Jon Stewart on the Stupidity of Congress and IT IS GETTING WORSE!!!

To say Jon Stewart was on fire last night would be an understatement. Stewart was as snarky and intense as I’ve seen him in quite some time while discussing the current shenanigans going on in the Senate over a bill aimed at curbing human trafficking.



For those of you who might not know, currently there’s an anti-human trafficking bill being held up in the Senate because Republicans are trying to add an unrelated anti-abortion amendment to the bill. What the GOP is trying to do is strip all federal funds away from any institution that performs abortions, claiming that “taxpayers don’t want their money to go to funding abortions.” But what they’re really doing is trying to strip funding away from centers that provide women with an array of health care services.

It’s just another one of their many attacks on women’s rights. Since Republicans can’t place an outright ban on abortion, they’re trying to do anything they possibly can to make it next to impossible for a woman to get one. After all, what good are abortion rights if a woman can’t find any place to legally have one?
I know this news is shocking to all of you. Republicans playing petty partisan politics by trying to force through a right-wing amendment concerning something that’s completely unrelated to the bill at hand – that never happens.
Oh, wait, yeah it does… all the time.
