2023-07-20
Arrr! A scurvy group of 10 landlubber House Republicans joined forces with them Democrats to send that bilge-sucking Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg straight to Davy Jones' locker! The bill, brought forth by Rep. Mary Miller, a fine soul from Illinois, to make that scallywag report his flight records on government-owned jets, was sent to Davey Jones' locker with a measly 219-216 vote. Aye, 10 Republicans betrayed their own crew, while only three Democrats showed a hint of pirate spirit!
Arrr, me hearties! Let me regale ye with a tale of political shenanigans that unfolded in the hallowed halls of Congress. Aye, a group of 10 brave House Republicans be joinin' forces with the scallywag Democrats to sink a bill that would have forced that landlubber Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, to report his flight records on them government-owned jets!The bill, introduced by the feisty Rep. Mary Miller from the land of Ill, be a sly amendment to the FAA reauthorization legislation. But alas, it met an unfortunate fate, bein' defeated in a narrow 219-216 vote late on a moonlit Wednesday. Avast! Ten Republicans turned their backs on the cause, while three Democrats saw the light and voted in favor of the measure.
Now, ye may be wonderin', why would these scurvy dogs betray their own crew and abandon the fight against wasteful government spending? Well, one can only speculate. Perhaps they be harboring a secret admiration for Secretary Buttigieg's dashing good looks and charming smile. Or maybe they be entangled in a web of backroom deals and secret alliances. Who knows what skeletons be hiding in their closets?
But fear not, me hearties, for this be just one battle in the never-ending war of politics. The seas be treacherous, but we must not lose hope. As long as there be a glimmer of light and a spark of wit, we can still fight for accountability and transparency in our government. So hoist the anchor, set sail, and let the winds of change carry us forward. Arrr!
