They're finally on vacation.

[tired&retired]

If it’s all Trump’s fault, why is the highest death rates all in Dem states/cities?

[Bullish]

Yay, I hope the never return.

[ImNotLying]

But they keep racking in that big salary they don’t deserve.

[Terry L Smith]

“To heck with the unemployed! I need my vacation!”

[HighSierra5]

The Republicucks should stay at least a little while to make it look like they give a hoot. But they have to campaign. I got that part. But they better take a club and swing wide.

vacation - recess - from what ? the “nonessentials” continue to be nonessential but drawing a paycheck, leaving those they laid off in the lurch. it seems our House of Reps is not made up of 435 - but just the authoritarian Nance. this is a democratic republic?

[duckman]

The only reason the Congress took breaks back in the very early days was Air Conditioning hadn’t been invented. No need for them to take this many and lengthy now days.

Since President Trump effectively flipped the table on them they’re likely doing what their Communist agents / handlers have told them to do: go to their pre-prepared locations (maybe not their own castles) and hunker down..lavishly of course. Can’t have Peloony running out of that gourmet ice cream!

This, because I’m really thinking that from this time forward actual civil war will start. All the terrorist groups are in place, they have their loyal useless idiot standing armies. Here we go. God be with us.

So, Nancy is blocking the $1200 per person?

[Caipirabob]

The democrats can expect to get p@wned every day by President Trump. Death of a thousand cuts and without their relief money, all they can do is beg for cash from a diminishing base and the chicoms who are hurting financially themselves.

So, Nancy is blocking the $1200 per person?

Basically, yes, she's blocking me from getting my gas tank replaced!

[mewzilla]

Not just the salary. Have you seen their bennies...

[cnsmom]

This is the way they hide Nancy before every election. Keep them out of DC and take the press too.

[stylin19a]

POTUS should call their bluff and call ‘em back into session...

[MayflowerMadam]

They’re as lazy as the school teachers.

[chrisser]

If it’s all Trump’s fault, why is the highest death rates all in Dem states/cities?

Like every other Republican president, he's a dunce, yet at the same time, diabolically clever.

[apillar]

Pelosi: Trump must come back to the table immediately and negotiate a Coronavirus relief bill, there are children starving in the streets! the nation can't wait another second.....

(....and by immediately I mean the middle of September because we all left Washington and went on a month long summer vacation.)

[Jim Noble]

Death rates (declared deaths/notified cases), through 8/10/2020:

Spain 8.84%
UK 14.87%
Italy 14.06%
France 12.7%
USA 3.2%

[Dacula]

Correct me if I am wrong, but if the Senate goes on vacation as well, can’t the Turtle push more candidates for judicial positions through the system and get them appointed?
