I was wondering if video presentations on screens (generically called powerpoint slides) is not permitted on the Floor of the House of Representatives.

Telling the truth in the halls of congress rarely comes to much.

I guess it’s not one of those useless Big Charts that they sometimes use. Those are a total waste.

Dems need to grow a backbone and stand together to stand up to them.

Unless he means rule within the house of representatives. Which he does.

On my list of most annoying things of the decade.

I think the definition of “rule” needs to be looked at more closely.

As much as I despise the GOP agenda/ideology, at they get shit done. Dems controlled all three for 2 years and seemed to spend most of their time asking the GOP for permission to function.

If you have to do that, then you shouldn’t be the one making a video which is nearly silent.
