Imagine Hillary (put the knife down Gwyn) re-ran for office and she started screaming lock him up for Ukraine and Syria and started name calling and making fun of Melania. I wonder what the result would be. Sad i know that politics has reached a point where it resembles a slap fest but when politics has hit rock bottom where else is there to go. They do do the same thing they just arent as open about it, its all backstabbing and lies. Personally i prefer someone who says it right out there plain as day. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine wanting to work till I was 90 years old. Are you guys a bunch of workaholics in the US or something - what about retirement??

LOL I honestly think for those that stay until they are taken out feet first (as they say) it's a control thing. They must make sure they stay in charge because we are all too stupid to know whats good for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have nothing in common with us. They just go through taxpayer money. A 2013 analysis conducted by The New York Times found that the House was in session for 942 hours that year, or about 18 hours a week. Some attempts have been made to force members of Congress to work full weeks. In 2015, for example, a Republican lawmaker from Florida, Rep. David Jolly, introduced legislation that would have required the House to be in session 40 hours a week when members of the House were in Washington, D.C."A work week in Washington should be no different than a work week in every other town across the nation,” Jolly said at the time. Jolly's measure failed to gain traction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
