So the Senate defeated a gun control bill. Doesn’t matter what the bill was about. The fact of the matter is the bill was defeated. Game over. End of story. But in an actual REAL LIFE situation today, a bunch of congressman took their ball and went home because they lost:

There it is folks. This is why we can’t have nice things. All of these people were elected by the people to vote on bills. They voted on a bill and it didn’t go their way and now they’re refusing to work. This is how they honestly believe a democracy works. Voting doesn’t matter. Hissy-fits matter.
And everyone single one of the fuckmuffins on their cell phones should bow their heads in shame. Newsflash – if you’re on your cell phone while you’re protesting, then you’re not really protesting. You’re playing Candy Crush and taking selfies to put on Twitter so you can feel good about yourself. During a real sit-in people throw milkshakes on you and put cigarettes out on your neck. Ask John Lewis, he’s been through a few of those.
Then there’s this:
Whether we're standing to filibuster or sitting in protest, Senate and House Democrats are taking action to end gun violence. #NOMORESILENCE
— Senate Democrats (@SenateDems) June 22, 2016
Stop making me like Republicans!!! Turtleboy really doesn’t wanna like Republicans but you idiots are making that impossible!!!These idiot congressmen have adopted the same tactics as Occupy Wall Street and black lives matter. You’re not taking any action to end gun violence. You’re sitting down on a taxpayer funded carpet while collecting a salary to LITERALLY DO NOTHING. Do you honestly think Paul Ryan is gonna see this and change his mind? Have we reached that level of stupidity? Ya know what’s gonna happen when this sit in is finished? The bill is STILL gonna fail, and all these jackwagons are gonna look like bigger idiots.
The bottom line is, you lost. America is a representative democracy. Republicans control the House and the Senate, so for the time being, they get to win more often than not. If you don’t like it then vote the Republicans out. This is how grown up world works.
Fuck. Congress.
P.S. Old people who use hashtags (AKA Congress) to try to seem hip are the most annoying people on earth. You’re fucking old. Embrace it and stop trying to be cool.

I am glad they can’t work. Work for them is wasting millions on some overpriced bike path that is 15 seconds long on a tricycle while North Lake Ave is about to fall into the lake and is reduced to one-way.
Look, I’m sorry 30-something kindergarteners got their brains blown out all over the classroom wall, but YOU CANNOT TAKE MY GUNS!!!!!
Well I guess they showed they mean business ………….as they order for goose down pillows and Dunkin Donuts? 25 hours? No hunger strike? No chaining themselves to a tree? Obviously these protestors are not as invested to the cause as they make out to be.
Maybe McGovern should just vote. And since there is no bill his vote will be a nullity like it often is. McGovern does realize that ? there is nothing to vote on ? maybe not. ….boy wish he cared about the porous borders that have proven time and time again to allow in dangerous people.
How is this really different than any other day Congress gets paid to do nothing? Whats the difference if it is a “sit-in” or a fillibuster or just plain saying no to everything? In all those cases, nothing gets done. Our Congress has shown that they prefer to do nothing unless they are forced to act, and even then, being forced doesn’t always seem to spur action. Yes, we have a representative democracy but when almost 90% of the country supports something and Congress still fails to act on it, we have a problem with our representation and something needs to be done. But the first step is to bring this attention so that people are forced to see the nonsense both sides are engaging in. This will as you say, make some people like Republicans, but it will also make some like Democrats for at least bringing this much needed public attention and for standing up for the will of the people.
Maybe Triggly Puff wlll bring them some dounts/
But none of those white powered ones, they are racist.
The liberals once again exploit tragedy and try to keep the American people’s eye of the ball, namely the Country is not safe since Obama got in. Especially the last 4 years. ISIS came into existence under Obama, the JV team, he said. In concept the America people do not want suspected terrorists to buy guns, but that is not what the liberals proposed in the actual legislation. The devil is always in the details.
If you don’t get your way scream and stomp your feet and throw a tantrum. McGovern has always wanted to turn the U.S. into a third world shit hole. Now Congress looks just like the ones in Venezuela and South Korea. Too bad these dolts didn’t care as much about terrorists or making the black neighborhoods safe.
