kevin McCarthy is a California RINO as well, so very likely will be the guy you should cheer for, as he will give you most of what the Dems want. He likely will have to cow towards the right more or risk himself getting vacated in the same manner.

Daniel Webster is a moderate conservative, but an actual Republican at least. So that is my choice of the two. And probably as far right a Speaker can go right now and be elected by the body.

He was about to get ousted by vote in October and lose his Speakership. First time in about 100 years that it would have happened. So he resigned to save face instead. He can retire with a 25 year full pension, and then go make a couple million a year on K street working as a liaison for the lobbyists.

Hi Ax,

I don't get it. What's a RINO? And what do you mean he got most of what the dems want? To me it looks like he blocked almost everything Obama and the dems wanted. He also wasted a shitload of time and money trying to repeat Obamacare (55 times or something like that).

And then there are gems like this:

Just a total dick.

Republican in Name Only. RINO. You could not get a better Speaker if you were a Democrat. If the conservatives in the party didn't at least keep him somewhat honest, you'd think he was Pelosi in drag. There is a reason he is hated by real Republicans and Conservatives and was about to lose his Speakership before he quit.

If you think you are going to get more of the Dem agenda passed with a new Speaker, you are in for a shock. But McCarthy is the guy you want for at least 80% of what Boehner gave you. And that is only cause of the conservatives, making him be more conservative or he will lose his Speakership very quickly. Otherwise he'd be just like Boehner. Webster it would be probably more like 50%.

That's because when universal healthcare was on the table Republicans wouldn't agree with it. Instead of sticking to his guns, Obama attempted to appease them with a half assed version.

As for prescriptions prices being insane in this country, well that's because there is no regulation on their prices like every other modern country in the world has.. I mean fuck even Mexico stops drug companies from price gouging but not in MERICA.. Because.. FREEDOM and well...I'll let you guess who is against regulations....

They are all against it because Big Pharma spends so much money on lobbyists.

Remember the first thing that was done when ACA was being written? The President brought in the heads of the big pharmaceutical companies and told them that it would be business as usual for them. That was one of the first reports about what was happening in 2009 when it was being written.

It was difficult to know exactly what was going on because even though President Obama promised that the health care bill would be written while being televised LIVE on CSPAN so there would be total transparency to the American people...that turned out to be just another lie told on the campaign trail. :(
And we ended up with Pelosi pressuring the Democrats to vote for it first and THEN read it. :(

Hardly a case of the President "appeasing Republicans". Since no Republicans or Dems had even READ the damn thing before it was passed on a party-line vote.
In other words...no Republicans voted for it.
So there was no "appeasement" by Obama.

Google it up. Look at the news from that time period. It's not hard to find.

That is a tragically apt analogy. Those systems are basically traps, when they should be trampolines in a compassionate society.

the video i saw didn't seem very edited, and the language being used was both disturbing and worth looking at.

that being said, i disagree with it being used as a political tool to defund PP
