Mmm, Congress pussy.

Fucking finally. Knew I woke up early for something.

CLERK TIME.

SHE'S THERE.

And still looks tired.

The clerk is looking tight as fuck again today.

Issa be straight pimpin' yo. I would annihilate that congressional ass.

Will this still be on at 22:30 GMT? I get back from work then...

Wait, so advertisers are immunity to the so-called 'copyright infringement?' That's bullshit.

>>758078
that's just so even the stupidest people realize that those for the bill are corrupt

Issa is such a straight-talkin' man, I'd totally suck his dick

ITT ridiculing the end of the internet
Anonymous to the very end.

>>758086
So we won't be able to post pictures of amateur JB, but advertisers will be able to take what ever they want, paste 'We want your cock' on it, and call it a day?

Fuck, why did I change careers?

>Al Gore is conspicuous in his absence

Hah. Cute.

>Al Gore
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>758094
Yeah. Our little projects are going down the goddamn tubes.

Al Gore?I knew we had people inside.

>these proposals are even worse than the ones from a year ago
>harm the credibility of the United States as a steward of key internet infrastructure
>will fragment the internet

Issa knows what the fuck he's talking about.

Issa is going in balls deep this early in the morning? He must have gotten a hell of a recharge from his aide last night.

Four different times.

Mr Issa is kickan ass as usual. This is a fucking farse though, painful to watch.

>>758123
All of this passion being thrown into these amendments and you just KNOW the Chairman is going to strike it down.

U DED
U DONE

>>758131
Yep. After every amendment, he's like
>Yeah that sure was was nice and all. Let's get to voting no already.

MR POE IS STILL WITH US,HE WILL POUR IN CONFIDENCE

>>758138
>Will the gentleman yield? Let's take it to a vot--
>CAN I HAVE THE VOTE RECORDED?
>Fuck you.

You know he wants to say that.

We gonna have more toothpaste pirating today?

>>758140
Mr. Poe looks absolutely charming this morning.

Can someone explain the purpose of the chairman to a yuropoor?

Shouldn't he be neutral? It seems like he's just as in favor of the bill as all the other idiots.

In the UK the chairman (known as the speaker) is completely neutral.

It's fucking stupid to have a chairman who makes jokes with his buddies who share the same opinion as him etc.

Move away from the mic, Mr. Burns. God damn.

>PFFFFFFPFPFPFHHHPHFFPF

Don't worry guys, nothings gonna happen to the internet.
> I can see the future.

>Dat microphone queef
>Hhhhhnnnnngggg

>>758144
Definitely. He already tried to have a few non-recorded.

You just know he thought this was going to be an insta-nope fest and is burning with hatred over all the attempts at being reasonable. His corrupt spaghetti is falling out of his pockets.

Where is the congress bitch?

"I normally support private rights of action, but here...well, I was given all this money, so fuck you."

Black bitches don't know how microphones work.

>Maxine Waters
>knowing how to use a microphone

Pick one.

Holy fuck Waters, learn how to use a fucking microphone.
Fucking troglodyte

>>758175
Yeah, this is what i was thinking too. This website is bringing out my racist tendecies.

What would happen if Mr Poe and Ms Waters mated?

>>758147
What about the toasters? Will someone think of the toasters?

No toasting
No peace

I keep getting muted. We had a field day with this shit yesterday. The robot must be angry.

>Maxine Waters gets on the mic again
>can't fucking into distance

You fucking bitch. My EARS.

>>758184
Weird hybrids of humans and monkeys.

THE NO'S HAVE IT.

Where's the bingo? WE NEED THE BINGO.

>Clerk

Look at her top. You just know her tits are begging to be free.

All those nos.

Fuck this. I've got to go to work. The US needs to be bombed.

Tell me someone capped dat smile.

God damn Mr. Smith.

>nooooon
>nooooon

>suddenly recess

You motherfucking son of a bitch. That's like two hours from now. I woke up this early for nothing?

Yup,that's congress for you.

Mr. Issa
>His net worth has been estimated at more than $300 million, making him the richest member of Congress.

Damn, i think i might be gay for Issa. He's just so smooth. He could be my sugardaddy anyday.

>>758202
so no is bad for us?

>Can't into legislation

>>758182
As long as it's subtle and not poured on in real life, I don't believe anyone cares.

oh my gosh thank you based god. i have a paper due today and i so wasn't going to finish it if this was on all day

>>758210
It's just one big fucking high school. With forced etiquette and that Chairman that doesn't like you.

