“Promises were broken, debt was imposed, dictatorships were supported and natural resources were depleted.”
–The United States. Or, according to Paul Farmer, Haiti.
The US Congress has been working intermittently but receiving full pay from 2020 to date. It seems there is taxation without representation here, what with Congress’s absence. This is an insult to all Americans who are not tax cheats.
In 2020, there was a lockdown due to a pandemic. Now the excuse is the disputes over funding of militaries under the president’s command. However, as should be well known, there are a total of five hundred thirty-five (535) elected officials in the US House and Senate, who have the power to impeach one (1!) president and also remove him from office altogether. He has been impeached twice before.
What might be the reasons for Congress’s failing to curb the president’s abuses of power in the past year alone?
- Greed (profiteering) of powerful members of Congress?
- Power hunger? (desire for reelection)
- Fear of doxing or death threats? (Congress members are allocated taxpayer dollars for security.)
- Lack of time? (If it’s important, you make time; if not, you make excuses.)
- Fear that the vice president who replaces the president would lack the talents and skills required to lead the country? (With his dementia, the president is becoming a useful idiot to his handlers, so that argument is invalid.) Anyway, it’s debatable whether it matters, who’s in charge of the country– this capitalist tool, or that capitalist tool.
How about, all of the above? The solution: Vote these slackers out of office, if they’re running again!
Here’s what most Democrat Congress members are singing now.
SHUTDOWN
sung to the tune of “Small Town” with apologies to John Cougar Mellencamp, and to whomever else the rights may concern.
Of-course I love the shutdown. I get full pay during the shutdown. We know why there’s a shutdown. Oh, there are secret unities.
Blame the GOP for the shutdown. My power is nil in this insane shutdown. My job’s easy in shutdown, while others work for free.
We’re-manipulative in the shutdown. Taught to fear DHS in the shutdown. I keep Instagramming, IN the shutdown, another social media fanatic, that’s me.
But I’ve seen the US fall in the shutdown. Having myself a ball in the shutdown. Arrogant Trump’s gall brought on THIS shutdown, he loves the shutdown, just like me.
No, I cannot forget where my votes and money come from. I get upset by the people who judge me. I’M not the one who’s prolonging the shutdown. People won’t let me be. They keep HOUNDing me.
We are against DHS in the shutdown. My paid vacation’s enough to say, let’s continue this shutdown. Senior leaders say shutdown, until we get back, democracy.
Well, of-course I love the shutdown. We all have phony outrage in the shutdown. People are dying in the shutdown. All I care about is me.
