The 116th Congress

Folks, here we are the 116th Congress complete in total ineptitude. As in at least the last three Presidential elections, Congress seems to afraid to do anything, waiting for the next President to be elected. Oh wait, there is a mid-term election so they all wait in expectation what will happen then as well.

The 116th Congress as reported in other news media has done nothing in the first 100 days. Since I started my blog, I have spent more time on what is happening, by whom and when it is being done. The biggest thing coming out of this Congress is still impeachment of President Donald Trump. Two years, 25 million in tax money, no collusion, can we move on, apparently it is not allowed. According to the Democrats a bill to protect late term babies that survive, did not have bi-partisan support. On the other side the Republicans who support it say they have asked for a vote 26 times. It comes across as “You didn’t do it correctly, no you didn’t do it correctly!” “You fix it, no you fix it!” These are our so called elected officials doing nothing but pointing fingers and having temper tantrums. Five year old children are not as hateful and dishonest.

Let’s go to actual impeachment. It would start in the House, guess who controls the House, Democrats. No surprise here it would pass with flying colors. It would then go to the Senate if they passed it, Donald Trump would be gone. Wait who controls the Senate, Republicans. A stalemate, who wins, no one, we the taxpayers loose, again!! Shale we flashback to 1998. Bill Clinton was knee deep in impeachment precedings. The House controlled by the Republicans and the Senate controlled by the Democrats. Gee what happened, he remained President. Chuck Shumer from New York had the best speech pertaining to impeachment then and going forward. He basically said if Congress went thru with impeachment in 1998, impeachment in the future would be used as a tool for either side to push their agenda. Aka tit for tat! Damn he was right!

Here is my take. Both sides in this dumpster fire should resign. We should be so lucky. Our interests are not in their interests. As I have already written, their six figure salaries, great health care, over million dollar a year staff. Vote when they work, can vote their own raises, don’t write any legislation. Travel to and from D.C. to their home on our dime. Can run for other jobs while being paid for their current job. Hopefully I am hitting a nerve. They need to go, we have the power to do it, it is called the voting box. We tend to fall for their B.S. every election cycle. Let’s be more intelligent on who we vote for, they may just be out there.
