This act contains an emergency clause.
They left out “zombie apocalypse”. There’s just way too much right wingnut paranoia and delusion to mock.
“…This act contains an emergency clause.”
Really, a jobs bill is impossible for them and they think we’ll be confident in their ability to take over?
…if the zombies took over than if those fuckwits tried to take over.
They all love to wave the Constitution in the air (I just keep mine in my purse) and scream about how they, and only they, uphold it. May I point him to Article 1, section 8, the fourth enumerated power granted the federal legislature?
