What’s with Congress voting on these things late on a Saturday night? First the House votes late on a Saturday night, and now the Senate will have a vote on a Saturday night? And Congress is famous for working Tuesday through Thursday.

So a 2000+ bill is produced on a Thursday, and theoretically these senators will have read the bill before they vote on it, right?

Does Congress realize how stupid they look? Agree or disagree with a bill, it appears that we can’t even expect that these members will read and understand what the heck they are voting on, before the Democrat leaders expect a vote.

We’re all getting a good civics lesson as we see this proceed. Sadly it’s a sad civics lesson. They don’t even teach civics in school anymore; probably not politically correct to do so.

While the President needs over three months to develop an Afghanistan policy and months to choose a dog. Where is the outrage at the rush?

Stupid? More so than the sheep who continue to put up with their crap past the point of no return? More than the idiots who not only re-elect them, but who wink at their robbery? Right now, they aren't the stupid ones. Venal, yes. Smug, yes. Stupid, no... and they're laughing their asses off.

They don't fear us, therefore they don't respect us.

“Does Congress realize how stupid they look?”

You presuppose they care how stupid they look. In their mad pursuit of CONTROL, looks don’t mean diddley... They seek only to secure their control over you and me and all the others folks in the US and extend their socialist nightmare across the whole spectrum of life in America.

They only look stupid to those of us who see them for the commie crud they truly are...and we couldn’t muster a majority in the last election cycle.

It’s time to take back the country.

SNL

Harry is part of “THE NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME TV”

Harry and his band of fools took this from Nancy’s school of fools.

When will america wake up. We are a dying democracy that is falling into the ABYSS.
