GOP lawmaker shreds Democratic resolution on House floor

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Republican lawmaker on Thursday expressed his disgust with a Democratic resolution by ripping it in half on the House floor.

As the House was debating a resolution expressing disapproval with a new Trump administration Medicaid guidance, Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-Minn.) indicated he was fed up with non-binding resolutions.

Mitchell said the resolution “has less impact, less importance than the tissue in the cloakroom has."

By ripping the resolution, Mitchell referenced Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) viral moment from the State of the Union on Tuesday, when she shredded her copy of President Trump’s speech.

3. Nothing like a copycat...it must mean that Nancy Pelosi's action of tearing up the president's...

so called propaganda speech was a hit and really rankled the republicans. Ha!

10. Haha... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

14. Yes! I tried to think of this saying, but in my senior moment at the time, I couldn't think of it!

Thanks so much for thinking of it, its the perfect saying!!

16. Haha no problem, thank you!

The quote popped in my head right when I read your post, so you conveyed the right idea!

20. Lol ya. It means they know we're better at this part of it than they are.

13. I know, huh! All Republicans are good for is cheating and stealing other people's ideas.

[SWBTATTReg]

18. Yeah, it is pathetic, isn't it? rump trying to take credit literally for everything. The only ...

thing I can think of is that they passed the 2017 tax cuts and jobs bill which failed miserably in creating jobs but it certainly cut the 1%er's taxes quite a bit. rump is a worthless piece of you know what, and a credit hog.

Take care!

5. We are all so screwed it really ain't funny. Our govt is a depressing mess.

6. he is not wrong about the non binding resolution

the house should pass a bill forbidding trump from making these changes or, better yet, legislating specifically how the program must be managed.

7. I'm sure the Republicans who want Nancy Pelosi arrested for destroying a government document

will also be calling for this guy's arrest any time now.....




crickets

8. Well! I guess he showed her!

It's a shame the hospital in Lapeer* was closed. He may have been able to benefit from their services.


* It was a hospital for those who had brain or cognitive deficiencies so severe that they were not able to take care of themselves. Not being able to tie your shoes was not severe enough.

[bluestarone]

19. What a snowflake. nt

21. Oh, honey. When you do it, you just make yourself look silly.

I have to say though, I agree with him about non-binding resolutions.
