A round of Depends, on the House!
Why should they get an exemption when no other type of business has one (except MLB)?
No other reason necessary for these pols.
Well of course! They talked his 88 year old ass into it. “Those who do not support this legislation get no fruit cup!”
Sounds like they’re getting jealous of Europe, where they simply BLOCK media that doesn’t match their propaganda efforts (such as Ukraine). See you later, First Amendment.

It’s probably a 10 million dollar fruit cup in small unmarked bills.
No surprise here.
Swamp supporting swamp.
Retirement Bonus...wonder when he gets the watch?
He probably received a lot of payoffs disguised as donations
I know how this crap works
Makes sense. Nurse Diesel can be very convincing.

Could someone please explain what this means to the little guy?
kneecap the LEFTIST cartel media
cut your cable tv
force the cable tv companies to offer a la carte
cable tv companies claim they cannot offer a la carte because of the content providers
so we are stuck with the basic bundle
funding LEFTIST channels we do not want and who want us dead
cut your cable tv and tell them you will be back when they have a la carte
This guy was worthless during Clinton. He would make some announcement and hibernate. He’s a Rino pretending to be a senator from Iowa. He was elected the same year Reagan was the first time. Worthless, rinse and repeat...
