all these articles like "she vanished from washington" like... nobody noticed? family didn't care? they don't call roll in congress??

If your ancient, racist family member was a conservative congressperson, would you really care what happened to her enough to find out

During her tenure, Granger has supported more than $50 million in earmarks to infrastructure projects in Fort Worth that benefited the Trinity River Vision Authority, an organization her son heads.

Oh, I guess someone SHOULD a little bit lmao

So she just hasn't been voting for 6 months, I wonder if that has made her more or less damaging than voting straight yes for all evil shit

I'm sure if it mattered they would have rolled her out and given her the feinstein treatment.

how long until they start puppeting an actual corpse of the-democrat to vote us into serfdom

nobody noticed her gone she's just that evil or that ineffective

Weekend at Burnie's reboot but it's two congressional aides dragging Sanders' body around the capital.

Bernie is far from perfect but do we really gotta go after arguably the best member of congress in our lifetimes?

Don’t get me wrong I’m still mad at him for a lot of stuff and I didn’t even vote for him this time around (Vermonter) but at least the guys heart is mostly in the right place even if he’s cowardly and ineffectual.

He's old, and his name is Burnie, find me another Burnie in congress and they can be the star of Weekend at Burnie's.
