Greg Brophy Demands More Subsidies for Greg Brophy

It appears former state Sen. Greg Brophy is settling into his new life in D.C. as the Chief of Staff for Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley). He’s even taken to using Washington’s local bike share program, which allows him to get to Union Station and complain about things.

We know this because Brophy tweeted about it this week, snorting that he was using the “commie bike share program.” He also suggested he should be paid for not parking his bicycle somewhere besides Union Station, which he said always has plenty of empty spots on the bike rack.

The commie share bike guys should pay me. I drop off at empty Union Station for them. Cc @KnoedlerMatt

So, what you’re saying is that you deserve — we’ll call it a “subsidy” — for your commie bike riding?

We’re talking about the same Greg Brophy who has received $113,000 in corn and wheat subsidies since 1999 from ~~commies~~ taxpayers. Perhaps he can start a fundraising campaign to help him pay for his bike share membership.

He's trying to be funny, but as they say, if you have to explain a joke it's not funny.

I'll explain anyway…all bike share programs end up with too many bikes at some places and not enough at others. So periodically, somebody goes out with a truck and moves bikes around. Since Brophy is going from high to low bike density, he's saving somebody from having to move a bike – so he ought to be paid! Get it?! hahahahahahahaha. What a card!

  But he expects someone else to pay for the health care costs associated with the (subsidized) high fructose corn syrup that comes from his crop…

      Perhaps it's a slow news day because we've gone a full 24 hours without another mass shooting? Fall is near…the watermelons are nervous.
