(40,212 posts)What bullshit. As if they were going to vote to find him guilty and remove him from office, but since Schiff mentioned the CBS report they are going to vote the other way. Give me a fucking break. Im so sick of them and their sophomoric crap. They are all traitors.

(8,419 posts)In fact they originally voted it down. Was very contentious, and basically a Super Bowl was on the line. The NFL came out, due to pressure, and said if it wasn't approve then the Super Bowl the following year would be pulled. Bryan Gumble, a black NFL announcer basically reported on the issue, and commented how ridiculous it would be to not ratify MLK Day, especially with a Super Bowl on the line.
The rallying cry for the racists who weren't going to vote for it anyway, we aren't letting some New Yorker tell us what to do. They voted down MLK Day and lost a Super Bowl.
Now logically, if you aren't going to let some New Yorker influence your decision, you would have ignored his comments. Unless you were a racist POS and were never going to vote for it to begin with and were looking for an excuse to blame it on a black guy.
So to each and everyone of them using the excuse, it is bullshit and we all know it.

In a sane world they could not get away with that.
