It was the town hall that wasn’t supposed to happen.
For the better part of two hours Friday night, pissed-off Hoosiers jeered, chanted, and booed at Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., one of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s most fervent supporters in Congress.
It was a case in point for why senior Republican leaders have advised their members against holding such events at all.
Spartz, however, is often at odds with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. She plowed through the taunts as a crowd outside shouted, “Do your job!” Inside, the crowd roared in anger at mentions of Elon Musk and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Brian Jonasen, an Air Force veteran who has helped organize protests at the Indiana Statehouse, said, “The one thing we hope that maybe she takes back with her is that the people are mad. They are angry.”
They have addresses. You can always show up and park on their lawn if they’re feeling shy.
Their literal, elected, PAID job is to hold town hall meetings and listen to their constituents.
Well, that, and to act as a check/balance to the powers of the presidency and supreme court… Which they are also not doing.
Even if they agree with the insane shit that trump is doing, it is their job to legislate it, rather than sit on their thumbs and let him create law by executive policy.
That reminds me, I have to sharpen my guillotine.
Remember, sharpening the Guillotine is for the benefit of the guillotinee, not the user.
Being sharper is good for high volume use. It will get dull on cervical vertebrae soon enough.
Use a mill bastard file, and finish with a whetstone. Better edge!
Good advice, thanks!
Dull it. Less humane.
Sharpen it’s, it keeps us honest
Serrate it. Chaos is fair.
“The one thing we hope that maybe she takes back with her is that the people are mad.”
Aw that’s cute. As if they even pretend to give a shit.
