I'm torn. The angel on one shoulder wants congress to stop dicking around on Ukraine aid. The devil on the other shoulder wants the New Batch (my nickname for the Freedom Caucus) to drive Johnson out and lose their majority by terrorizing their own party.
I called my Democratic congressman yesterday and encouraged him to push for getting the Ukraine aid bill to the floor, then to vote for aid, not a loan. I also asked that he let the diminutive, insurrectionist Mike Johnson twist in the wind. All Democrats must vote him out, and vote for Hakeem Jeffries as his replacement.
"She thinks empowering unions “trampl[es] the rights” of people who choose not to join. (And they say Republicans don’t care about the least of these!)"
I'll proudly trample the rights of a filthy scab any day of the week. If your shop has a union, pay your fucking dues. Just because federal law says we have to represent sorry ass freeloaders and scabs, doesn't make it right.
Magic Marge was photographed taking her Trapper Keeper of Joe Biden doodles and Hunter dick pics back to the House after the Senate gave her “impeachment” the respect and attention it deserved. That’s called “summary disposition,” and no further time shall be wasted on that horse tinkle.
Mikey collabing w/Dems is going to excite the single-neuron, semi-firing, MAGA Congress crowd beyond just Sporkfoot and her boitoi Massiehole into firing his porn-curious ass sure as shit sits on a shingle.
We really need to set requirements for Congress People and executive offices It's doubtful that most members of Congress could qualify to be mangers of a fast food restaurant location, or associate mangers at Walmart. TFG would have trouble getting a job as counter person or sales associate
Never say the Republicans are done, given the number of unreconstructed states in the USA. Wherever they run wild they oppress and seek to destroy the lives of vulnerable minorities.
People need to understand, as long as there are ladder pullers, sadists and godbotherers there is always going to be a Republican Party or a party like it. And given the demographics that serves, it will always have institutional advantage in the USA.
I used to believe that, but then Americans in certain states in 2016 decided to vote for a conman who was openly promising ethnic cleansing. "Economic anxiety."
I think if the privilege of those who have always had rights in the USA gets even seemingly threatened, they get mobilized. We must too in order to outnumber them.
Just a little clue, Great Britain did not pay off their lend lease debt from WW II until 2006. I expect it will take Ukraine about the same amount of time, especially considering the damage Russia has done to the country. We will likely see some type of Marshall plan for Ukraine after this war is over requiring at least as much in economic and infrastructure assistance as we gave in military aid.
My bet is that American industry and banking put the screws to Johnson when they realized how much profit was in a war. Finally overcoming orders from the boss, Trump. Who may not be around much after November, while banks and the military industry will be. Sort of like how Nazi sympathizer and anti-Semite Henry Ford finally realized how much profit was in building tanks and jeeps destined to be blown up in Europe and the Pacific and decided Hitler wasn't all that great.
Saturday?!? That might mean my coworkers and I can’t drive to work even tho metro is a butt on weekends! And will be more of one THIS weekend for track work!
If they decide to, yeah. Only ONCE in my five years at the Capitol have they, and that was during the shutdown scramble that led to McCarthy's ouster. I cannot see them doing it for "normal" legislation. Especially since the Senate fucks off on Friday and won't be back til late Monday. (yeah. Senators almost NEVER work Fridays)
Obamacare was passed the House in wee hours Monday morning aka Sunday night after a weekend of MAGA death threats and hate, as well as debate and deal-making.
“It’s a clusterfuck,” said one person. “We are screwed,” said another.
YHTSI (you hate to see it).

Some are motivated more by love, some by hate. From what I know of hate, love is a dove and will reign from above.

Germany didn't pay off its WW1 debt until Oct 2010
The attempt to circumvent it didn't work out so well, after all.
Sadly it appears Democrats are gonna hafta bite the bullet and save his wrinkly ass in compromise to get the Ukraine Bill a vote.
We then own him.
You would think.
Can we call her 'Balloon Butt' now?

Does congress even work on Saturday?

You could have skipped the last two words.

Oh wait, that was when the adults were in charge.
Nevermind.
Just think, a mere ten years ago The Nation’s William Greider were referring to them as “ascendant Republicans.”
Saint Lowell George once said:
"It's high time that you found
The same people you mis-used on your way up
You're going to meet them
On your way down!"
