Sorry. There's nothing we can do. We are going on vacation. See you in September.

The country is under a dire threat from within and the House and Senate say there is nothing they can do.

What do they think we sent them to Washington to do?? We thought they would protect our country, at the very least. But, it appears that was asking too much.

Now, they are saying, "you are on your own".

It will be up to the people to protect themselves in the next election. If they were depending on the House and Senate to protect them, them have been terribly misguided.

Have a nice vacation!

In the meantime, good luck!

1. They need time to

find ways to protect their money. Their ill gotten gains are at risk. It is a joke to call these people "representatives" when they only represent themselves and anyone with lots of money to donate to them. Amazing how they all end up as millionaires, isn't it? Calling their breaks "recess" is so very appropriate.

2. And despite Turtle's threats

it looks like (at least as of today) that the Senate will be off COB August 3rd and the rest of the month (PDF pg. 3).

3. Look at it this way...

If they are out trying to smell good at home, they will not be trying to pass poison legislation, giving us a little breathing room to only have to juggle the WH madness while gathering our strength in numbers to oust their miserable asses.

4. Trump needs an in session Congress to foist a good part of the worst he has in mind, so in some ...

ways if they will not do the peoples work, its better they're out junketing or at the gun range.

5. Repubic leadership

is calling the shots on congressional actions .

6. Plus we can protest them on their home turf

and make their lives miserable every time they step out their door, go to a restaurant, etc. After all they've done for us it's the least we can do.

7. Anyone know what is going to happen about that

Porter person who turned his back on all the sexual assaults on kids at the college where he was an official.

He appears to be another wannabe member of the gestapo, along with Mark Meadows of North Carolina, I am sure they both
must feel bad at not being here to serve under the Hitler regime.

8. My apology

In my last comment, I spoke about someone named Porter, I should have said Jim Jordan, please excuse my error.

9. You do realize

that Republicans are doing nothing to stop Russian cyber attacks is because the Russians help Republicans, right?
