I think we should change the names of Space Marine chapters to vagina names to protest Congress. The Ultravaginas, the Blood Vaginas, Vagina Angels, Vagina Scars, Vagina Fists, Vagina Guard, Iron Vaginas, Vagina Wolves and Salamanders... they don't quite work...

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Politicians disgust me more than any anatomical term.
Also love the amendment about men getting the snip
It's why I like the Queen so much mate. Politicians are such utter slime, such vile oxygen thieves, that by default I support anything that looks even slightly like an alternative.
Seriously, she could dissolve parliament and rule with an iron fist as far as I am concerned. Before
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Nice.
There is no offense over the wording, it was offense to demeanor, they felt slighted, like she making jokes at thier expense, and she was.
Also politicians of every stripe and party affilliation will try such methods to silence thier opposition. That is the nature of the work. Flush them all out the nearest airlock with the lawyers and bankers and let's get on with life.

All these chapters would have to fall under the Red Rage special rule though, and once a month all of them will run around yelling "Blood for the Blood god!"

dear god, vagina scars, blood vaginas and iron vaginas sound like horrible, horrible chapters.

There are also the Vagina Tearers, Vaginas of Damnation, Vaginas of Ecstasy, Vagina Claws, Berserker's of Vaginas, Vagina Hunters, Emperor's Vaginas, The Flawless Vaginas, Vaginakillers, Vagina Drinkers.....
There is no limit to horrible Vaginal puns you could make with Space Marine Chapter names.
Probably shouldn't leave the Choas Legions out of the fun. Sons of Vagina, Death Vaginas, Vagina Legion, Vagina Bearers, Vagina's Children, Thousand Vaginas, Vagina Lords, Vagina Warriors, and Vagina Eaters.

There are times when the pride I have for my state knows no bounds. This is not one of them.
Remember this is State Government, not Federal, so it is a bit different.

I'm most worried about the Vagina Eaters and Vagina Fists chapters. I feel like those are the ones most likely to cause Republicans to have heart attacks and keel over into a dirt nap....
LONG LIVE THE VAGINA EATERS AND VAGINA FISTS CHAPTERS!! MAY THEIR WORK NOT GO UNTHANKED!!
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

But don't let me stop the "ooooh Lausy look how crazy doze Publicans is!" show...
Except that excuse is complete nonsense, and obviously so given the quote in the article from Rep Mike Carlton;
"It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company."
And as I pointed out earlier it's happened before over the word 'uterus'.
But don't let me stop the 'ooh here's a contrived argument that lets me pretend the Republican party doesn't have a significant loonie faction in various state congresses'

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.
It is also entertaining that he would not speak about female reproductive systems with women while trying to pass laws about what women can and cannot do with said reproductive rights. Clearly he must be well informed on what it is women want and expect with regards this whole issue and is not just pushing his own prejudices on people...
So, for what duration of time are the people of her district effectively no longer being represented? If she permabanned, or was it just for the day, or what?