Our American Government is the worst system in the world. Except for ALL the others. Look, we have a society and political system that is not perfect, but our so-called Leaders (Democrats) staging an embarrassing stunt because the didn’t get the result they wanted is ridiculous. You wonder why this society is degrading as people that don’t get their way blame others, throw tantrums, and shout down free speech of opposing views.
Good take TB
How about enforcing existing gun laws before passing new ones. Besides, the ultimate goal here is to take away everyone’s guns, but does anyone actually believe that the criminals will turn in their guns.
How about focusing on the real issue — radical Islamic terror!
Do you want to earn from home by working basic work using your desktop or laptop for 4 to 6 h on daily basis, get paid 91 bucks an hour and get a paycheck every week and choose yourself your working time…
Then see this——- HomeBiz70.Tk
vers
Democrats using the Stalin and hitler playbook to take guns from law abiding citizens. Sen. Cummings thanks for your work on getting blacks equal rights,but now your sitting to take away rights,forgot where you came from I guess.
These guys are the only ones actually doing their jobs, dipshit. The US overwhelmingly wants these measures to pass but bought and corrupt trashbags in our government will never do anything about it.
These guys are the only people in government actively using their time to better the country as opposed to all those who we shovel money at to do NOTHING.
Um, where are you getting your info? Cuz what you said there just isn’t true.
Love how these clowns don’t want terrorists to get guns. The second amendment trumps that shit, sorry libtards.
Yet another gun law would’ve definitely stopped the Orlando, San Bernardino and Paris terrorist attacks. Definitely. The Islamic terrorist would’ve been scared shitless knowing he was in violation of a liberal democrat law. Yeah, that’s it.
We should pass a law making it illegal to murder 49 people…..oh nevermind.
I don’t see democrats approving either of the 2 republican proposed gun control measures. If they were serious about change they would take what they can get instead of acting like stubborn nudniks.
Yeah such babies! They should just do what the Republicans do and try again. I mean they voted over 50 times to repeal Obama-care, despite the fact that they didn’t have the votes. Did they give up? Or try to get the votes? Or maybe offer alternative legislation? No! They brought it to a vote 50 more times! That’s dedication!
Turtle Boy love your blog really only read it on Facebook but read pretty much all of it cuz I love it but what the fuck is with the fucking ads I’m getting spam I’m getting fucking slow loads I’m getting bullshit Brazilian hotties marry me ads like what the fuck please fix it
Elizabeth Warren sitting Idian style…What a fraud. Shame on thr rubes of this state for electing such an embarrassment.
Remember when the protest and photo-op was outside on the steps? The cleaning crew needs to throw these bindle-stiffs out so they can vacuum the carpet and turn off the lights.
What a bunch of dick heads. Hey McGovern, you fucktard, You’re party lost in the last election and you’re in the minority now. Get over it and act like an adult!!! Glad to have moved out of Mass and now live in GA!!!!
Too bad for the safety and the security of the country they didn’t sit in against terrorism within our own borders that has taken off under this President.
Shouldn’t the headline read “Congressmen?” Seriously, aren’t you a former teacher?
What the fuck is your problem?
You believe a website called buffalo bruises but Turtleboy is the stupid one. Keep going you’re on a roll!!

Not Just the No-Fly List
June 14, 2016
by Lori Robertson
SEE Washington Post, December 11, 2015
Democrats’ misleading claims about closing the no-fly list ‘loophole’
The bill Democrats have proposed WOULD NOT USE just the No-Fly List of approx 64k people. But it would be from a very large “Watch List” which would include over a million people. It is unclear how people are added to the “Watch List” or whether they actually belong on the list at all. The Republicans want to insure due process rights for those placed on the “Watch List” and allowing them a means to contest.
So who actually has the right to add someone to the Watch List?? Can they add just anyone??
[I am cross-posting to the other TB article]
Turtle boy just because your wife is a teacher you should not be ascared to admit your conservative leanings. Grow a pair and step up into the adult world. Instead of cow towing to MTA show your stones and come out of the closet.
Kind of hypocritical since the Dems shot down the two Republican bills that were presented, just like the Republicans shot down the two Democratic bills.
