Politics Congress - the body you love to hate

Nancy Pelosi Has Trump Right Where She Wants Him

I understand the idea of letting your enemies fail due to their own weaknesses.
But will this work???

I guess it's all she has...The Dems are now in a middle of a lovers spat with the new Brazile/Clinton reveal...although, others are saying this is typical and old-hat. (besides...you take the money, you sign the paper...)
And they really don't have any inspiring message or a unified base (lots of wanderers are in the Dems corner, don't do lock-step well)

There you go...
If you don't have the stuff...wait for the players to fuck up and fumble.
Any given Sunday.

 

About fuckin' time...
Congress finally discussing the limits the prez may have launching...after 40 YEARS!!
What Prevents Trump From Launching a Nuclear War On His Own? Less Than You Might Think.

I can negotiate anything...but I cannot outrun fuckin' energy!!

 

Revoke the War Powers Act...go back to straight Constitution for now. Besides, it would put some responsibility onto Congress for a change.
But that's why the WP was done, because Congress is often NOT responsible and too slow. Things move fast in war and reality.

 

Pressure mounts to unmask Hill harassers

So there a whole office dedicated to paying out harassment claims for Congress members???
And they don't have to reveal for who...

Your tax dollars at work

 

With Billions at Stake in Tax Debate, Lobbyists Played Hardball

And this is how corruption happens...
Not outright bribes...but "influence".
A tweak here, a push there.

The "old-boy" network at work and in full force...but it's not just boys...it's EVERYONE.
And then with the revolving doors...the Congress people get their perks after they leave with cush jobs...or other ways.

It's not about what's right for the Nation and its citizens.
It's about what benefits those who can afford to prime the pump. Grease the rails. Pull the choke...etc and so on.
The corporations, the PACs, the bigwigs and so on.

And this is how Rome fell...

And we're no better or worse than all the other "corrupt" nations on Earth.
Just another day in the swamp.
With new players, just poling around the same swamp.

I'm not naive.
I don't care if they "get theirs". I'm not a purest.
I just care if they're doing it right or better for the NATION and the CITIZENS.

 

How Trump Is Driving Democrats and Republicans Together

Only on foreign policy though...
The remainder GOP seems to be catering to Trump and vice versa.

 

And now, even more reason to hate them, Government Shutdown
Government Shutdown: Who's affected?

Thank god, I'm not a govt contractor any more.

 

Sen. John McCain On Nunes Memo Release: 'We Are Doing Putin's Job For Him'

Exactly.
Some who call themselves conservative are helping an enemy state.
You love your nation...defend it.
Literally defend it...not just rhetorically.

Because we still equate age to wisdom
But once you get over 40
Do you really get wiser??
Most I find are the same ideas, good & bad

They really need more term limits

 

Meanwhile...
Congress is almost getting into fist fights

House members Harris, Allred nearly come to blows during Pennsylvania certification debate: reports — Fox News

There’s going to be some interesting things going on in the next day or so until the weekend
And even more so after the weekend where leaders can plan

Congress is in session and can do things
Actions, laws, etc
Even if they they’re still waiting on the inauguration

The House is set, Pelosi already voted Speaker again

I don’t know how fast they’ll change the Senate,
Doubtful anytime soon, there still needs to be a sitting of the new GA Senators after any dispute put up.
McConnell will still block anything he doesn’t like.
He’s subdued but not changed.

The Dems are finally angry
The GOP are shocked but still are the same group with issues as before. (Need to go to rehab, IMHO)
So who knows how a debate may pan out or any action taken.

We’re in unprecedented days. (Pun intended)

 

We’re storming the capital...it’s a revolution.

She’s lucky she only got maced
But thank you very much for all your personal info on this video

Step over here for all your prizes...

Delivery by the FBI
Bonus: your boss and company wants to speak with you
And even more!!!

“Stupid is as stupid does”

Actually, the Congressmembers are very lucky they were stupid, incompetent and disorganized
It could have been MUCH worse.

Not that a few of them would care and actually would cheer them on.

 

It's a revolution!!!

 

Sure, let’s wait 3 days
He can’t hurt anything over the weekend.
Why fuck didn’t they do it today???
Insane doesn’t have a schedule.

House democrats plan to introduce articles of impeachment on Monday. It's like the good times of 2020 never left us

IF you think he’s “unhinged” get him the fuck out.

Speaker Pelosi called military chief about 'unhinged' Trump's access to nuclear launch codes — NBC News

I tell ya, the logic of these politicians are idiocy
Even the ones you may agree with.

If there’s fire...you do NOT wait for a vote.
ACT

Even if some politicians are here, there are provisions to vote without them.
Unless enough of those voting FOR are away

But WTF would they go away
A friggin National emergency just happened

Just unreal

Give the maniac 3 more days to do more damage and destroy any evidence (this or previous deeds)

Unless you’re waiting for him to resign
But he’s NOT going to do this.
Nothing in his past or personality would make him quit.
The man will be dragged out kickin and screaming

Congress at it again
Not supporting the citizens
Not supporting those who they “SAY” they support

I do wish the voters would kick these “leaders” out.
They’re not leaders.
They’re certainly NOT representatives.

They’re proxies, for the corrupt.

I do wish Stewart would run
But he wouldn’t be able to tolerate the BS inside
Or do the tap dance to satisfy the masses.

This is why we can’t have nice things
