He hasn't been laughed at in decades. He's probably worked relentlessly to accrue as much petty power and totally real computer wealth to prevent ever being laughed at ever again. And after all, he's a member of congress, has been for fifteen years over which time his net worth has risen by over 400%.

But it still hits the nerve of the obnoxious fucking twerp whose peers in high school probably loathed him.

u/CakeTester 1d ago

First amendment means the government can't come after you for what you say. You're guaranteed the right to criticise the government without ending up in a gulag. In theory.

In fact, as a government representative, he was theoretically breaking the first amendment by trying to shut the audience down. Whereas the audience is guaranteed the right to criticise, or laugh at blatant lies.

We aren't supposed to just shut up and listen. They want us to give their nonsensical views equal weight with actual facts, logic, and peer reviewed studies.

And this the exact outcome Republicans have been planning for with all their decades of slashing public education as far as the courts would allow.

They swore after Nickson's Nixon's impeachment that it would never happen again. And instead of improving the morality of their party, they......did this..........

This is what puzzles me. I knew, 20 years ago that any attack on Iran would result in the immediate closure of the strait. If I knew, how did they not anticipate this?

They aren’t. But republicans only know how to be a minority power. They fundamentally don’t know how to govern the country. They only know how to blame someone else for problems.

So when they are in power, they don’t know what to do. So they do what they always do and blame the democrats. Even when democrats have no power federally. Their base typically buys it but it’s been failing a lot more lately because they are in full control and their base knows it so it’s hard to blame anyone else.

And as a result, they just get angry and just walk away

Diesel prices have gone up because the democrats environmental regulations...

Yeah bro... Look; I drive a diesel pickup truck. Ive had a diesel pickup truck in my driveway since 2009, save a couple years. I have also worked in the trucking industry, and spent time around all sorts of diesel equipment.

Yes. I HATE DEF / SCRs / DPFs / EGRs and all the emissions BS they put on diesel trucks now adays.

Why? Diesel was always preferred to me because of the longevity and economy. My 1 ton pre-def pickup with an economy tune would average 26mpg down the highway and were regularly known to push the 500k miles mark no problem. The equivalent gas motor was good for 15 mpgs and 150k mi if you were lucky. Now, with all these emissions shit on, my current, post-def, 3/4 ton will get 21 down the highway and ill be lucky to get 250k on the clock before the motors done.

On highway trucks (semis, not passenger), that run OTR the environmental shit works. The regulations have pushed smaller motors that are more efficient and pollute less. On everything else (dump trucks, garbage trucks, local delivery, etc), all those emissions stuff add to increased maintenance costs, decreased longevity, and increased fuel consumption.

That said, we are talking about small percentages, with regulations constantly pushing for improvements. Do I wish I, a guy with a pickup truck, who occasionally hauls a boat, an ATV, or an RV, could run without all that stuff and get 25+ mpg down the highway and double the life expectancy of my truck? yes. But does the 4mpg loss = diesel going from $2.87 / gal to $6.89/ gal in 8 months????? NO you fucking moron. You have to be pretty fucking daft to believe that.

Oh, and P.S. The first amendment doesnt mean you can just say made up shit then get mad when people call your BS.

21

u/love2killjoy410 1d ago

I appreciate your honesty. The amount of videos I've seen in the past few months of people saying it's either democrats/ Biden that's caused the gas prices to rise. COMPLETELY IGNORING the war and the coinciding risen gas prices. It's mind boggling.

19

u/Car_is_mi 1d ago

Diesel emissions systems started in 2008. Our Diesel prices have been relatively consistent for the better part of 17 years. You would have to be pretty stupid or brainwashed to believe something that has had no major affect for 17 years, suddenly caused a 300% cost increase, that also just happened to coincide with the beginning of a war, which shut down the worlds largest crude oil passageway, but those two things are unrelated...

The first amendment is protection from the government punishing you from speech not criticism from your constituents. Republicans really forgot they’re public servants that work for US. Time to be unemployed!

He thinks being laughed at is somehow a violation of his free speech?? And we’re somehow the snowflakes!?!?

u/thefanciestcat 1d ago

As soon as a stupid person gets criticized for a thing they said while exercising their first amendment rights, your first amendment right to criticize them is suddenly a violation of their first amendment rights.

Watch how often it happens. Even people getting down voted on reddit will start shrieking about their rights. Anything to avoid addressing the actual criticism, I guess.

Maybe, just maybe, as a member of Congress, he should learn what the 1st Amendment means. Being laughed at for saying something so blatantly dishonest is not a violation of his 1st Amendment rights.

u/Sevwin 1d ago

They always blame instead of take accountability and work towards a solution. They as in this administration.

u/philovax 1d ago

This man is a shit stain. Turning against your constituents then attempting to play an Uno Reverse card on 1A.

You are the public figure take the criticism.

u/Whyamiani 15h ago

Don't worry, republicans will keep voting republican and keep blaming democrats for their failures. Every time. Dumbest fucking people in existence.

IDK what point he thought he was making, but the first amendment protects the freedom to ridicule idiots

Nope. The problem is Andy, you don’t actually know how the 1st actually works. Learn to read.

Hopefully Republicans have had enough of this bullshit and don't vote red in a few weeks.

u/megook 1d ago

It’s also rude to lie to people and to insult their intelligence.

u/Fact420 1d ago

If this guy didn’t want to be laughed at he shouldn’t have told such a funny joke.

u/CallMeSisyphus 1d ago

Seems they've all forgotten that THEY are the employees and WE are their bosses. I can only hope we get it together enough to remind them of that and fire their insubordinate asses on November 3.

u/KindBikeDuck Just two people trying to bust a nut 1d ago

Yeah, the reason diesel prices IN AUSTRALIA (actually, pretty much everywhere) have almost doubled is due to Environmental Regulations (that ONLY apply in the US) that the Democrats put in place a few years ago...

We tend to call out the bullshit, it has nothing to do with the First Amendment, Dumbass.

I’m sorry. Are those people the government?

Republicans are such thinned skinned little bitches who have no idea what the first amendment is.

u/anyavailablenameplz 1d ago

What’s funny is he’s literally projecting how his base is when it comes to the 1st Amendment.

The party actively trying to censor news outlets/channels is whining about the 1st Amendment, can’t make this shit up.

Edit: forgot to mention trying to censor the press overall by taking away credentials.

u/Pndrizzy 1d ago

this strategy seems to be effective

i'm down to start going to Republican events and laugh at the ridiculous things they say, like its a comedy show

sure, the supporters are rabid and they may attack you, but so far that's seemingly only happening at Trump rallies

u/Gold_Past_6346 1d ago

He’s the Government. He’s not supposed to oppress free speech. She’s the electorate. The 1st doesn’t apply to her.

u/messagepad2100 1d ago

These reps actually think they are better than you, and that you should obey them..

Is "the Democrats" in the room with him now?

“You say there’s a first amendment…”

Yeah, fucker. You can’t police our words. We can ridicule your shit opinion.

u/manical1 1d ago

the environmental regulations were already there before the prices went up when the war started. Oh, I am sorry that you get to breath clean air, but the prices that have gone up recently weren't because of the regulations.

u/p1gnone 21h ago

He doesn't have a clue of the meaning of 1A: that the government cannot bar you from publishing or expressing your views. Being ridiculed off stage by the crowd is not that.

u/diceyicey22 20h ago

That posture and mic grip just radiate 'I'm about to tell you something you need to hear,' meanwhile everyone else has already tuned out. We've all been subjected to that sermon before.

EPA admin is a Republican, appointed by Trump. But yeah it's the Democrats fault

So many people seem to think the First Amendment means others aren’t allowed to criticize (or laugh at) their dumb arguments.

This man thinks that his first amendment rights means that people must quietly listen to him lying to their faces lol

u/Handsprime 1d ago

Weird how he is blaiming the democrats when Trump himself acknowledges that the war in Iran is what is causing higher gas prices.

u/Present-History666 1d ago

Does laughing at him from the privacy of my own home count as a first ammendment violation? He must've forgotten he was being recorded to abandon all hope immediately instead of going for the save.
