Watch Lok Sabha right now!!
Speaker is passing Ministry budgets one after the other while other members are going crazy!

ZERO discussion on the Budget. ZERO!
#sansadwatch
Demands for grants PASSED!
ALL Ministries!
In under 13 minutes!
WITHOUT DISCUSSION!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
Now she's passing the Appropriation Bill. Finance Minister just moved an amendment and I don't have any clue what that is.

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?
#SansadWatch
Appropriation Bill passed with amendments while MPs are screaming "NOOOO NOOO NOOO!"

Speaker be like, "The ayes have it."
The Government has been given permission to withdraw from the Consolidated Fund of India... by the Parliament?
THIS IS THE PARLIAMENT?!
She's passing the FINANCE BILL!!!

This bill has a provision to legalize shady political donations from 1976 onwards!
WHAT THE HELL!

THIS IS INSANE!
Minister has moved a few amendments here as well!
Last year, they did exactly this and made Aadhaar Compulsory for Banking THROUGH a shadily amended Finance Bill!

What are the amendments this year?! What is happening even!
#SansadWatch
People, this is the Parliament now. THIS.

MPs screaming their heads off. Speaker rattling away and passing bills one after the other. Not just bills, but the country's BUDGET is being passed while we can't hear or make out shit.

Go watch the death of our democracy.
#SansadWatch
This is so fucked up.
Like SO fucked up.

Good lord. Someone stop this! PLEASE SOMEONE STOP THIS!

A precedence is being set here. They will do it next year too, then the next, then the next. So disturbing!
Watch the Legislative Pillar of our democracy finally crumble.
Live.
#SansadWatch
This mass of faces is watching on. Just... sitting there and watching.

Wow.
Finance Bill being passed. Speaker continues to rattle off clauses and passing them.

THIS is minutes away from becoming a reality.
Zero people discussed it.
Zero MPs cared about it.

#SansadWatch
Now someone is screaming, "LOK TANTRA KI HATYA BAND KARO!"

THEN STOP SCREAMING DAMMIT AND STOP THIS SHIT!
The BJP Government is murdering democracy on Live TV.
The Opposition MPs are just screaming away telling them to stop.

This seems extremely engineered for some reason.
#SansadWatch
The ayes have it the ayes have it.
Finance Bill passed with 21 new amendments.

Just... can't even right now.
#SansadWatch
Supplementary Demands for Grants being passed right now.

WHAT THE HECK!?
#SansadWatch
Jaitley is now introducing a new Appropriation bill.

He moved that it should be passed. It is being 'considered'.
#SansadWatch
Lok Sabha Adjourned till tomorrow.

The country's whole budget and the Finance Bill 2018 was passed without discussion in 30 minutes.
#SansadWatch
This is absolutely scary. SCARY AF!

It's like the current Government is blantantly saying: "Why have a Parliament at all anymore? You elected idiots aren't important. AT ALL. Only the Government matters."
Here's a sample of the kind of douchebaggery that went down in Lok Sabha today.

(Warning: LOUD)

ALERT!
Supplementary List of Business in Lok Sabha is out.

Two bills listed for introduction, including the Constitutional Amendment Bill for 10% Quota. What's more, it is also listed for consideration and passing TODAY!
#SansadWatch
They seem to be in the mood to bulldoze this bill through. It's a super important Constitutional Amendment, mind you.

No time will be given to MPs for filing amendments. The Bill was circulated TODAY! Parliamentary practice is being thrown out the window.
#SansadWatch
In his interview to @smitaprakash, PM Modi had said that there should be deep discussions in Parliament on every aspect. But when his Government introduces and pushes through bills at such short notice, what they heck is he even talking about?

Whattay farce.

Lok Sabha resumes with hearty Happy New Year cheers.

Slowly and steadily they get replaced by random JUSTICE JUSTICE chants.
#SansadWatch
Can't quite figure out which party is screaming in Lok Sabha. INC MPs are asking supplementary questions & you can see their MPs sitting quietly in the background.
House adjourned to meet at 12 pm.

Aadhaar Amendment Bill to be introduced in Lok Sabha today. This will probably be cleared and certified as a money bill.

Because, you know, who gives a damn.
#SansadWatch
Reports indicate this Bill circumvents the SC Judgment. It will again allow private companies to use and exploit Aadhaar.
#SansadWatch

Thread. 👇
This bill has not been introduced yet. A draft should be available to the public but... well, it isn't. After introduction today, sufficient time needs to be given to MPs for filing amendments.

If it is bulldozed through shamelessly, it's fraud.
Pure and simple.

One thing this Kavanaugh stuff is doing is giving us a light preview for what nomination hearings are going to look like in about 15 years if nothing changes.
We're digging through yearbooks and high schools friends. But that still takes work. In about 15 years, the press is going to be easily able to access 3-4 generations of social media history for every nominee.
Every living grandparent, parent, aunt, uncle, sibling, and child of the nominee. All their social media dragged through the public space. That weird uncle that shares 9/11 memes? Interview. Your kid likes Jordan Peterson - disavow.

Have been saying 2019 is all about caste & social alliances and BJP knows this really knowing that Vikas alone & even Hindutva wont add up to wave of 2014 & it needs to blunt the opposition unity & social demographics which has the potential to reduce's BJP's majority in 2019.
Thus BJP knowing this well, crafted a master plan to shore up its numbers. The master plan is #Mandal2 ! It has two components 1) NCBC as Constitutional Body & 2) Commission on Subcategorization of OBCs in states & UTs. So let us see how this works.
NCBC has now be given Constitutional Body status unlike earlier when it was only a Statutory Body under NCBC Act of 1993. NCBC 123rd Const Amendment Bill was passed by Lok Sabha on 02nd August 2018 having been already passed by Rajya Sabha. The bill now go to President's Desk

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.

I just saw a Trumplander say that signing the spending bill is the lowest moment of Trump's presidency. It's technically true because he's plummeting off a cliff. Every moment of it is the lowest moment so far.
There's an interesting thing you can observe if you're watching Trumplandia at the moment that he does something disappointing to them, when he backs off, back down, caves, or changes his mind on something they had been trumpeting.
That is, if you're looking very closely and very carefully, you can see the disappointment. You can watch the natural reaction in the wild, in realtime. Before the ~*thought leaders*~ and the botnets spin up, before the cognitive dissonance comes online.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
