In reply to the discussion: Sen. Sanders' "Too Big To Fail" Bill Isn't a Serious Proposal [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)I forgot about Sherrod Brown's original bill, because it never went anywhere.
And this one won't either, mostly for the same reasons, Republicans doing what they do best, filibustering.
Or, since now that the Ridiculous Ones are the ones who are in the positions of being the hall monitors who run things for the special class, they'll simply bury this bill in a committee and refuse to bring it to the floor for a vote.
They've done that same sort of thing for decades in Idaho's Republican-controlled state legislature.
One particular asshole Republican who was the chairman of the House ways and means committee, whose job it was to control the budget for the entire state of Idaho, would just place the bills that he didn't want considered by his committee in to the trunk of his car.
And there they would stay, locked in a trunk, until the legislative session was over, never to see the light of day again.
Journalists -- if you could call them that -- would write articles laughing about the entire situation when they reported how that asshole treated the minority party's attempts to pass bills in the committee that he chaired for years and years and years.
He never had to spend more than 2 or 3 thousand dollars of his own money to run for re-election because the county he was from was 90-95% Republican!
When he retired, many of the same local political writers that wrote about him years before, wrote again about his unique, unusual method of silencing the Democrats.
In order for new arrivals to the state that was lost in time would be able to see for themselves just how futile it was to try and argue with a "shit for brains" politician who was deaf to anyone else's concerns other than his own.
When that ginormous prick died a few years later, once again the same political hack writers lamented the loss of such a great "statesman", as if he ever attempted anything that even remotely approached statesmanship!
I expected the Republican party to erect a statue of him in the park near the capital building, or maybe call for the renaming of one of Boise's streets after him, the way those toadies wrote about that douchebag.
The mainstream media has been in love with the idea that they control the news for the last 50 years.
They think that they are the king makers.
Believing that they are the power behind the movers and shakers of power politics in this country.
That's why the mainstream media hates President Obama so much.
He doesn't kowtow to them.
Instead, he makes public appearences when he chooses to make some splashes about an issue is he currently pushing, and he uses the media like the whores they are!!
