The Democratic-led House passed a bill this week that would designate Washington, D.C. as the 51st in the union, but not before Republicans trotted out a litany of less than good faith arguments against the idea.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise argued against it based on D.C.'s crime rate, claiming the district "can't perform basic governmental duties like protecting its residents from criminals," but failing to mention that his home state, Louisana, has had one of the nation's highest rates for over three decades. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said in a presser that D.C. "wouldn't even qualify as a singular Congressional district." Of course, D.C. has a larger population than both Wyoming and Vermont.

Speaking of Wyoming, Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton argued the sparsely populated state has "three times as many workers in mining, logging and construction, and 10 times as many workers in manufacturing. In other words, Wyoming is a well-rounded, working-class state."

I have decided on a new name for this cotton asshole..."boll weevil", not only does he not have "any " plans" like all the republicans, he has no clue what it is like to work in Wyoming or to live there, a fucking right to work for less state, and just for added fun this "boll weevil" probably has no clues on where the coal is mined in the state, I will tell him....this same asshole that wrote a letter to undermine a former president (Obama) against Iran, "boll weevil" fucking traitor.........
I know I use to live there and work in trade for carpenters at the local union competing for jobs that scabs would under bid, and since the antelope population has been going down, because of the oil and gas industry decimating the water supply with all of the fracking and the land being held by ranchers that are more worried about cattle, (the antelope population is around 460,000 verses people 450,000), and then the all time classic up in the region where all of the mining for coal is being done, you know in Sheridan and the Powder River Basin, well, they are coming to the realization, that coal is a dying business model, and that putting up wind turbines is more profitable, since the average wind speeds in the state on a "daily" basis is over 23 miles per hour, the state has the dubious record of having the one highest suicides rates because of that wind, does this "boll weevil" know why they call it the Wind River Region has he ever visited the state, after all its called the "Equality State .... does he know fucking why it's called that?
Wonder if he knows what that means...........here let me tell you "boll weevil" ............to add further insult to your lack of what your fucking saying ...
