Congress critters who express contempt for the will of the voters tend to have short careers. The Speaker would do well to consider how he go

True.

Something else really bothers me about this guy. He made $174,000 a year as a Congressman until he became Speaker last fall, and now makes $223,500.

But on his salary he purchased a mansion, the one behind the wall he built that you can see in the back of the photo.

It is common knowledge in Washington that members of Congress and members of the Senate are the biggest Insider Traders on the planet.

But they are above the law.

Congress Tells Court That Congress Can’t Be Investigated for Insider Trading

Old Weeping Whiskey Breath left the House a rich man.

And yet these guys have the nerve to cut benefits to disbled veterans. That was overturned, but only because of the public outcry. Now Congress has voted to "reform" military retirement, which means a massive screw job. They are voting to increase the cost of military healthcare, and have voted to cut funding for commissaries and other benefits that were hard earned.

They are a bunch of snakes, and I for one am glad Trump scares them.
