They look like third-world despots to me. Are you sure these vermin are members of the US Congress? Really?

I can think of other four letter words that are more appropriate and far less polite

Imagine!
Three Republican members of Congress have been arrested on disorderly conduct charges at a protest outside Obama's personal home.

That is all.

“They look like third-world despots to me. Are you sure these vermin are members of the US Congress? Really?”

They ARE third-world despots. They are the result of our involvement with Puerto Rico and illegal immigration. They are elected by trash that’s moved here because we made Puerto Rico a US Territory. As far as I am concerned, we should cut PR loose, and make all of them non-citizens once again. I’ve been to PR and in a few words, “it isn’t Hawaii!” It’s dirty and the people there are very anti-American ( except like the rest of the “Hispanic World,” they expect to be taken care of. by Uncle Sam. Two of them are PR’s and Grijalva is a Mexican Communist who lives in Tucson.

All the Hispanic members of Congress only seem to care about Hispanic rights, legal or illegal, but that is not racist.

They need to be censured, and run out of congress with forfeiture of all pay and benefits back dated to their first day in congress.

Followed by formal charges for sedition with the maximum punishment allowed by law.
