Democrats “energized” by results of “sit in”
Politico says that Democrat lawmakers are pleased that their “sit in” on the House floor accomplished nothing, and they intend to do it more often;
Already rank-and-file Democrats, energized by nationwide publicity and praise they received for occupying the House floor over demands for a gun vote, are saying they’ll likely use the same strategy again.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), for example, thinks a sit-in demonstration could force Republican leadership’s hands on what she called “economic justice issues,” like the minimum wage. And Rep. Maxine Waters of California said at the end of the protest Thursday that she would be ready to seize the House floor again over the gun matter when lawmakers return from their July 4 recess.
Yeah, I think they should do it more often, too, especially in the days leading up the election. Remind the American public how the liberal agenda is just a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
“It’s a new day in Washington; it’s a new way to fight,” said Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman Joe Crowley on the House floor in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
Its new way to do nothing but complain, so I’m all for it, as long as they really continue to accomplish nothing, it’s a good thing for America.

FIRST!
But…but… this isn’t the WOT, 3E9.
If the dumbocraps want to go on looking like Dumb and Dumber, let them. The Brits voted 52% to 48% FOR BREXIT. There were photos on the news of people holding signs that said ‘WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK’. Now there are rumblings in other Eurozone countries like France.
The dumbocraps seem to think that THEY own this country. Wrong. WE own this country and I think that WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!
Yes, in case anyone is wondering, financial markets took a pounding over this.
But the fact that European countries are developing the same attitude and view themselves as misrepresented in their governments too?! This is a truly good day, in the long run. No revolutions. Just people showing they want/expect better and doing something about it.
Its going to take a pounding just long enough for all the big investors and brokers to say, “Okay, its bottomed out….buy! buy! buy! buy!” and things will go back up. Plenty of people will make a shit ton of money off it.
The smarter people were shorting whatever they could short, including the various indices.
Yeah I know, but I’m usually no where near it for the WOT. I just had to finally get in on one somewhere. Now I can check that off the bucket list.
Gee, politicians sitting around doing nothing. How is this different from any other day?
Floor vs. cushy chairs. That’s all.
I sincerely hope that their butts got completely numb, and they had to have help getting up afterwards. I really do.
Be careful where you step. Leaky bowels have to be pretty high w/ these fossils.
Damn. Are they good at self-deception or what? Like all Liberals, their success is not graded on results. They are only judged by what they say they want to accomplish.
Indeed let the house floor become the cooling saucer that the Senate was supposed to be…the more cooling the better.
At this point less is really more in my opinion. Too many stupid laws now most of which remain unenforced due to either political or reality reasons.
Adding more laws does nothing at this time to help the nation. Removing some or altering them would provide a far better use of our time.
GOOD! Let the DildoCrats pout and sit and do nothing, and force the lawmaking process to a grinding halt.
That means less stoopid unenforceable laws to be passed. Especially those of a “social justice” (as opposed to Equal Justice) issue.
And as a side benefit, They, The Sheeple get to see how childish many of their Kongress Kritters behave.
Now if I were the Speaker, next time I would hand out pacifiers with a big tag saying “Waaah! Mean people won’t let us trample due process!” And get it on camera
You mean call the “waaaaahmbulance”? Funny. Almost rated a spew alert, but I’ve learned to put down the ice water when reading this blog!
That’s the best SOP for reading TAH. Don’t drink while reading.
What was the cost the government shutdown (sit in)?
If you want to do the math, here are some basic cost numbers:
Standard Binkies run anywhere from $4.75 to $4.99.
Neon Pink Binky that says “Whine Connoisseur” on it is $6.99.
Let’s see, $6.99 times however many Democraps that need one equals ???
Wouldn’t want to have to change those diapers.
I doubt you could even use it for farm fecal fertilizer.
This sort of behavior occurs at stores from brat little shit that don’t get the toy they want. why is this tolerated in our government?
It’s theater!
My kids behave a lot better.
The Sergeant at Arms needs to be replaced with someone who will actually perform the duties of the maintaining order and decorum in the House chamber. Pepper spray and frog marching ’em out would go a long way to remove their smugness.
Well it’s safe to assume that the Dem’s have lost a BIG Chunk of the Gay vote in 2016
I wonder if they are trying to figure out how to steal this election like the last or do they think a toxic issue
Like this gun is really going to be there winner
The only thing they didn’t do on their last hissy-fit (*OOPS*, sit-in) was hold their breath until their faces turned blue.
That’s why their party color is blue, isn’t it?
Crazy as batshit Maxine Waters didn’t scream that “DA MAN” was keeping her down???? If she didn’t tell the world that “DA MAN” was keeping her down, then it isn’t a real issue for her.
I read another story about the sit in… care to guess what they had delivered to them for grub? Chick-fil-a!
Fucking hypocrites….
Nationwide publicity is code for donations. If they do it again, the Speaker shouldn’t be so benevolent and this time call in the Capital Police to clean up the mess.
Word ????
“What’s a Dem Congresscritter smell like?”
“Depends”
of course, none of them noted that four bills were voted on Monday in the Senate, where their bills would go – and were ALL defeated. Two of the bills were defeated because Dems refused to vote for Repub-sponsored bills…even on the Dem’s favorite subject.
Sadly, there are places in this country where 80-plus percent of people think the same way.
Talk about your hive mind politics.
SHEEP will vote for whoever they think is feeding them even if it’s the ones fattening them up for the slaughterhouse.
“Its new way to do nothing but complain, so I’m all for it, as long as they really continue to accomplish nothing, it’s a good thing for America.”
Couldn’t agree with you more Jonn!
They didn’t seem to be as happy with Senator Cruz’s filibuster.
Only a head in the sand libtard would think sit-ins are a “new” thing.
Their next tactic will be to park huge wooden Horse outside the Capitol building.
IF ONLY the same dumpy-rats would lock themselves inside their cars and forget how to open the door…
Well, well, well. It seems, per the Federalist Papers, that 26 of those who engaged in that little demo of infantile behavior actually own guns themselves.
