Asshole Issa launching investigation into closure of WW2 memorial

House Republicans are seizing the Obama administration’s decision to barricade the open-air World War II memorial in Washington as a potent political weapon in their shutdown showdown with the president.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor led a group of GOP lawmakers in denouncing the decision from the Capitol steps, and House oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa has launched an investigation into why the WWII memorial and other open-air monuments have been shut down.

“These properties belong to the American people. They do not belong to a Political party. There is no reason to ever shut those folks out from that,” said Representative Mike Kelly in an emotional speech.

“Once the American people start looking at this, they’re like, ‘what are they doing?’” Representative Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia told me.

If Issa can't remember why spaces operated by the National Parks Service were closed.

And the FReaks will cheer him on. Because wasting tax payer money on frivolous investigations is better than feeding hungry children.

Damn good thing their God died for their sins, otherwise hell would be overflowing with so many stupid white men the devil would move to Antarctica.

who don't point out this hypocrisy and BS.

that alex jones idiot was in the UK and the news people just laughed in his face at the stupid shit he said. CNN would have done some "getting the other side of the story" crap.

Here it is in a nutshell. If you are paid with appropriated funds, and there are no appropriated funds because the Congress has not authorized funding, YOU CANNOT GOT TO WORK! TO DO SO IS A VIOLATION OF THE ANTI-DEFICIENCY ACT AND IS CALLED RATIFICATION! YOU failed to pay the folks who take care of the parks and monuments so the people who take of these things closed shop and went home.


Now the get F out of here Issa.
