I'm the same way. I have no patience with animal abuse although I have patience for a lot of other stuff.

And he gets it after one completed term?

Which is a sickening thought. I hope it’s not true.

Member of Congress or Congressional Employee (or any combination of the two) must have at least 5 years of service as a Member of Congress and/or Congressional Employee
1.7% of your high-3 average salary multiplied by your years of service as a Member of Congress or Congressional Employee which do not exceed 20, PLUS
1% of your high-3 average salary multiplied by your years of other service

he wanted to get into congress in order to get healthcare. But he could have stayed in his native Brazil and had universal healthcare. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, being without healthcare coverage, that my tax dollars are helping to pay for his healthcare.

... sounds like he's going for the GOP base... evoking the phrase used to defend gun ownership. That's probably his wisest route. Still, I think he's likely to lose next time around. Then, he can get a job working for FOX or the like... he can join Kait Jenner and Tammy Bruce.

will be deducted from "George's" final paycheck. He should know that, in addition to knowing that one term as a congressman will not qualify him for his precious pension.

No, he thinks he'll just scam and lie and grease his way through, like he has with everything else in his pustulent little life.
