Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @AOC .@tedcruz if you’re serious about a clean bill, then I’m down.

Let’s make a deal.

If we can agree on a bill with no partisan snuck-in clauses, no poison pills, etc - just a straight, clean ban on members of Congress becoming paid lobbyists - then I’ll co-lead the bill with you.

"You're on," Cruz agreed.

Sounds like a good deal, as long as they dont put some added pork nonsense in it, Dems(And many in the GOP) love adding pork..if its a clean bill just about lobbyists sounds good to me

I agree with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the lobbyists.
I agree with Meryl Streep trashing “toxic masculinity.
I agree with Kim Jun Un that Joe Biden is a low I.Q. idiot.

Are these signs of the end times?

Nice idea but....They should be free to pursue any job they want after leaving office.

Something is definitely going on today.

I agreed with Elizabeth Warren and now Occasional Kotex all on one day. I think we’re being eaten up by a black or maybe we are being absorbed by a parallel universe. Scary stuff.

More beltway flim flam here. The ex-Congresscritters will still be hired by lobbying firms but just won’t register as “lobbyists” . The new law should be no working or sitting on the board for any company that lobbies Fedgov. And no cut outs through trade associations, either.

Democrats will quietly straighten Mz. Cow Fartz out.
She will claim this was just ‘dry humor’ that only her contraceptive sponge would fail to get.

His first few days in office, didn’t Trump sign an XO banning all government officials from taking jobs with lobbyist groups for 5 years?

I know I saw him sign it, I was surprised it happened in only a few days. Figured he already had it typed up and ready to go...

Maybe I misunderstood what it actually said? Or Cruz is just jumping on a chance to make it law, and long term?

A good write up here, I still don’t understand half of it, but I’ll read it a few times and maybe...

Cruz is an IDIOT for giving her cred about this topic.

I don’t know who was first, but it CERTAINLY WAS NOT AOC.
