1. I am suspicious that Joni Ernst doesn't know how to read.

Seriously. She is that dumb.

3. Goodness!

Why, if I didn't know better, I might be inclined to think that these stalwart public servants are actively trying to avoid bad news. Is that really their notion of public service? Isn't it part of their job to confront and grapple with unpleasant developments? Do they feel no obligation to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution?

4. Wonder if they held town hall meetings while on recess in August.

Mcsalley in AZ didn't..she said she doesn't have to..she can just go out walking around talking to people...this is why Mark Kelly is doing so well and the GOP is putting so much $$$$ into this race..we said NO to her when we voted in Sinema.and then Gov. Ducey appointed her to Mccains seat....that Kyl was keeping warm.....

They just can't take the heat..

5. Holy cow, they are PROUD to be ignorant!! Also, please throw these two losers on the pile, cat:

Leaving Capitol ahead of 2 week recess, Thune tells
reporters that he hasn’t read the whistleblower complaint
yet but that he’ll try to.

Romney also said he hasn’t read report yet.

Will you put out a statement when you do?

“It depends,” he said as he left the last vote ahead of a 2 week recess
