More than two dozen House Democrats staged a "sit-in" on the House floor Wednesday in protest of GOP leadership's refusal to allow a vote on a gun control measure following the Orlando massacre.
Led by Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the civil rights icon, and more than 40 Democrats walked into the chamber just before noon and pledged to “occupy” the House floor until GOP leadership allowed a vote.
Democrats have tried numerous times over the past week to force a vote on a so-called "no fly, no buy" bill, which would bar terror suspects on the “no-fly" list from purchasing guns.
“We have been too quiet for too long,” Lewis said. “There comes a time when you have to say something. You have to make a little noise. You have to move your feet. This is the time.”
"How many more mothers? How many more fathers need to shed tears of grief before we do something?" Lewis continued, his voice rising in intensity. "Give us a vote. Let us vote. We came here to do our job. We came here to work.”

The same party which releases prisoners from Guantanamo so they go back to the battlefield. Traitors all..
Just don’t use the word*nappy* around Lewis, he’s too bald.
These sophomoric asshats should stamp their feet and hold their breath until they disarm America’s law abiding citizens and guarantee a massive increase in crime.
Hitlery calls this ‘real leadership.’ To accuse Donald Trump of juvenile behavior and then pull a Harry High School stunt like this is beyond contempt.
Once they get enough photos published, they will be in their comfy chairs. In fact, they probably are already taking a nap at their desks.
Have them arrested for public nuisance and thrown in jail, where they belong.
I just made a phone call to my rep’s office (thankfully an R), and suggested to the gal who answered phone that a staffer run over to CVS and get a bunch of binkies for the ‘Rat crybabies. She laughed, but also said she would pass idea on.
100% pure RAT: Sit around all day doing nothing, all at the tax payers’ expense!
In third photo, who is the tranny in Yellow(queer looking but fairy nice outfit)?
No need to answer, I know who it is.
Just being facetious and attempting humor.
Nothing like a gov’t created “CRISIS” to make the Law Abiding Citizens, who are doing acting on the legal authority provided by the Constitution, become straight A criminals.
This wild horde of politicians craves blood & power. They want it. There is nothing they won’t do to quench their thirst for more power.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few RINO’s sitting with them. Paul Ryan would probably be happy to join them.
Have to wonder how many of them were able to get back up again.
I would love to know the price tag on Nancy Pelosi’s protest attire. I bet just the fake jewelry are more than a 99-er could afford for her whole outfit on a formal night out.
The best way these days to kill people is to step to one side and let them get after what they are determined to do. They’ll end up dead.
Exactly what they look like: spoiled toddlers, refusing to listen and do their work. I am waiting for them to lie down and start kicking and screaming. Just one more reason I have updated my tagline.
I know what you mean and man that is funny! Check my Tag.
Sometimes I have to help the wife off the couch when she sinks in.
Don’t anyone tell her I said that. ;^}
If you get a video please ping me! ;^}
Make them listen to a bunch of cRAP music that glorifies guns, violence and promotes hate for cops and uses the N word in every line.
If you were a negotiator, you’d do this, then pack your briefcase up, and go have a beer. As long as your butt is still in the chair, you have the potential to change your mind, when you get up and leave, it’s over. I make a living negotiating, and there’s a time to let the opponent know the talking is over.
Twenty bucks to the first conservative rep who goes to lunch and has a belly of beer and Brussels sprouts and f-bombs this bunch of losers. Lay down a real mind sweeper too for another twenty, dare you.
LOL at the mental imagery...
