Definitely stupid. Also selfish, but definitely stupid. I've met too many of these god damn people that just cannot fathom seeing the world from the perspective of anyone else.

12 weeks is so crazy little. i got 8 weeks, as a father, and my wife took 78 weeks (at a reduced weekly pay)

Twelve weeks. That's twelve weeks more than Americans get.

Paid is the important additional criteria in your statement. Fmla keeps your insurance running and guarantees 12 weeks off work unpaid for maternity leave(for people working more than the pittance that is 1250 hours a year)

something many Americans cannot afford.

Congress gets the same health benefits as all federal workers. It isn’t free. https://www.cbo.gov/about/careers/benefits

I’m all for bashing congress, but continuing to throw out untrue “facts” learned from internet comments that were never verified might get more attention, but can make others disregard the rest of your statement.

that being said i am 100% in favor of new parents getting to at least work remotely in the House

This wasn't a partisan issue. It was literally just letting new mothers vote.

I'll call it resisting if the American people have consequences

Nah, he's throwing a temper tantrum because of the nine that didn't fall in line.

Definitely the latter. They don't want to risk anyone else defecting in the meantime after repeated failures that make them look bad, so they're looking for some other way to coerce the votes.

It's just a rule they can't vote on it until Monday. Which was the original schedule until Anna Paulina Luna used the arcane rule to move it up. She probably did that because nobody comes to work on Mondays and she didn't think they'd have the votes. She worked with a Democrat to create the bill and had a baby just a few months after being elected. She left the Freedom Caucus over it.

The 9 Rs didn't like being pushed around.

Or, just maybe, some of them (plus her) are the ones that some of the more quietly persuasive Democrats need to be talking to off the floor....

Edit: Either way, I'm happy for anything that messes with the GOP pushing through their hate agenda. Delay, Deny, Defend us against tyranny!

You mean, when Musk dissolves congress?

Their primary objective of Martial Law will be to suspend the mid-term elections, and they don't want to show that hand too early, and give it time to get through the courts.

So they'll wait until next summer, when the protests have grown huge, and the enraged citizens are on the warpath. They'll send in their RedHats to instigate violence, then send in armed authorities to quell the street violence with ferocious armed violence. That will be met with more violence, and the streets of American cities will look like Hong Kong.

Then they will use that as justification for Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored, and since HitlerPig controls the peace that will never happen.

Next summer is going to be wild.

"marshall law"

Well, the recommendation for martial law is supposed to come out by April 20th.

I quit a job after a coworker started yelling and screaming because I was told to go help them. I said I couldn't work with them anymore.My manager said, "well you can't pick who you work with." So I turned in my shit ans left the next day. You actually can pick who you work with.

I mean... You can
