Thank You, Sweet Karma Angel.
Republican North Carolina Congressman Mark Walker has a damm good idea.
He introduced a bill “to save the US from seeing any more former members of Congress taking up congressional lobbying, if they have not paid back taxpayer money used to settle sexual harassment settlements.”
The legislation to be introduced on Wednesday will reportedly be called The Bad Lawmakers Accountability and Key Emends or, or the BLAKE Act, named after the former Texas congressman.
Yes, that would be named after Blake Farenthold, and man who settled a sexual harassment suit with taxpayer money he refuses to give back, resigned, and then had a friend at a governmental agency give him a government job paying more than he made as a congressman to be a lobbyist in a secret and illegal deal.
This man deserves his own bill, and bygawd, it looks like he’s gonna get it.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
I like his PJs picture better, but not right after breakfast, so thanks for not showing that one this time.
1Wow; there is a g-d.
2The only bill I want to see this nacilbupeR POS is one for all monies Blake Farenthold owes the US being delivered by an irritated deputy Sheriff from Travis County. Or by the US Marshal Service’s Violent Fugitive Apprehension Team.
3Lucky I was near the sofa when I read this! At least I had some place soft to land when I swooned!
4too, too true.
also limit post congress lobbying.
all must wait 8 years and register and submit monthly reports on lobbying activities for 10 years.
5But will it be retroactive? This is the key point. I want to nail his ass to, if you’ll forgive me, the wall.
6That pic looks like a cropped mug shot, with the forced ShitEatinGrin on Señor Tocino’s puss.
A prime candidate for a baconotomy is ol’ Blake.
He better stay well clear of the processing plant of the best damned chorizo on the planet:
“Chorizo de San Manuel”, located in Linn-San Manuel, TX (not too many miles south of Falfurrias and Corpus Christi, and north of Edinburg). Not that they would use such a low-grade ‘canner&cutter’ hoofer.
I highly recommend this brand, been enjoying it for 40+ years (and sometimes used to work within sight of the plant, stopping to buy stuff direct once in a while); now sold in many grocers, HEB, etc).:

(yes, you do slit the casing and put the chorizo itself in the pan sin piel)

Hee hee hee. A bill of his very own, by a Republican, yet. Thank you, Mark Walker!
8He is the most vile and repugnant thing to walk the face of this earth.
