House Republican hopes Congress will be grown-up upon return next week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said people should not worry about the heavy legislative agenda Congress faces upon its return to session in September because the members are all "grown-up." 

“People need to know there’s some stability here,” Cole told the Associated Press. “We’re not going to have to worry about defaults, we’re not going to have to worry about government shutdowns, these guys are all grown-up, they’re adults, and that ought to be the aim.”

Congress will return to session after failing to pass health care reform over the summer and will immediately face legislation on key issues, including a bill to fund the government through the next fiscal year and emergency relief funding for the cleanup of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana. 

The Republican-led government is also attempting to pass comprehensive tax reform legislation.

1. It is always good to have hope,

but it is even better if that hope is accompanied by a realistic understanding of what GOP 2017 really is. And being "grown up" is not really a part of GOP 2017.

5. Congressman from Oklahoma.

Oxymoron. Looks like the Koch Brothers bought and paid for Congressional People are going to make a major run for it. Hunch says,they will roll Ryan big time.

6. Grown-up Republican Congressmen?

I've seen Peanuts cartoons where the entire cast was more mature than any one Republican member of Congress. That may even extend to cartoons of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody and Sherman. As for Trump, his DNA is probably 90% George of the Jungle and 10% Snidely Whiplash.
