I take back everything then. Seems safer if all this does is forcibly inhect a bunch more evidence and hearings into it. The ole Benghazi strategy. | ||

On a lighter note, the Senate has been substantial improved by the existence of this baby. They had to change the rules because they treated all people in the senate as adults and fathers didn’t bring their babies to the senate. The dress code also had to be changed. The baby can wear whatever it wants. Hatch stepped in it real good by staying “What if there are ten babies in the Senate?” like it would be disruptive. Yeah, what if you old fart? What if we were so fucking cool that we had 10 babies in the senate breaking? What if America was greater than it has ever been? Babies are dope. | ||

I applied to a law firm that had a “firm dog” that just hung out at the office to improve office spirits. The senior partner owned it. I have never been more disappointed in not getting a job. The Senate should consider adopting the same rule and get a Senate dog to future improve decorum and civility. On April 21 2018 03:34 PeTraSoHot wrote: It would be disruptive. Aren't you pro-abortion? No one is pro-abortion. I oppose the government unlawfully restricting access to abortion for practical and ideological reasons. And Hatch is an old fart that likes to tell tall tales about how he “earned his way to law school” when he got a free ride. Disruptive for him is when other senators debate on the realities of the bills he votes for. | ||

I have confidence that the senators could find a way to take the crying babies into the hall an office if necessary. They only need to be in the chambers when they vote. They are tasked with solving bigger problems in congress and somehow manage to do it. | ||

It just seems like the liberals could be campaigning for the November mid-term elections instead, if they really wanted to be involved in the political process rather than just demonizing the current prez and making the opposition seem heroic 'just demonizing'? I think the growing list of guilty pleas and indictments would take issue with that description.

I've heard 10+ babies and they reach a quorum and can form a baby senate  | ||

I think a lot of people just assume this is the left's version of Benghazi. "Guys, we basically invented this shit, we know it is just being politically bitter. Can you please just stop?" | ||

Another state right to work state is faced with a teachers over education funding. We should not expect this to stop and it will like move over to other state employees pushed for more funding and support. My bet is these right to work states are going to continue to prompt strikes for the foreseeable future. | ||

We care about our kids! just as long as we don't have to pay for them. We care about roads!! just as long as we never pay for it. We care about all these things! As long as we never have to pay for it | ||

It is a very sad situation. I'm not really sure how you convince people education is something that can have enormous benefits with increasing funding/importance. | ||

And then they would be like the students they were teaching in their old state, fleeing it for better pay and more employment options. That is the part that convinces me that these Republicans have no idea how to govern states. Education is the number one things families moving to a new area care about. How do you cut education budgets while your own young adults are fleeing the state? A shrinking population will cause the state economy to implode. And then they somehow hope that cutting taxes will stimulate growth by attracting businesses. Rather than having well educated potential employees to attract business. | ||
