WASHINGTON, D.C. — The nation is in shock today following reports of representatives in Congress showing up to work for the 4th day in a row. Sources in Washington say this may be a new record, as most members of the House are used to showing up maybe once or twice per month while spending most of their time drinking cocktails with lobbyists and talking to CNN. Medical personnel has been dispatched to the Capitol Building to tend to any elderly reps in attendance, who aren't used to working this hard, while experts warn many of them may not last through today's grueling 5-hour workday.

The House is expected to adjourn early today for the sake of any at-risk senior citizens.

I resemble that remark!

[George from New England]

Show Up — Yes
Work — Nope

[V_TWIN]

Yeah but they’re bitchin’ up a storm about it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Stick a jock in it, Maxine. You idiot.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Does she ever close that mammoth hole?

Aunt Edna: “CLARK!”

Clark: “Make that the SECOND biggest.”

Showing up is work to them. It takes many of them away from their real work, collecting donors and insider trading. Oh, and cocktail party attendance, mustn’t forget that grueling part of their job.

Over the weekend and beyond:

No House of Representatives, govt paralyzed.

bidEn cannot put forth ANY EO to change this.

House staffers could go unpaid, without benefits.

Elected housel members cannot conduct matters of national security, cannot get intelligence briefings, and cannot pass ‘emergency’ measures.

In many ways, I feel safer from government than in many a year.

And you can see how all that hard work and persistence over those four days have paid off, as exhibited in the considerable, expeditious progress they've been making in their chief-picking efforts.

Here's a picture of them, carefully ruminating and deliberating, after hearing yet another rousing speech about all the good qualities, and all the great accomplishments, of K-man McCarthy:

I hope they keep voting on a speaker for the next two years.

This is the best news I've had since Greta Thunberg moved up to a size 34C bra.

[Songcraft]

I didn't ask them what they identify as.

Hah!

[Republican in occupied CA]

Quite agree with you

Sad to say, a divided government that does nothing is better than one run by RINOs
