The party of stupid

House Republicans have introduced a bill that would end the 40-hour work week, dismantling an important component of the Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 and hurting middle-class families across the country.

1. they won't be happy until they re-instate slavery...

but this time, they claim, won't be racist, because they'll be in favor of enslaving us black and white alike. In this brave new republican America we will be judged not by the color of our skin, but the contents of our bank accounts...

4. haven't had the guts to say that, but have felt that way for a long time

slavery is kind of the u;timate that they seek. But it will have to be a gussied up form of slavery.

10. Don't Worry.

The Democratic Party will find Common Ground,
and meet them half-way with a sensible, pragmatic Compromise.

This will be a HUGE victory because the Democrats will look like The Adults!

2. Utterly relentless. Something too many of us don't want to acknowledge...

They have a cold-steel ideology, and the GOPers WILL NOT be dissuaded from it. They just do not fear or recognize any thing or institution that purportedly stands before them. The resistance to the GOP can't hope for some kind of passive aggressiveness writ large; resistance will come from a strong party with something to say. And what is said should be marked by brevity and clarity.

The GOP WILL undue it all if things continue as they have been. They have not forged this Right-Wing machine for 50 years only to compromise. They will go for it all.

3. Omaha Steve, I hope you are back.

Esquire's latest issue has something to say about the hatred and viciousness which dominates the internet. I recommend it. Some quotes by Marche:

The Internet has reached peak hate.

It would be silly to blame Twitter or the comment boards for this human impulse. People are the problem, not technology.
[interesting, that last one]

5. I wish them the pleasure of their families having to work 80-hr weeks to make ends meet

6. Why would you insult Chimpanzees

by equating them with Republicans?

8. K&R. Thanks for returning.

9. Tell me again how they're the "profamily" party?

Because nothing says "profamily" more than parents having to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.

11. If they put only eight hours of measurable productivity into a week I'd be surprised.

They are all lackey stooges for the one percenters.
They only pretend to represent the voters at election time.
