Rules? This. Is. Congress! [Daniel Foster]
Yes, Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings (Fla.) just said this in the most powerful committee of the United States House of Representatives. The people's house:
"There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along."

Un-f**king-believable.
Where do voters find such trash....and then actually vote them into office?
IDIOTS.
To: Steelfish
I trying to find out if there is a video of Hastings making these remarks. Is there one?

It is live streaming now... so, when mtg over, it should be on CSPAN it would be shortly after it started up again this afternoon. I was watching it but muted it off and on.

Alcee Hastings? The impeached judge?
I can’t direct ALL of my ire at him, arrogant scuzzball that he is, because there are people out there who voted him into office. They are the ones I truly detest.

OK, Thanks. His words are on my FaceBook, but I want to post the video. Please ping me if you are aware of when it gets posted on FR.

that was a confusing post...when the live mtg is over, CSPAN will have it on website. It would be within 30-40 mins of beginning of tape (I cant remember when it started - it was after 1pm EDT)

Remember that this man was a crook and he was re-elected anyway. Of course he thinks there are no rules, none that apply to him anyway.
These a**holes had better understand that if they eliminate the rules, they will live (or not) with the consequences.

A great nation can tolerate only some many imbeciles as part of the voting public. We are now have evidence of the fall of this nation. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, where are you?

"There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along." This works both ways.
And it is why I won't be on Alcee's side when someone does what has to be done.

No rules? Hmmm? Does this means we get to execute the 10 million commies that are screwing up this country?
To: Ronbo1948
The TV ads write themselves. That is if the GOP has the nerve to run a real scorched Earth campaign this fall.
