We Replaced C-SPAN with Periscope and I Can’t Even

The fun part:

"What does a sit-in[1] achieve? News headlines. Even if a vote is prevented procedurally, a sit-in appeals to the court of public opinion and keeps the debate alive. Small wonder then that the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, ordered C-SPAN cameras to be shut off."

So the Speaker of the House shut down the cameras C-SPAN normally uses and a couple of Democratic started broadcasting cell-phone video (badly) and C-SPAN picked up their streams.

I, too, can't even.

At this point, following the dictates of Rule #1[2], I'm voting for Trump in November. Unless someone worse comes along.

[1] "There’s a sit-in right now in the House of Representatives over gun control. Republicans blocked a vote over the “no fly, no buy” bill (preventing terror suspects on the no-fly list from buying guns) and Democrats are up in arms about it."

[2] Rule #1: Do not come between stupid people and the consequences of their stupidity.

This article has a really interesting premise, but doesn't go anywhere with it. It's too bad; I would've loved to read something substantive on the topic (rather than "I can't even").

an uninformative blog-rant over the fact that

"C-SPAN ... replaced their cameras with a shitty, shaky vertical stream filmed by a Congressman" (via a smartphone app)