>>758214
If we get an amendment passed, the bill has to be reevaluated, which gives us more time to get it shot down.
The fat cats want this pushed through as fast as possible, so when people vote 'no' it's basically saying, 'Fuck what you want, we need this shit passed, now.'

We want 'aye's

>>758220
I yield to this gentlemen, as he has the right analogy.

WHERE IS SANCHEZ?

Issa and Lolgren got all the time. While appreciated, it just wasn't enough. 20 goddamn no's.

Sanchez can turn it around.

Oh, wait, recess 20 minutes into it.

>>758229
And I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would also like to yield to the anon of /r9k/ for additional 30 seconds.

>>758234
Sanchez and Chaffetz are just playing it cool for now.

Issa and Lofgren got this.

What happens if someone just goes,

"NO I WILL NOT YIELD."

>>758226
you do realize that no one in that room wants the bill completely shot down, right? they just want to make it a little more humane, fair, constitutional. little things.

>>758234
Yesterday he handed out the lyrics to "the internet is for porn" and talked about Tor and .onion. What wonders will he bring today?

>>758239
Chaffetz is on our side? Oh, great. That's a team of four.

Can the 4-man power trip defeat the Cabinet?

This is turning into regular court-room drama.

>>758242
That can happen. It's always an idiot like Watts or Waters who's doing it though. Issa always yields because he's a classy fucker.

>>758239
Based Polis is getting supercharged. It's why we haven't seen Ms. Aide yet, either.
He'll be coming in with such a flaccid dick, congress will shudder

>>758242
You should have seen the black chick yesterday. Her un-yielding went on for like 15 goddamn minutes.

The real drama is when no one allows Issa to reclaim his time and his aide isn't there to relieve his build up.

Of semen.

>>758242
Nothing terrible. Yielding is like saying, 'Yes, you can talk for a little bit.' or 'I want to give them more time to speak.'
If you say no to yielding, it's like, 'I am not finished talking.' or 'Fuck you, you will not open your mouth.'

>>758254
Oh god that black bitch yesterday. She needs to be put down. Surely there is some kind of penalty for wasting time like that?

Can we do this every time a major bill is discussed? I have not laughed this hard in a long time.

>>758266
Not in our congress, no

>>758247
>implying 4 people can't stem the tide of evil

>>758266
She doesn't appear to be there today. What with her funky hair-net and aggressive mic-breathing.

Remember when they recessed so they could get on her ass in private? And then she STILL wouldn't shut the fuck up about that tweet?

>>758269
Stay classy America.

But seriously she was a fucking hoodrat. No idea why she's there.

>>758281
To represent. What she's representing, I have no idea.

>>758264
> 'Fuck you, you will not open your mouth.'

That's the vibe I got. Arguments get super heated really quickly.

It's like watching /v/. But with dinosaurs who don't curse.

>Drinking my whisky and rhye

This will be the day that I die! Let's enjoy it Anons.

>>758286
She's a product of her culture. She was representing the common negro.

Not black people.

But niggers. Waters used to be for us, too, but she changed over the years. All in all? Black congress members fear progression.

>>758270
I'm sorry to have doubt in my heart, Captain Planet.

I'm just afraid I will lose you all.

>>758268
This is the first one I've been genuinely interested as it has a lot to do with the way I live my life. If I can't pirate, I'll have to become a productive member of society. That's a big god damn step.

>>758151
>In the UK the chairman (known as the speaker) is completely neutral.

from one britfag to another, youre fucking retarded if you believe that, the speaker is legally required to have a representive of the city of london corporation next to him while in the house, to allow them to run rings around any legislation that would work against them even if the politicians genuinely wanted to go against them.

>>758268
I would love that. I have never been this political, and would love to learn the names of all our representatives.

So, /r9k/, know that in every bill general we have, I will be there, supporting it with shitty jokes and poor caps. Unless the internet is taken down

>>758269
As a eurofag, can the common man walk into congress and express his beliefs? From what I've seen, Issa seems to have that locked down but shouldn't there be tech experts there?

Since there's a recess for like the next two goddamn hours there's nothing we can do here.

Five different types of pizzas must have arrived.

I yield to the gentlemen of /r9k/.

>>758313
They were discussing having tech experts present yesterday.

In one hilarious incident, Chaffetz responded to Watts (an idiot in favor of the bill and against all the amendments, read: corrupt) by citing quotations from numerous experts on the subject.

