'Well, that's news to me.'
So he didn't even read the bill?
Of course not. Just like Obama Care. They always pushed it at last minutes.
Sure he did, he's lying.
They all know and were involved in creating it. Where did 1500+ pages come from?
Just saying they haven't read it, is their plausible deniability cloak.
The fact they vote on things they don't read is irresponsible and treasonous.
It's definitely irresponsible, but treasonous? No.
I don't think there's a word that's ever been as overused and misused here as the word "treason" has been.
I'm not intending to single you out or embarrasse you, so please don't take it personally.
People are getting waaaaaay too loosey goosey with word definitions. The gravitas behind the word "treason" is getting diluted more and more every day.
I think people really need to go look up the definition of that word and find some clear examples of it to have as a reference. Because now it seems that people believe that "treason" means anything associated with politics that they believe is wrong or don't agree with.
I don't know why, but it's like someone just flipped a switch one day, and all of a sudden people were calling anything that pissed them off as "treason".
I know I'm an old fuddy duddy, but I think it's important to keep the definition and perception of the word "treason" to high standards. When any word is overused and misused constantly, it changes the public's perception of that word. They become sort of numb to it. In this case, it doesn't hold the same amount of respect it's owed when people use it in such a trivial manner. And "treason" is definitely a word that should be given the respect it's due because of how horrible a crime it actually is.
I'll get off my soapbox now.
I call it as I see it. I meant every word I said and understand why I said it. America has foreign and Domestic enemies. Domestic enemies are treasonous. And have infiltrated our government. That's why we have Gitmo. Children are irresponsible. Adults are responsible for their actions. To continually propose actions that wreck the fabric of America is treasonous in my book and a demonstration of hatred of Americans. Treason is spiritual as well as physical. As it is my grandkids have less than I have. Because people want to find ways to accommodate evil instead of confronting and dealing with it. American people shed blood for this land. To see it stolen from us because "we just want to get along" is an abomination to all righteousness. Sometimes you have to play hardball.. The Founding Fathers expressed this same sentiment in their writings. That's how it is. Evil nibbles away until you are enslaved to it. This is about American legacy. pissed off is about someone cutting you off in traffic or other personal issues. Been in this battle for a long time. As have others.
BTW I am older than you..more fuddy duddy.
The 1,500 pages were not written by Congress critters.
It was written by K Street lobbyists and congressional staffers.

This is an important comment. The staffers do the bidding of the lobbyists. Us peasants are occasionally just an afterthought unless it's election season.
Good point
Saying that he's lying is the same as saying he's breathing.
This, you could see it in his face he was lying, the deflection also adds to his deception.
They don't read bills. Their staff reads the bills and then makes sure that it conforms to the whims of their lobbyists. Then the staffers tell the representatives how to vote. This is literally how it happens 95% of the time. The other 5% are weirdos who actually either read the bill and make a speech about it, or they work with others against the bill and they help write the speech. This is why only the same handful of maga republicans (or crazy libs) actually stand up and give a speech about the bills. And we watch them and go...well what are the other 425 other reps (edit: /senators) doing, sittin on their hands?
he lies, so there's that.
