The Washington political work week vs the rest of us. Monday noon to Thursday noon?

Is that your work week? No? Ya mean your boss might be annoyed if you decided to go that to that work week?

Apparently politicians, Senators, have a massively short work week, unlike the rest of us. If the republicans decide to hamper President Biden’s work by slowing down the process as much as possible then maybe the new work week should be expanded Saturday to Saturday. They can apply for overtime if they like. The republicans can have Sunday off cause they are Sooooooo godly.

We have several emergencies occurring simultaneously in this nation that need presidential and congressional attention sans political bullshit.

The real reason politicians need this short “work” week is that they spend the rest of their time fund raising for their reelection. Well guess what republicans....NOBODY wants to give you fucking traitors money. They don’t want their good name attached to your exceedingly BAD name.

So I say extend the work week. They can raise money on Sunday.
