Can feuding US citizens agree that at the very least we need some sort of functional governance? The various voting debacles that happened yesterday demonstrate fully that the Republican House cannot even follow through on their own plans and schemes let alone meet in comity with each other, and forget about any other political persuasion. Senator Lankford (R) of Oklahoma is reliably conservative. He worked diligently to produce legislation that, if followed, would certainly slow the flood of desperation at the southern border to provide stability and predictability. A reasonable person would have supposed that the House would have been eager to support this effort after so many years of complaints, but no--that simple step was beyond them.
Surveys typically show that Americans like their own representatives even when they hate yours. How do they feel now? My guess is the MAGA crowd thinks the situation is just swell as they always claim that DC is dysfunctional. It sure is now with the chief MAGgot holding them with his tiny brain and smaller hands. If they do not do anything we the people should be able to withhold their paychecks.
The best way to fire them is to vote them out.
The republicans turn everything they touch into a figurative food fight.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is that important work isn't being done and people in the U.S., on the border, and around the world will be the ones to suffer first. They don't seem to care that the chickens always come home to roost and the outcome isn't pretty.
I've thought for some time that our representatives should have to live more like the rest of us...
