Liberals killed a bill to protect freaks who amount to 1% of the population.

This is progress?

So a fight over something (perverted) the federal has no delegated power to involve itself in has scuttled a spending bill for which the federal has no delegated power?

I’ve ... got mixed feelings.

If you are talking about the number of freaks and not just a subset of freaks the percentage is WAY higher.

Why? They refuse to fund appropriations for their special pink and chartreuse light bulbs? How dare they!

Great! Shut down that useless department of green energy freaks, and while they’re at it, defund, the worthless departments of Education, Commerce, EPA, Agriculture, etc.,etc.

I am sick and tired of the damn moral decay that Obama has mandated. He has adults teaching young boys to be homos. There is nothing normal about men thinking they are women and vice versa. This is mental illness and a sick learned behavior taught by sinners.

Ironically, the Department of Energy doesn’t produce any energy.

Yep. The nation is playing with fire. Indeed, it rather looks like we’re seeing people being turned over to a reprobate mind even now (per Romans 1).

Why in Hades is more homo rights part of an Energy Bill in the first place?

Are their Panderers in Congress wanting them to get free gas and electric too?

the DemocRATs are going to be planting pro-”LGBT” policies and amendments in countless bills and regulations now.....

They are relentless, depraved, and obsessed in their determination to undermine America.

Fine. Shutter the department. Tell every single bureaucrat in the department to go find a job in the private sector.

So let’s see: One must assume that Ryan knows how the Republicans will vote on any bill he brings up. In this case, there are 246 Republicans in the House and only 106 voted for the bill. Less than a majority, not just of the entire House, but even of the REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

Obviously Ryan was counting on DEMOCRATS to get the bill passed, since he knew that he was way short with just Republicans (as in over 100 votes short).

...and yet Ryan CLAIMS to be the CONSERVATIVE leader of the country? More so than Trump?
