House Democrats’ 24-hour gun-control protest marks a turning point in Congress as a major escalation in minority battle tactics, lawmakers in both parties said Thursday — and a move that brings fundamental risks for the institution.
Already rank-and-file Democrats, energized by nationwide publicity and praise they received for occupying the House floor over demands for a gun vote, are saying they’ll likely use the same strategy again.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), for example, thinks a sit-in demonstration could force Republican leadership’s hands on what she called “economic justice issues,” like the minimum wage. And Rep. Maxine Waters of California said at the end of the protest Thursday that she would be ready to seize the House floor again over the gun matter when lawmakers return from their July 4 recess.

What a pathetic imbecile. Sambo John Lewis.
That’s from Uncle Tom’s Cabin you illiterate racist fucks! Sambo….the slave that beat all the other slaves – and beat Uncle Tom to death.
Fuck you Sambo Lewis.
So sad! My old friend John has gone from a civil rights supporter to a civil wrong supporter!
Although John Lewis was a highly respected desegregation icon, I say was, he has soiled that reputation. Claiming to be spat upon by the Tea Party, which turned out to be another liberal lie.
He has no business in government, too dumb.
Why not? They’ve been winning/stealing the narrative for several decades.
Again, by any means necessary.
That picture cracked up DH and me. TY BFH.
Gun owners are a minority group in America, and I think it’s about damn time they recognize those minority rights… Just as rights of mentally ill are recognized to the point where normal people can’t use a public restroom, or the most qualified for a job since a minority uses affirmative action. I want a bathroom for my gun, ammo subsidized, a tax credit, a pride parade, and a police car in AR-15 black with a burned up front end like it’s been shooting all day.
From what I see. I bet at least half of them are actually wearing diapers.
Even Gawker and ACLU said this was a lousy idea that takes away rights and was engineered to be a fundraiser.
If I were Ryan there would be some items waiting for the returning Democrats at all of their designated seats:
Jars of Gerber baby food strained peas (or carrots)
A bib (yellow)
A rubber coated airplane-shaped spoon
A sippy cup with Ensure in it.
A handful of Cheerios
Love the photo. Bunch of cry Baby Pee Pants the whole lot of em.
Lazlo – not a bad idea, perhaps we should start a go fund me project to do just that. I’d kick in a few bucks.
It is good to see evil people getting in some practice . . . but Satan’s rrhoids are probably habanero-hot.
Trump should have had a huge shipment of Pampers, with press coverage, delivered to them.
Wasn’t he the lyin’racist scumbag who said he was spat upon?
It was, I believe Eldridge Cleaver, who aptly described blacks like Lewis as “hang-lipped, coconut head, dumb mudderfukkas.”

Only 26 gun-owning Participate in the “sit in”
See the list.
Lazlo,
You forgot baby butt wipes!
(In reference to John Lewis)
Jerry Manderin: Is it racist to say that someone looks like an ape because he does LOOKS LIKE an ape?
BigFurHat: Probably.
baby butt wipes?
Nah, those are wrinkled old marxists. Give’em depends and maybe still line the floor with newspaper
Hell as far as diapers go may I suggest the Lazlo five day live-in diaper suit?
Take ’em out back and hose ’em off once a week
In tenth grade biology I’m fairly certain that I dissected something that had a face like John Lewis.
I found some of his family photos:

I’d replace that pacifier in their mouths with tampons.
Or the Mad Marty Miracle 60 grit make-up politician remover and butt-wipe
Why da Kingfish got a purple binky?

Sell their chairs while they are on break.
well now, guess which ones of these here fine demmys are gun owners??? Did you guess ALL of them? http://www.angrypatriotmovement.com/26-sit-in-dems-hiding-truth/
I feel sorry for the janitors who had to clean all the sh*t off the floor when these infants left.
Jagpald is on it.
When they get back there are no chairs.
Seeing as how they have demonstrated their preference for the floor, they can sit there.
If they need cushioning, let them sit on their soft, soft hands, that have never seen work.
I’m pretty sure he ripped that nipple off the Federal Tit he’s been suckin on for the past 52 years!
