I'm surprised we haven't seen a wave of resignations from elected Congresspeople

[TomDaisy]

I mean, they expect to go to DC to legislate in an office environment, not to be fucking NAVY SEAL COMMANDOS fending off a goddamn terrorist attack launched by the fucking president.

Running for their lives. Barricading their offices. Arming themselves with pens and sticks. Texting their families goodbye.

Threatened with kidnapping, rape, murder.

I mean holy fuck.

I commend their bravery and thank God they have risen to these horrible circumstances. We need them.

But we can't ignore how this is going to have the effect of making sure a lot of people who would be great in Congress never run for office.

1. It is a pretty good pay day

with more to follow (probably much more). If you are really smart, you can even trade on your inside information and nothing happens to you.

2. Why? Unlimited vacay, sick pay, good salary, benefits. Goddamn leeches.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. These POS's are huddling

with their Corporate Sponsors and planning how to resign before Sedition Paper work hits their Desks.

[Hugin]

4. It will happen after an Impeachment vote.

Just watch.

5. I thought you meant those who are complicit with this treasonous riot...

To which I would have replied; they have no shame.
