For all intents and purposes, we have no Congress.

[kentuck]

Although they are not in session, even if they were, they would not be representing the people that sent them to Washington. They are there to support one man only. They will only do what he wants them to do. And they will do nothing that he does not approve first.

But, somebody has to tell him "No!" You are not going to build a ballroom as you planned. You tore down an historic part of our history and that cannot ever be forgiven. You will not be rewarded with a ballroom with your name on it.

Somebody has to say it.

1. You are absolutely correct, but I do not see this happening anytime soon.

2. Barebones Congress

Oliver Cromwell would be proud indeed!

[Mme. Defarge]

3. Now it's just

the man who would be king.

4. I am afraid the hallowed East Room will becone a tacky antechamber for the monstrosity.

5. Krasnov got what he wanted from them

His Big Ugly Death Bill.

Chuck Schumer made a huge mistake back in March voting for the CR.

Democrats could have held out until our social safety net was protected, now, they can only hold out for reimbursements for Obamacare.

The gutting of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, the VA is now a law, good luck undoing a law.

6. Agree

At some point we’re going to have to start wondering if both Republicans AND the Democrats in Congress all have the same agenda unless they do something to prove differently soon.

[Attilatheblond]

16. We ARE seeing a lot of DEMs on the Hill, and in governors' offices around the nation fighting back finally

I will give them credit for finally hearing us and acting in ways to get truth out and to stand against the GOP cowards.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. In a capitalist economy

Money is always king.

FDR kept that sloppy economic system patch together with string and baling twine. But we allowed those weak supports to be removed thanks to Reagan and the bushes. Even Clinton signed the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act. So everyone was on board dismantling the supports placed on our economy after the Republican Great Depression.

So then we got vulture capitalism which led to end stage capitalism, which led to an oligarchy that gave us a King.

Capitalism and democracy are not compatible.

7. It will take decades...

to recover from this fiasco. If indeed, recovery is even possible...

[dalton99a]

8. The tyrant has effectively disbanded the legislative branch.

10. We are paying the GOP members of congress to watch porn, do drugs, and molest children.

They sure as hell are not providing any oversight or leadership.

[gab13by13]

11. Paying them to protect

Pedophiles, protect maybe the largest sex trafficking organization ever. Protected by people who quote scripture.

[Irish_Dem]

12. They are protecting themselves.

[Moostache]

13. They'll never finish the East Room in time for his hanging to be televised from there...

Maybe we should encourage them to build faster so we can have his trial and execution televised from the scene of the crime. Frogmarched from the Oval to the parapet and the hangman's noose for all to witness. I'll try not to be too overtly happy and tamp down the urge to burst into song...

[Vinca]

14. The House has been in session 8 days since July 25. And they're still getting paid plus perks.

[BonnieJW]

15. I was listening to Scott Galloway this morning

He said the country is being run by a dead man - Epstein.
