Senator Rick Scott (R-Medicare Fraud) had a big day in the Senate yesterday, and we don’t mean like it was Take Your Batboy To Congress Day and Scott had to give a tour and bounce his baby Batboy on his knee or nothin’. No, it was a big day for standing up for what you believe in, and Scott really put his neck out there, all 185 feet of it.

And what does Rick Scott believe in? Why, just the rights of all billionaires to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, free from discrimination by anybody who would want to hurt them or make them feel sad just because of the way God made them, as billionaires. This pitted him against one of his own, Missouri GOP Senator Josh Hawley, which made it funny.

As CBS News explains, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was debating a measure to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks. Josh Hawley and the Democrats support this — Hawley is the sponsor, and would go on to vote with Democrats to vote the measure out of committee. But not before this very tense exchange with Scott:



“I’m not a billionaire,” THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS at Republican tables! Fight for your honor, Rick Scott! You tell ‘em your pronouns are “ka” and “ching”! So Scott responded...................:
