GOP kills bill against pay discrimination

The terrorist maniacs who constitute most of the Senate's Republicans have just killed a bill that would have eased limits on how long workers could wait before suing employers for pay discrimination.

I thought the Democrats controlled the Senate now. Don't tell me they caved again. What? They did? Who'd have ever thought!

The Republicans' excuse for opposing the bill is that the bill would have caused a flood of lawsuits. Well, it should. Otherwise, employers would just get away with pay discrimination. If a business doesn't want to lose a lawsuit, it shouldn't discriminate. Period.

The scuttling of this legislation still didn't soothe the inane ravings of bubble gum fanatic Mitch McConnell. He cried that the Democrats had scheduled the vote on the bill so its presidential candidates could vote for it. Sounds like Mitch the Glitch has a case of sore loser syndrome: The Republicans don't get to make the rules anymore, because the voters ousted them from their majority. Of course the Republicans usually do make the rules, thanks to the appeasers in the DLC, or else this bill would have moved forward. Out of a 100-member Senate, it had 57 votes, so it should have passed!

Do the Republicans actually try consciously to top their own miserable reputation? Or are they on autopilot now? I know everything now is anticlimactic after the fascism bull run of mid-decade, so I think it has to be the latter. The GOP is too lazy to actually work at making themselves worse than they already were.
