Vanity - NO RECESS Congress THIS YEAR...PERIOD. VOTE YAY or NAY.

Posted on 07/31/2017 6:23:57 AM PDT by JLAGRAYFOX

Simple: Both Republican, Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell & Republican, House Speaker, Paul Ryan should cancel any Congressional recesses for the rest of this year, immediately.

These lazy, good for nothing, non-productive, low life Senators & House members, both Democrats & Republicans are on recess far too much, living the life of rich, elite, scum & vermin...period.

Bottom line...there was plenty and ample time to pass Obamacare Repeal & Replacement, Massive Tax Reform & Infrastructure Renewal, since January 3, 2017. Nothing has happened. Please vote "YAY or NAY" on this critical issue.

And.....McConnell and Ryan must go.

The incumbent Republican party is in for a massive loss these coming years. They are going against our vote the past election. They’ve shown their true colors.

Actually, I'd prefer they recess for the rest of the year. Just stay away from Washington DC for a while. All Congress seems to be capable of doing is hobbling Trump's agenda.

NAY.

Trump needs the recess to make recess appointments for all the open positions whose confirmations the Rats are slow-rolling.

Give them a week off so Trump can make a few hundred recess appointments. Then call them back and turn the AC off in the Democrat offices only. Tell them it’s to combat Global Warming.

Professional Congress Critters = Useless deadbeats & incompetents. Term Limits and citizen politicians is what we need. Both the Democrat & Republican establishment low life, vermin need to be tossed into the acid cesspool where they are rightly belong.

Go POYUS, Donald J. Trump....MAGA!!!

I’d like to see them go into recess now. The problem is the Rats and the Rino’s are threatening to do the Pro Forma trick to keep Trump from making any recess appointments.

No congressperson is safe while DJT is president. I think they (House and Senate) are afraid of what he will do while they are gone. They all know he is a workaholic who sleeps 4 hours a day. A month with him having control of the message - must give them shivers in the heat of summer

Getting them to vote “Yea” would be like getting them to give up Congresscare.

“They don’t care. “

We don’t care about them, either. Time to show them the damned door!

NAY.

Remember that Samuel Clemens (a/k/a Mark Twain) quipped:

“No one’s life, libery, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.”

(Note: The quote is sometimes attributed to one Gideon J. Tucker, instead of Mark Twain.)

Let them go home then President Trump can sign the order that they have the same rules as everyone else has for 0care.

They will be right back in double time.
