In the Middle East, one corrupt anti-Democracy dictator has fled and one more is about to.
And in the U.S., Democrats are scrambling to catch up with them, and demostrate that "Yes We Can" too!
This was ridiculous when it started in Wisconsin. Now it has gone beyond that, and entered "Hilarious" status. These losers actually think they can make people believe they are doing the "right" thing!
Democrats' contempt for the intelligence of their constituents has always been clear to those who pay attention to them. Now it's on display for ALL to see.......
The meltdown of the Democrat party is actually taking place, right before our eyes. We live in interesting times.

Democrats trigger Statehouse showdown

[Indiana state] House Democrats are leaving the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation, The Indianapolis Star has learned.
A source said Democrats are headed to Illinois, though it was possible some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana.
The House was came into session this morning, with only two of the 40 Democrats present. Those two were needed to make a motion, and a seconding motion, for any procedural steps Democrats would want to take to ensure Republicans don’t do anything official without quorum.
With only 58 legislators present, there was no quorum present to do business. The House needs 67 of its members to be present.
Rep. Terri Austin, D-Anderson, told House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, that Democrats “continue to be in caucus” to discuss potential amendments to several bills.
Bosma said he was “flummoxed,” adjoured until noon, and labor union members watching in the gallery and hallway outside cheered the work stoppage.
Today’s fight was triggered by Republicans pushing a bill that would bar unions and companies from negotiating a contract that requires non-union members to kick-in fees for representation. It’s become the latest in what is becoming a national fight over Republican attempts to eliminate or limit collective bargaining.
House Minority Leader B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, “has taken a page out of the Wisconsin Senate playbook apparently” by keeping his caucus in hiding, Bosma said. “They are shirking the job that they were hired to do.”
