There's an app for that.

I've been busy on other projects today, just now finding a little time to put a cheating, half-assed entry together before midnight, 15 minutes before, but it's still BEFORE.  Six days to make it a full six months.  WOOT!!!

Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan turned off the House cameras that C-Span gets the feed from.  Because, you know, House Republicans, a lack of transparency and of course Americans don't have a right to know.  House Dems decided to stage a "Publicity Stunt" (Ryan's words, not mine), sit-in demanding a vote on No Fly, No Buy.   Ah, thankfully we live in the 21st century and technology such as Periscope and Twitter have allowed us in.  Take that, you NRA meat puppets.

The Grand Old Tea Party, the proponents of the Constitution.  Well, except for that First one thing. 

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

As a publicity stunt, it's working. ‪#‎NoBillNoBreak‬ is getting a lot of positive publicity tonight.  For the NRA meat puppets of the GOP, ummm, not so much...

‪#‎StayTheFloor‬ ‪#‎MakeAmericaSafeAgain‬

Thanks for coming.

See you tomorrow.