Watts then responded with "I don't believe that.", speaking with respect to the opinions of fucking certified experts on the subject.

He then said about 20 minutes later that it was of the utmost importance that they make informed decisions. Oh the ironing.

>>758330
"We will yield until 1o'clock which I will explain later..."
"Pizza's here, who is tipping?"

Wait,i'm not a political man,but this writ is basically supposed to give them power to shut down illegal copyright-infringing sites,right?
But think of The Pirate Bay,though not an american site,it's been legally harassing copyright for years,giving the law every possible excuse to shut them down.THEY ARE STILL STANDING.
What the hell am i to draw from this?

OP's pic is awesome, it sums everything up.
(except for the clerk)

>>758334
"experts" = "people who can argue for me, using jargon"
no
"people who know what they're talking about"
Especially if those people know you're full of shit.

>>758361
I dunno
I think it needs this

>>758364
I don't know why you're getting pissy about the wording. You won't here anyone, for or against, using anything but the word 'nerds' in this case.

>>758348
Not shut the sites down but block them from americans. Censorship of the internet not destruction (although its just about the same thing for chan users)

What's the difference between this and Chinese/Australian censorship (did the Australian censorship thing pass through?)

>>758406
Well, America has always 'fought' internet censorship. Also, because America is better.

>>758348
The same thing you are to draw from all the DRM bullshit: people know nothing about piracy and think the smart response is to punish paying customers.

Who does DRM affect? Paying customers. Who see anti-piracy ads? Paying customers.
Who don't get potentially invasive software and do not have to play around with failure-prone online activation? Pirates.

Pirates will suffer the least from SOPA.

>>758427
>Pirates will suffer the least from SOPA
All I ever wanted to hear,bro.

>>758456
what, you didn't know you could just type in the ip, or point to a foreign dns ? or that all the darknet wouldn't be affected, and all the sites that aren't well known would be most unaffected?
we aren't getting mad because SOPA will stop us, we're getting mad because they have the audactiy,stupidity and vile corrupt self to attempt to.

Maybe SOPA will make 4Chan better because all the underage mainstream faggots won't be able to figure out how to get past the firewall?

>>758471
I'm mad because they are in effect accusing EVERYONE of criminal behavior and preserving an approach to piracy which was ineffective TEN YEARS AGO - and obviously so to anyone who knows even the basics of this shit!

Whether or not you can get around it it'll still be a BIG inconvenience. Everything will be much much slower and awkward to use.

>>758156
Are you Raven?

>>758512
Unfortunately, this would not be the case at all. If 4chan were affected by this bill's passing in the most extreme case, it would be taken down rather than obscured from American view, as it is based IN the United States, and is thus within its jurisdiction and its webmaster subject to prosecution. See (3) in particular.

>(a) Definition- For purposes of this section, a foreign Internet site or portion thereof is a 'foreign infringing site' if--
(1) the Internet site or portion thereof is a U.S.-directed site and is being used by users in the United States;

(2) the owner or operator of such Internet site is committing or racilitation the commission of criminal violations punishable under section 2318, 2319, 2319A, 2319B, or 2320, or chapter 90 of title 18, United States Code; and

(3) the Internet site would, by reason of acts described in paragraph (1), be subject to seizure in the United States in an action brought by the Attorney General if such site were a domestic Internet site.

>>758713
Well, that green text served little purpose, but you see the general idea.

OH SHIT ITS BACK

fdjakl;fjdaskl;fads

They're starting up again, brobots.

It's the end of the internet and I'm having a party! Let's remember this for a long time to come.

Mr. Poe is a bro. Also, there's a guy behind him called "Good Latte".

How can these guys not hear that huge list including FB, Mozilla, Twitter, Flickr, etc and not think "Hey, maybe these massively successful and job-creating businesses know slightly more than I do about the internet?"

>>759227
Twitter, Flickr, etc are not massively successful at all. Facebook is in a bubble.

What the fuck is happening. Is this a fucking blackout?

Heres some rage fuel from chairman smith

http://judiciary.house.gov/news/12142011%20SOPA.html

>>758151
In an image posted in yesterday's thread, it shows the chairman has received around $80,000 in campaign contributions from the entertainment industry.

He should be neutral, but he obviously has reasons not to be.

>>759588
Meetings adjourned.

>>759798
Indeed but it's stills trange, last time it was adjourned we still had the video player saying "Adjourned"
