If those guys don't want to work then maybe they shouldn't get paid. Or get any perks that they get for being in office. Seems only fair.

What? Rand Paul is still in the Senate? He's NOT dead??!? Did anyone check to see if they've just been Weekend at Berniesing us all this time?

Did anyone catch Tom Cotton's act on Meet the Press yesterday? Never have I wanted more badly to throat-punch someone. He has dead eyes and a brontosaurus neck. Props to Peter Alexander for not letting him get away with making his usual outrageous statements and lies. But the guy and Arkansas 100% deserve each other.

If this doesn't get them on the Sunday shows and right wing punditry, well, they'll try something else.

"Nobody move of the Republican gets it!" "Oh my God! They signed a piece of official US Senate stationary!" - derived from Blazing Saddles. I'll work out something from Young Frankenstein using Abby Normal right after this article drops off the bottom of the page.

I hope these “senators” remember that the US of A does not negotiate with terrorists who threaten us? Not even with the domestic stochastic terrorist variety.

For a second there, I thought that the first paragraph was saying that Republican senators were threatening actual explosions, like with explosives, and I still wasn't particularly surprised.

So, they are on strike? Must be some laws in their home states that forbid them from refusing to undertake tasks that they are paid to do. Someone should see if they can be sued or dropped from their roles as they break their laws.

"In other words, pretty much exactly what all of these same Republican senators have been doing for years anyway. This whole stunt is just masturbation material for the hardest of hardcore wingnut constituents"

Yep. These ding-dongs have been doing nothing but dipshit statements and impotent "protest" votes for YEARS. Kinda funny how most of those names line up with the "dumbest lawmakers" list, too.

I noticed in that document they did not cite any specific evidence. It might be more interesting if they backed up their accusations with documents, phone calls, recorded conversations, you know, that kind of thing. Just inflamed rhetoric "un-American", "tear this country apart" , "lawfare". Pics or it didn't happen.

Democrat is a noun. It shouldn’t be used as an adjective.
