    So a single sycophantic congresswoman from Florida introduces a bill with no budget, no analysis on its feasibility, and no widespread interest from the Republican base; a bill that hasn’t even gone to committee, yet alone be eligible for a vote; and you think that equals “they have the votes for it”?

    Jesus fucking Christ, take a few minutes to learn just the bare fucking basics of how the government works. There’s a Schoolhouse Rock video that even explains it nicely in song form.

    ANY congressperson can submit a bill for anything. It doesn’t take much at all. Tomorrow a congressperson could submit a bill saying that nails are illegal and all meat products are to be replaced by stone figurines of Marie Antoinette. It doesn’t mean anything! Congresspeople create this kind of crap literally all the time! It’s not worth talking about until it has slightly more than a snowball’s chance in hell of having support.
