Thanks, Mr. Smith. That’s what I was hoping.

Awesome.
Next: De-fund Obama!
YAY!!! YAY!!!
Just pinging a few names. May the R’s ramp up and get wild!
our little narcissist in chief is going to get a complex without all of his little commie friends...
This is good. Now for more of them until they are all gone, or ineffective.
Thanks for this summary. Watched a bit of these votes today - do all of those that passed go to the Senate now?
Can you tell me what the heck “strike the last word” means? Each person stepping up to speak said that and I’ve never heard it before.
I noticed that too.
They are operating under the ‘five minute rule’:
Five Minute Rule - (1) A debate-limiting rule of the House used when the House sits as the Committee of the Whole. (2) A Member offering an amendment is allowed to speak for five minutes in support of each amendment and an opponent is allowed to speak for five minutes in opposition. (3) Other Members may rise to “strike the last word” and receive five minutes to speak in favor or opposition. (4) Additional time for speaking can be obtained through a unanimous consent request.
So everyone but the offerer and opponent of the amendment has to say ‘I rise to strike...etc,
I’ve no idea how the ritual came about!
Instead of 16,000 IRS agents, the House needs to hire 16,000 private detectives and auditors to dig the dirt on all the fraud and corruption in this Regime and in departments and agencies stealing from the US taxpayers. Audit every department and agency and get rid of every single department that isn’t needed and can’t prove their worth to the American people. Investigate, prosecute, and jail time for all of those found guilty of fraud and theft.
bttt
yeah?
Why didn’t they add an amendment to the CR repealing Obamacare?
Oh, wait. The still have till May.
Yippee!!!
Now the jobs are shovel ready for the manure pile...
Great!
I hate those positions.
Next!
That is Frickin Great!
Fantastic!
What a productive day!
I think I will send Thank You cards.
I hope this is only a short list with more to come. The newly elected Repubs sure must have more of these to deal with, especially since they came into existance deviously out of nowhere except in minds of Obama and his cabal.

This must be why Boenher had activists around his house in D.C. last night...
Indeed.
Great job, Conservatives!
