Dems sit on their arses on House floor to protest lack of gun legislation
2016-06-22
[Wash Examiner] House Democrats blocked the House from doing its work Wednesday by staging a sit-in on the House floor to protest the lack of any votes on gun control legislation this week.
Featuring the clssic John Lewis 'bowel blockage scowl.' Seething, angry Dems. Sorry folks, that's the only kind we have.
Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., gathered Democrats around him, and encouraged the symbolic protest shortly before noon, a time reserved for short speeches but no legislative work.

"We will occupy this floor!" Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., bellowed as Democrats sat on the floor.
Please think 'outside of the box.' Seppuku is also on option.
"After the worst mass shooting in modern history, it's time for Speaker Ryan to bring a bill to the floor," said the office of House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md. "House Democrats will continue to demand: no bill, no break."

#8  Really, can you take anything they say seriously after this little snowflake temper tantrum> This is just silly bullsh*t and deserves to be laughed at for the pretentious adolescence it displays.

#7  No doubt reliving their lost youth of sit-ins and "sticking it to the Man". It would be a kindness to send in the pepper spray and Blue Meanies so they can relive the full experience one more time.

#3  Did they stomp their feet, throw themselves on the ground and flail their arms and legs around in toddler fury too?
