FOUND! Draft of 2015 GOP House Retreat AgendaLookie what we found! The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has stumbled across an unofficial version of House Republicans’ retreat agenda that began last night.
AGENDA:
Thursday, January 15th
9:00AM-10:-00AM: “How to Build Bridges and Control your Caucus” by Speaker Ted Cruz
10:00AM-11:00AM: “Winning Elections in your Home State” by House Majority Leader McCarthy
11:00AM- 12:00PM: “Winning the Women Vote” by Rep. Trent Franks
12:00PM-1:00PM: Lunch Discussion with Special Guest Michael Grimm, “Ethics in Politics and the Importance of Anger Management”
1:00PM – 2:00PM: “Healthcare Policy Speak 101” by Rep. Renee Elmers
3:00PM-4:00PM “Diplomacy and Foreign Relations” by Rep. Louie Gohmert
4:00PM-5:00PM “Gender Equality in the Workplace” by Rep. Blake Farenthold

11:30PM – 12:00PM: “Deportation for Dummies” by Rep. Steve King
“House Republicans enter their retreat marred by internal dysfunction and plagued by scandal,” said Tyrone Gayle of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “From bending over backwards to appease the extremists in their party to defending Steve Scalise’s troubling affiliations with White Supremacists and anti-Semites to more Wall Street giveaways, it’s clear that no matter where House Republicans go for their retreat, they cannot escape their flawed priorities and agenda.”

Jay Leno, Tony Blair to speak at U.S. Republican retreat
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republicans, two weeks into controlling both houses of Congress, have invited comedian Jay Leno and former Prime Minister Tony Blair to speak at their annual retreat in Hershey, Pennsylvania, party aides said on Tuesday.
The closed-door Republican gathering will be held on Thursday and Friday at Hershey Lodge, near Hersheypark, the chocolate company's family theme park in central Pennsylvania.
Members of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate are having a joint retreat for the first time in 10 years, flush from the November election success that added to the party's number of seats in the House and gave it the majority in the Senate. A new session began last week.
Republicans will be strategising about the coming year in Congress, discussing topics such as immigration and border security, jobs and the economy, healthcare, and the U.S. budget, aides said.

Tell-tale signs that we really need to get our act together or submit to fascism that these f*cks are prepping to ram down our throats and up our wahoos simultaneously. Honestly,

What a gang of miscreants if ever there was such a gang. I hope someone is able to get the best stuff recorded so we can make use of the material on a daily basis so that everyone else can see what that these people really intend to destroy this country for their wealthy overlords. The only thing they have in mind for us is the position of submissive serfs.
Looks like this next two years will have one simple message for both sides... f*ck or get f*cked.
That's funny.
11:00AM- 12:00PM: “Winning the Women Vote” by Rep. Trent Franks
Yeah, HE'LL certainly know...
And this, too:
4:00PM-5:00PM “Gender Equality in the Workplace” by Rep. Blake Farenthold
Yeah, HE'LL certainly know... the Sequel
Is this a joke? "Speaker ted cruz" ? But he'd certainly LOVE it. Imagine - that berserko third in line to the Presidency. Yeah that makes ME feel secure...
Has to be a joke.
But then again, the GOP IS a joke. Just anyway. They don't even have to stage retreats anymore. They don't even have to open their yaps (although that's always a good source of evidence). It's what they think and what they then do. What a bunch of 6th-Century "minds."

Cruz, Scalise & Gohmert (DOHmert), are the trifecta, and they have to arrive
in the same clown car. That would be perfect.
