Day 141:

Watch The Bird’y:

These republicans are a real barrel of shit.  While everyone else was watching the former FBI director give testimony about our current president’s attempts to obstruct justice, they republicans in the house were busy repealing Dodd-Frank.  Dodd-Frank, you may remember was passed after the 2008 financial crisis and was itself a watered down version of Glass-Stegal (who’s repeal many think caused the recent economic meltdown).

These mother fuckers are absolutely set on destroying the entire world, so that their big money donors can get what they want (which is more money).  It’s the most short sighted of plans, and is bound to fail, and yet they do it over and over.

Much like the debacle in the UK for May and the conservative party, it will be these idiots Hubris which destroys them in the end.

Perhaps the stunning upset by labor in the UK is the start of a world wide response and backlash to the recent conservative wave.  We can only hope.  Be sure to contact your house rep and let them know you are absolutely furious about the repeal of Dodd-Frank.
