Congress needs to get off its butt

[grumpyduck]

Last I heard, Congress consists of 535 senators and representatives, and all of them seem to have their heads solidly stuck in the sand. They are not doing their jobs of protecting the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

When are the press and the public going to begin calling them out -- as a group and individually -- for what they have shown they are? Of course DJT is more news-worthy nationally than some hack politician from East Overshoe, but really, DJT couldn't be doing a lot of the damage he's doing if Congress were doing its job of checking and balancing.

I can't even read the news anymore. It's sickening.

1. Both the House and the Senate are controlled by Republicans.

They must be thrown out.

[grumpyduck]

3. Yeah, I know

but, except for two or three, the Democrats aren't making any noise. It's like they're not even there.

2. Actually, the American people need to get off their butts and high horses and vote!!!!!

[Bettie]

6. It isn't November yet

so, voting right now isn't really an option.

[tonyt53]

7. You actually think I'm not aware of that? I've never missed a vote in 46 years; know when to vote.

Looks like you are one of that other kind I referenced. One of those on their high horse.

8. No, just there isn't a lot we can DO right this second

waiting isn't fun or ideal, but it is all we can do at this point.

Sounds like you're up on your horse. No need to be nasty.

9. Not even remotely "up on my horse". "We" can keep the issues with the GOP constantly out and open.

They are already campaigning.

4. They don't have their heads in the sand - They're complicit

They've thrown in their lot with Trump and Russia.

5. The GOP are traitors to our Constitution!

[Zorro]

10. Party over country, now and forever

The Republican mantra.
