Boehner Folds On Folding, Cancels Resignation Press Conference

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just when you thought the idiocy couldn't get any more surreal, it does, courtesy of Reuters:

  • BREAKING NEWS: House Speaker Boehner cancels press conference on resignation

Perhaps he was just dehydrated?

And just like that, "folding" Boehner folded one last time, ironically, on folding his Congressional Career.

I am beginning to think that the Pope heard his confession, was aghast at what was revealed, and as penance, told him to resign.

"I have serious concerns with this budget, which demands hardworking American families and job creators turn over more of their hard-earned money to the government to pay for unprecedented spending increases...(that do not directly benefit me, my family, anyone I know, or anyone that has personally "Contributed" and/or "Lobbied" me for favors)"

Cuckservative Image Memes: The Kevin MacDonald Collection
Peter Brimelow former Executive Editor, Forbes magazine

Now that Alexander Hart and the force of history have overwhelmed my prudish objections and introduced the term “cuckservative” to VDARE.com’s refined readership, I might as well add that Kevin MacDonald has some savagely funny image memes in his powerful Occidental Observer essay The Cuckservative Phenomenon. As a student of Buckley and National Review, I was naturally amused...

Purging America’s White Male Heroes Patrick J. Buchanan September 14, 2015

In Canada they had a Ugandan immigrant giving a particularly virulent form of AIDS to white canadian women, and what a LONG list it was. Then in Idaho another African, a college student, gave AIDS to a shitload of White co-eds. The MEDIA has taught white women that black males are the BEST. While white males are the butt of jokes and ridicule, if they are of the J-Tribe they too are depicted as god-like, like the black.

The problem is the voters don't think they have anyplace else to go. Let me make a suggestion; take the consent you have mistakenly given to the State and leave. Your support lends credibility to the empire.

The US Government, Inc. is not a government of the people. It is a political body which, if you are a registered voter, you are a member of. It doesn't matter what the laws of this voluntary society are because what ever they are, by agreement, you must obey unless you leave. It has little to nothing to do with the American Constitution or your state Constitutions. Those Constitutions are there to protect the People. The corporate government is something you must knowingly volunteer to be a part of which removes you from most of the protections of the Constitutions. Oh, you didn't know! Why did you sign up without reading the contract? Oh, I see, you weren't told there was a contract but you signed anyway because you thought it was "required" of everyone. No, being a signer of the contract was not required except if you wanted to join the corporation.

Just my take on membership in the matrix.
