Id say this video is unbelievable, but its not unbelievable that members of the most corrupt Congress in the history of the known universe dont care about laws, rules, procedures, or our Constitution.
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), who you might remember as a disgraced former judge who was impeached (by a Democrat Congress) for taking bribes:
There aint no rules here, were trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make em up as we go along.
We know Hastings likes to make up his own rules, he belongs in prison...I’d like to see him making up his own rules there.
I saw the video, exactly as described.
Conservatives go by the rules.
We do and shall, its what we are.
The left, the liberals, the deemocrats, they care not for the rules, the laws or the consequences.
From an usurper such as Obama who is still technically NOT eligible to be POTUS all the way down.
And he made these remarks while sitting on the Rules Committee. I can only wonder if this was a defense of the Slaughter Solution.
X-black panther.
Just a real scumbag m/f’er
We need to band together and make a few rules
I’m so sick of all this. Thank you American voters, you have elected people who will destroy America.
Especially Alcee Hastings! That guy belongs behind bars, not in Congress!
Well, now that country is filled with starving citizens who just consumed a dead bull elephant in three hours. The economy is in collapse as it suffers hyperinflation. A military junta rules.
What destroyed this nation? A Socialist bent on redistributing the wealth to provide social justice for minorities. Bet they have free health care, too.
Don't forget he was impeached and removed from office when he was a FEDERAL Judge for corruption and perjury. He was only the sixth Federal Judge to be removed from office in the history of the United States. How this guy qualifies to be a member of Congress is beyond me......
Hastings should be in prison, but instead he is in a house of ill repute.
In Hastings case, he was elected to a district that was created after the 1990 census. If we had any investigative reporters left someone should look into this and see if ACORN was involved.....
He probably was “deemed” the winner for his House seat!
Maybe the other guy won — who knows. But perhaps the Secretary of State in FLA “deemed” him the winner after consultations with Pelousy!
He is a Democrat.
Think melanin and party affiliation.
American voters? — many of them vote for who the State-run media including major newspapers, tells them for whom to vote.
Yep, and that is all anyone should ever need to know. If there is any doubt about how corrupt DemocRats are, it is on full display right now for everyone to see with their own eyes......
I would really like to see the full context of that quote. There is almost a plaintive quality to it that, to me, might suggest he was saying, "I don't know what's going on here. I don't like how this is being done. 'We just make up rules as we go along.'"
It's possible he was bragging or crowing but it just doesn't ring true considering the tone.
Of course, this doesn't take away from the fact that he's going to vote for it. Or, that the dems are simply spitting all over the Constitution. Or, that these reps are giving the U.S. the finger.
The Democrats embrace the bad guys so that they can help them perpetuate the dishonesty.
An ardent believer in colonialism and imperialism, he was the founder of the state of Rhodesia, which was named after him...He set up the provisions of the Rhodes Scholarship, which is funded by his estate. [from Wikipedia]
This P.O.S. is my congress thief.
In the past I asked for some help with my passport. His office refused saying I was not in his district.
A gerry mandered district made up to insure a black congress person.
This guy is garbage.
