      Just imagine if a normal private sector employee pulled this kind of stuff for companies. It should be a requirement that all members of Congress read the damn bills regardless of side .

      Of course, it’s on par with how the government is run. Only vote for what your party puts in front of you. Pathetic.

      ’sir you voted yes on a bill that will have you put to the guillotine at any moment, what do you have to say?‘

      ‚tldr ; lol‘

      Reading, critical thinking, and actually doing your job….not big strong points with GOP.

      Didn’t there used to be a 72 hour hold to vote on bills that cost money? So that representatives could read it. What happened to that?

      What a lazy line toeing piece of shit. Go shuck off back to Nebraska and learn how to read.

      Wow. I’m in local government and have a lot of paperwork to keep up with. If I told my boss that I put in some work and didn’t read it, I’d be chewed out at the very least. This representative won’t even get a slap on the hand though.

      Very few Republican, if any, did. What’s rare is for one of them to admit it.

      Just gutless..how about “It’s too big to go through quickly, I’m not voting until I understand it” to cop out like this is learned behavior from his great orange overlord.

      The government needs to go the way of the Oscars and enforce a policy of voters actually knowing the material before the vote.

      Sad this needs to be a rule and not just understood.

    11. Canadianweedrules420 on

      This should be an automatic dismissal and trigger an election in his area. You just admitted you didn’t do your job. Fuck these people man bunch of clowns running the asylum

      Trump called it Beautiful, so that alone is enough to inform you it is full of stuff that hurts the poor and benefits the rich

      Mike Johnson must be an expert speed reader.

      >@SpeakerJohnson
      Here’s the bill that Democrats are trying to pass TODAY after not making it public until LATE LAST NIGHT.
       
      Either House Democrats are expert speed readers OR they haven’t read their own legislation yet.
       
      I think we know the answer.

      Anyone else immediately reminded of the episode of South Park where Kyle doesn’t read the TOS for his iTunes?

    15. Comprehensive-Ad4815 on

      For example the conservative subs have been overjoyed with „no tax on tips.“

      But its no tax on CASH tips with a cap. But since they read at a third grade level the wording is actually a foreign language to them.

    16. a_little_hazel_nuts on

      I don’t believe that. It’s not that he doesn’t know what’s in the bill he just doesn’t care what’s in the bill. They want to cut medicaid and SNAP and everyone needs to know people pay taxes out of every paycheck to fund these programs and that money is being taken to give to the rich.

    18. AzerLofi on

      Mike Flood is a fucking embarrassment to his constituents. No wonder his last town hall went so poorly.

    20. JazzHandsNinja42 on

      Nebraska Representative didn’t care enough to read Big Beautiful Bill, before voting along party lines, because MAGA. Nebraskans cannot wait to vote for same representative in the next election.

      Rinse and repeat.

    21. MinimalMojo on

      What exactly are these asshats getting paid for when they can’t even read ONE fucking bill. Ffs they have aides that will read it for them and give them bullet points.

    22. ChickenSandwich662 on

      So he should be fired then. Why are they paid over $170k again? I’m pretty sure Taco Bell employees are more attentive

    26. MadMartegen on

      This is the whole problem with this party… blindly voting yes to appease their master.

    28. bcchuck on

      Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Not knowing whats in a bill should not be an excuse for voting for it.

    29. _MrCrabs_ on

      Should be a requirement before voting on it tbh. Republicans are so far up their own parties a** hole to think. They would blindly sign over all their money and assests if it was proposed by another Republican as some buzzword bill.

    30. walksonfourfeet on

      “This provision was unknown to me when I voted for the bill,”

      Cowardly bullshit passive cop speak

    31. 1000thusername on

      Imagined if we as individuals just signed things blindly without reading them just because someone told us to.

      “Oh, I didn’t notice that I agreed you could take my first born child if I didn’t pay back the loan.”

      “Oh, I didn’t realize you said I was to leave all the furniture behind when selling you my house.”

      “Oh, I didn’t realize I just changed my will to give everything to the next door neighbor and nothing to my kids or grandkids.”

      “Oopsie”

    32. FahrenheitGhost on

      That’s kinda his job. Really though. He doesn’t care. He’s a servant to his party and not his people. „I don’t know“ might save him a few votes when midterms come up. Just in case.

    36. South-Associate9441 on

      He should resign immediately. He should be fired. Could you imagine what would happen to you or I if we were this incompetent in our jobs? I dont give a fuck if this bill is 1000 pages long. You wanted this job NOW DO IT. Americans have become far to complacent on how much we let these elected officials get away with and in turn they’re bringing fascism to the nation. If i were a Nebraskan I would be in this piece of shits office this morning demanding he resign for incompetence.

    37. Crypt1cDOTA on

      The headline should be „claims he did not know“. „Admits“ implies ignorance. This representative is LYING.

    41. goldfish_11 on

      You know how the Oscars instituted the policy that you have to watch all movies in a category before you can cast your vote?

      Why is the Oscars more strict than the fucking government?

    42. darw1nf1sh on

      Democrats did the same thing with the Affordable Care Act. The difference is, that bill was written by an MIT PHD professor of economics, and it wasnt‘ written for political reasons. It didn’t attempt to break the constitution. It was very complex and huge. This bill isn’t that.

    43. babbittisadeadbitch on

      Get absolutely fucked. Regular people know what’s in it. This guy is just trying to cover his own ass.

    46. Frankentula on

      What’s the point of spending taxes on electing and salarying someone to perform a task that could be accomplished by a pigeon that can peck a yes/no button