Instead of making another silly law, why not enforce the ones that we currently have?? Hope they get hemorrhoids from sitting on the hard floor. LOL!
Shouldn’t the McGoverator be cutting a ribbon to open the rest of the bike path?
Its already destroyed.
Fast Eddie Markey, Jim “muy communista simpatico” McGovern, Lizzie “faux-cahontas” Warren. Make me sooo proud to be from Massachusetts. Buncha blow hard do nothings living off my dime and not subject to the same laws as the rest of us. Just imagine the response from these tools along with the media if the republicans pulled this meaningless crap.
You don’t have to imagine, the R’s have done the same thing in the past. Next……
You’re funny. Sure you’re not on Jimmy’s payroll? Or do you prefer being an unpaid useful idiot?
You don’t like facts? Maybe you’re better off staying in your little dreamworld!
Warren needs her head examined!
The lemmings who voted for Fauxcahontas are the ones that need their heads examined (and their souls).
You poor SOB.
It was people like my father and grandmother that put Warren in office…along with every other person residing in a cemetery.
This article is 100% inaccurate. Umm…you do realize the bills came up for vote in the Senate. And the “sit in” is happening in the House of Representatives. Two totally different groups of people. Congressmen and women in the House did not get to vote on any bills because the Republicans won’t allow a vote. That’s why it’s #NoBillNoBreak. They are demanding a vote. Only the Senate had a vote so far.
I mean…I can’t…this is basic stuff, dude.
There is no room for facts here on TurtleTrump. We must pander to our angry reader base in order to gain more clicks/likes/shares. That is all.
Basic but still lacking any integrity. Would any of the bills actually do anything to curtail violence using a gun, or would they just be chipping away at law abiding citizens’ 2A rights? Don’t attempt to answer – honest people know when they are being pandered to for the liberals’political gain.
These hypocrites NEED these bills to fail, so that the Dem members can go back to their districts to tell the lemmings that their republican challengers voted against them. Republicans aren’t playing their games. Political posturing and exploiting tragedies are the Democrats’ stock in trade, and the media abets it. Republicans aren’t much better but they’re not nearly as despicable or outright dishonest as these Dem hucksters.
Well it sounds like the House does not want to vote. The point is the same. Hissy fit.
I’m sure that all these “Protesters” are refusing their pay checks too, right?. In my day, the late 60’s early 70’s. We protested in the streets and got gassed and wacked by the cops. These muffins are sitting in an air conditioned building, having food brought in and have the best police protection in the country. Protest my ass this is a pre-school for pussys
And now they say they’re bringing in pillows and blankets so they can spend the night!!
Pretentious McGovern, has to get up front for the photo. Looks pretty silly to me, dumb too. Won’t make any difference anymore !
These members of congress are not merely liberal, they are in fact admitted members of the Congressional Socialists. Every congressman in Massachusetts is except Steve Lynch.
“Whether we’re standing to filibuster or sitting in protest, Senate and House Democrats are taking action to end gun violence.”
Tell that to the people of Illinois – you know, where all those super-restrictive gun laws are really helping:
“The city (of Chicago) recorded its 300th homicide this weekend and went on to record six others over a 60-hour period that saw 59 people shot, 13 fatally, from Friday afternoon through early Monday morning.” – Chicago Tribune, June 20th, 2016
Father’s Day weekend, for Christ’d sake.
Turds. The leading cause of death for 18-24 year olds is automobile crashes. Any talk of banning cars, changing the driving age or railiing against the auto industry?
Yes, there is always talk of more safety regulations for the auto industry. Unfortunately the GOP is not fond of safety.
And Dems are not fond of truth Your post pretty much proves that.
Really? How so?
Crickets!
In Massachusetts Democrat appointed judge coddle drunk drivers. Even after they kill.
Oh my Lord, yeah right. You always see government trying to crack down on all safe drivers following a car accident!
What?
Are you retarded? Are cars designed to kill people or are you too stupid to make an analogy? False equivalence, look it up, chief.
Spot on, actually. It WOULD be the DRIVER of the car who killed, not the car. Same with firearms.
Chief? That’s a microaggression. You are inpuning my Native American heritage!
