Killers in the house
They are paid well to represent you and your concerns. But, they are bill killers. They are INSIDE the House …of representatives.
Meanwhile vets, workers, and critical programs remain unfunded, as well as wars we may or may not be into right now. There may yet be a World War III, but funding it may only come after we all die in the climate crisis.
Into its fourth week, there is no speaker of the House in Washington DC. They began trick or treating early, seemingly high on Starburst and Fun size candy bars, smashing pumpkins of ideology, and playing pranks with costumes, props, and all.
What is going on? It’s simply this. Some people truly believe in bullying belligerently to get their way. Some don’t.
They don’t agree on which works better, because sometimes bullying works, (see 2016) and sometimes it does not, (see 2020.)
