Lawmakers Have a Dance Party When Climate Activists Disrupted Congressional Women’s Softball Game,
You do not win points from anyone when you disrupt a charity event. The annual softball game raises money for a group supporting young adults with breast cancer.
The new Climate Defiance activist group disrupted the Congressional Women’s Softball Game. They wore white shirts that said End Fossil Fuels as they chanted like good little lemmings while in a circle.
The U.S. Capitol Police led them off the field.
How did the lawmakers respond? A dance party.
UPDATE: We HALTED the Congressional Women's Softball Game, demanding they stop torching our planet.
People are dying, we said.
How did the Members of Congress respond?
Temporarily unable to play, they tried to drown out our pleas with a dance party. No words. pic.twitter.com/qGWYFVCqln

What on earth?
We were told we should stop occupying the Congressional Women’s Softball Game because it is powered by a generator.
Our government is giving fossil fuel companies $20,000,000,000 per year in subsidies and actively approving new pipelines. pic.twitter.com/jiYzzNKaQ5

Crying.
The softball game raises money for the Young Survival Coalition, which supports young adults with breast cancer. Women lawmakers play against members of the media.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-FL) started the game in 2009 after she announced her breast cancer diagnosis.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), also a breast cancer survivor, noted that climate activists didn’t disrupt the men’s baseball game:
Commentary from the trio of game announcers was dry but pointed. “I do note that the men’s baseball game was allowed to go forward,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar said into the mic, referring to the annual Congressional Baseball Game held at Nationals Park. The Minnesota Democrat is another breast cancer survivor.
[CNN’s Dana] Bash picked up the thread. “It’s interesting that the women’s game for charity is being interrupted in a very prolonged way but the men’s was not. Huh, what do you think that means, Garrett [Hawke, an NBC Correspondent]?”
“I’m not sure I’m the person most qualified to answer that question. But I will say, having covered Congress for some time now, these delays, sometimes on totally unrelated policy issues, can often be very frustrating,” he replied.
Since 2009, the game has raised $3.7 million. This year’s game raised $588,000.

So, cash in pocket, the congresscriters decide not to do they right thing – have the protestors removed and not to give the public what they paid for.
Says it all really.
Not surprising that softball was the game chosen. Everything congress does is underhanded.
How can you not lol at people dressed in oil who used oil to get there and have no idea oil is what powers their insane lifestyle? Useful idiots just doesn’t seem strong enough.
Did they make it clear to these people that the generators were powered by soup?
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), also a breast cancer survivor, noted that climate activists didn’t disrupt the men’s baseball game:
The dems sent one of their shock troops there to disrupt the GOP’s practice for that by shooting a few of them.
‘I do note that the men’s baseball game was allowed to go forward.’

Ok lets start with the linguistic choice of ‘allowed to go forward’ which grants the presumption that climate activists possess a legitimate veto power over what public events may take place. How ’bout NO.
Then let’s move to the most favorite feminist past time of all; taking whatever is going on with them and either
1. blaming men for it
2. complaining that men don’t face the same issues and it just isn’t fair
Feminists want to be perceived as strong, independent, brave and so on as they endlessly claim, usually right after telling us they don’t need a man or some equivalent of ‘men are trash’. Yet when faced with challenges in life they seem quick to complain about men, who had jack squat to do with this (it was a climate change protest not a mens rights protest) instead of directly confronting the issue and working to resolve it. Modern women (aka feminists) are far different than traditional women in both worldview and action.
To quote Carly Simon, “I feel the earth move under my feet”. Looked like there was a lot of heft out there shaking the planet. Thought it was an earthquake at first until I read the dance party story.
Anyway, I say we enact a new law for these climate protesters.
1. All their worldly possessions are forfeited in equal parts to the 50 states highway commissions for road improvement projects.
2. Protesters are taken to a huge swamp where they’re required to live out the rest of their lives naked. No more air conditioning, no motor vehicles to transport them to protests. Let them eat bugs and build huts however they can. (alligators gotta eat too)
This is nothing, I heard that some similar protestors superglued themselves to an airport runway in Germany. No one was having a dance party there, however.
They took “all hands on deck” literally.
What’s men got to do with it? Almost all the protestors were female.
