White House Petition of the Day: Make Legislators Wear Logos of Corporate Backers
The latest brilliant idea to come out of We The People website is this petition suggesting that lawmakers should be required to be more transparent about their financial backers by wearing logos of their corporate “sponsors,” just like the NASCAR drivers do. As of Thursday evening, it has accrued more than 9,000 of the 100,000 signatures it needs to be formally addressed by the White House. GOOD magazine previously explored this idea with photoshopped mockups of New York Senator Charles Schumer and Florida Senator Marco Rubio donning logo patches of their contributors on their suits.
Hat tip goes to Dangerous Minds.
Backed.
We shouldn’t be patting Rob Portman on the back, instead, we should be berating him for why it took this long.
Do you notice a trend here? This story does not make me happy, on the contrary it almost pisses me off more. I just see this as another Republican saying, “Oh, I can’t be a dick about this issue anymore because now it personally affects me.” And this is always the case with anti progressive people. They can’t see the bigger picture until it directly involves them, be it gay marriage, gun rights, a woman’s right to choose, etc. Get with the god damn program, this is getting tiring.
Here’s an important video I made of all the dry mouth noises Marco Rubio made during his State of the Union response last night.
RIP Rubio 2016. I couldn’t even finish watching this. I’d almost feel bad for the guy if his speech wasn’t almost all complete garbage.
Republicans questioning things like math and science? You don’t say…

I’m way late on this, but whatever.

House Republicans don’t actually cut the deficit, because they cut safety net programs to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
Give a Republican a fish and he’ll think he learned how to fish. Teach him to fish and he’ll call you socialist.
