1. There is no bar low enough for the GOP not to crawl under

[pscot]

6. You can't under-estimate the GOP

They are the Limbo Masters. No bar is to low.

[riversedge]

28. The gop and trump are in the stinking sewer under the bar.

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. If the height of the bar ever got that low,

they would would scoop out a trench with their vestigial little handstumps.

[JHB]

18. Bars, schmars...

They cornered the world supply of ACME cartoon portable holes. Warehouses full of them.

Any time it seems they can't go lower, the unbox another one, slap it down on the floor, and dive in.

2. The R's are all about hypocrisy!

I wish their "constituents" were smart enough to understand the R's are all about BS, too.

[world wide wally]

3. Our country is fucked

period

[Cha]

32. Yeah, and our job is to UNFUCK it. nm

[Baitball Blogger]

4. Steny should be shouting logic into the chamber more often.

[Kirk Lover]

5. Thank you Steny. Another Dem who is vocal. He makes appearances on the teevee

So add his name to the list of Dem's who speak out.

[DownriverDem]

8. I see Dems

speak out all the time. Let's all focus on beating the repubs.

[Kirk Lover]

9. I do too...but I often see threads and posts saying that we are not so I thought I would just

point it out.

[Cha]

33. Thank you, KL nm

[sandensea]

7. We may be looking at our next President.

There's been a lot of talk of Nancy Pelosi retiring from her post as Democratic leader.

If Dems retake the House, and truly earth-shaking evidence of Putin's control of both Cheeto and Dense Pence (through his brother, Ed) emerges, the Speaker would have to be sworn in.

It's unlikely - but certainly possible.

[Sophia4]

10. This needs to go viral!

The hypocrisy of the Republican Party for all to see.

[Le Gaucher]

11. To be honest ..this is theatrics. I'd like less bluster and more accomplishment

Republicans looking at it are probably either rolling their eyes or snickering

[Demsrule86]

15. Yeah well they own it all...you want accomplishments...then vote like your life depended on it...

in 18 and 20.

[Duppers]

24. Much of politics is "theatrics" period.

That's all too many of the electorate understands and unfortunately, we Dems MUST use it to reach people. We MUST get folks on our side.

Even FDR used some "theatrics". And bravo for him.

[elleng]

27. Any suggestions to accomplish such would be appreciated by Cong. Hoyer,

I'm sure; after all, he's the dean of the Maryland Congressional delegation, was first elected in a special election on 19 May 1981 and served as the House Majority Leader from 2007 to 2011.[1][2] He had previously served as House Minority Whip from 2003 to 2007, and was reelected to that post in 2011. These positions make him the second-ranking figure in the House Democratic Leadership hierarchy. As of December 5, 2017 he is the most senior Democrat serving in the House of Representatives following the resignation of John Conyers.

30. So, you'd rather he just shut up?

[Achilleaze]

12. "Nobody knows what's in this legislation..."

Thank you Senator Hoyer

[Le Gaucher]

13. No ..they do.

No one knows the whole thing. But each congressman knows which companies are going to benefit with what he/she individually helped. They know it very well .. because that's whom they will turn to for election money

[Demsrule86]

16. We don't have a say...we vote for it or the government shuts down...I hear it ends the sequester and

that is a good thing.

[pscot]

20. They end the sequester so they can load up defense

while still cutting domestic spending.

[LiberalArkie]

17. The Kochs and Mercers know what is in it.

[PatSeg]

19. Whoa!

Never seen Steny quite like that. Very impressive.

[elleng]

29. Glad to see it, PatSeg.

While he doesn't actually represent me, he's pretty close, WOULD represent me if I were registered where I live MOST of the time (and am located right now,) but have kept my registration in a closer to DC district where I live part-time.

[PatSeg]

31. I usually think of him as a more reserved

old school Democrat, not someone so dramatic and certainly effective.

[Duppers]

21. K & R

[spanone]

22. K&R...

[ffr]

23. Every representative of the U.S. should speak out against the Russians, I mean republicans.

who are conspiring to undermine any and all legislative process.

[Angry Dragon]

25. Too much to read in one day

[Honeycombe8]

26. He's right. Of course, the Repubs who are getting the pork know what's in it for THEM.

They don't care about the rest, because it's tit for tat. Pork for me...pork for you.

[Cha]

34. Mahalo, steny!
