Today was a very exciting day in the Missouri legislature. First, the veto of SB 509 was overturned, giving Missouri taxpayers the first tax cut in almost 100 years. Then, lawlessness broke out in the Senate gallery. And tonight, a filibuster is being carried out in the Senate.
Whats a radical Democrat to do?
Easy. Make jokes about four dead Americans:
Thinking of saying “Benghazi” while debating tomorrow on the House floor. Just to see what happens. #moleg

@staceynewman regardless of your political view on the matter, people serving our country died and deserve more than to be your punchline.
— Bunky Luffman (@BunkyLuffman) May 7, 2014
