    They are f-ing paid to do their job in Washington. Re-election circus is a hobby they can chase in their spare time.

      The article failed to mention that Mike Johnson said they’d did a “phenomenal job” in a sarcastic voice while he rolled his eyes and did the quotation marks sign with his fingers.

    Apparently, they think highly of their chances in the midterms. Otherwise, they’d be staying around to do as much as they could before getting kicked out.

      Don’t forget all the damage they can do in November and December, if motivated.

        I mean, there is going to be. The federal government really doesn’t have an enforcement mechanism they can use. However - it is going to be a shitshow with tons of laws broken, mountains of lawsuits and most likely violence.

          Even after the US goes full dictatorship, there will still be “elections” … where the dictator and his cronies just happen to win every time with 95% of the vote, because they’re so popular.

    I’m pretty sure neither house of Congress has done “phenomenal work” for the good of the majority of thepeople since the fucking 70s, much less during the reign of the fascist kakistocracy!

    I mean…. Do we really want them working in order to do even more damage?

    At this point, Congress as a whole seems to be hurting us a lot more than helping us.

    Nice perk of the job to give yourself an extra 2weeks vacation because you think you did well.

    Wish i could do that.
