    What a bunch fucking arseholes. This has to be a record now for number of days congress has not worked. What the fuck. Oh lord

    In a surprise move Tuesday, Massie filed a resolution to impeach Hegseth as “privileged,” meaning the House would need to act on it within two legislative days. That set up a vote no later than Thursday, but then GOP leaders scrapped votes that day, pushing the impeachment vote until after the election.

    Lmao

      “In a surprise move”? What part of this is surprising? Have these people not been paying attention to the last decade?

        I think the surprise move is Massie’s privileged impeachment resolution, not that Johnson is a spineless coward who’s trying to rig as many things as he can

    Damn. I really wish whenever there was work that I didn’t want to do I could just say “nah, I’m gonna take some paid time off instead”.

    Must be nice to work five months a year for a six-figure salary, best healthcare on Earth, and all the easy-money stock trades you can handle.

    … and have you ever watched them in session? Even when they are “working”, it’s hours of killing time, and a good deal of them don’t bother to show up.

    The more you look into it, the more disgusting it gets. Revolting pigs, the lot.

    They won’t fix it… they’re paid not to. “They” includes Democrats.

      Technically they work for you all. So you should hold them accountable.

      I suggest the French method

      Don’t worry they will be working. They think it is work to glad hand with their rich owners (so meant donors) that what they will be doing. Fuck the lot of them.

    If I showed up to work drunk everyday screaming about nonsensical things , they’d put me away. Keg stands is no basis for running an military industrial complex.

    Was the house out of session like the senate until a few days ago?

    Did they really just come back, and then go nah, and leave again?

      Barely over two weeks ago, yes. They were just off for a month, now off for another two months. Suck shit, Mike Johnson. Take the rest of your career off.

    That one was all over everybody’s bingo card. Their tricks and gambits are getting old.

    Convenient to say they’re going to boot Hesgeth AFTER the elections. Need to farm as many GOP votes as possible.

    If they actually wanted this, it would’ve been done already. There was justification for it a long time ago.

    Hint, hint, between the attempted election fraud and possibility of things remaining exactly the same, these shitstains will do nothing to end the war if the elections go in their favor.

      The rules need to be rewritten. The house speaker and Senate majority leader both have WAY too much power. No single individual should be able to dictate what the entire body does, nor have sole decisionmaking authority to decide what bills can and cannot be voted on. And it should take a majority vote to call a recess.
