You know I do hate when I have to do someone else’s job better then them. Even when it constitutes a level of basic knowledge. Rep Eric Swalwell from California had a question a few other dems asked for the sake of a gotcha.

As a dem lets go over why this only shows the dems have lost more touch with people then ever.

Currently the republicans hold all three major houses, but not total power. Total power would come when they have 60 people in the senate for a couple reasons. One it would be the amount to pass continuing resolution bills, like the one that our shutdown was caused by just this past week. The other is the Filibuster where it currently stands that 3/5 majority or sixty would be needed. Some of the reasons would go to the need for a larger support and more likely then that the need to work with multiple parties as often times one party even at great strength do not have the votes to break a filibuster.

Can the filibuster be changed? Yes. That however is a bot of a nuclear deterrent and would allow the democrats to do the same if they got back in office before the heat death of the universe.

Continuing Resolutions are harder to change the votes needed and as it stands will be something that will not change currently, so why is there a problem.

Well, in these bills are things called riders, thin of them as a little something to make someone vote your way for the whole thing. Right now a lot of democrats are not getting medical aid for illegal immigrants (one of the riders proposed) and are not getting the affordable care act  credits extended which they wanted as well.

Now, it is something he should know, and he looks foolish, and makes the dems look so as well because he does not know this.

I may know why he doesn’t know and wanted to show everyone lawyers can be boneheads at times.

Rep. Swalwell is a lawyer in California. And for those who don’t know I just put a pair of the most lore intensive detail needed bureaucratic heavy categories together. Try to think yourself learning Latin and the other language your teacher knows is Klingon. Very difficult and a lot of stuff to keep on hand, so most likely he just thought it was a majority pass, didn’t think twice wrote the tweet, and now is on my wall of shame.

Do I know him? No. Could he be a bonehead? Chance of it happening. I would say in this case I am not impressed with him but that is more not impressed with a lot of people and he currently decided to sample his shoes for putting his foot in his xbox. (mouth)

I did hear of the whole fang fang thing. For the sake of not writing a thesis I am not going to touch it. Swalwell is a bonehead for this tweet, try again next time.

Everyone is a bonehead at times on social media, at this point just shrug and hope it’s a blip and not a sign of average content.
