Congressman to Constituents: You Don't Pay My Salary

[BobTheSubgenius]

I'm not sure why a pretty unrelated video was inserted into this story, but it's not a terrible watch, and it's fairly short. They story is about Markwayen Mullin, an Oklahoma congressman (R-Obviously) launching a trial balloon of a new political paradigm is apparently working on.

I hope he really likes the way it sounds, because I have a feeling he'll hear it quite a bit, if he has the stones to run again. His constituents are reportedly less than impressed.

4. Would laugh, but that's probably true. He *meant* to say...

... "You don't pay my salary... just my chump change."

3. Saw it last night on msnbc. He is really self-rightous talking to the crowd like they

were nobodies. Sickening.

Let the oligarch party move to fucking Russia, and GIVE AMERICANS BACK THEIR COUNTRY.

7. Pretty sure we know who his "real"

constituents are; his donors! Ya know Big Pharma, private prison industry, big alcohol, big tobacco. Those are just to name but a few.

8. party of unrepentant douchebags strikes again

the GOP thinks being a complete asshole is a public service and paying taxes counts as charitable giving for which the rest of us should be grateful
