Time to disband the buildings in DC...send Congress members and their staff back to their HOME districts...so they can represent their constituents...and not centralized Lobbyists.

If not successful, we will need to blow them out of the water.

In the play and movie 1776 they had to travel by hard rutted dirt roads for times like “only 8 days” and the one named Caesar was seriously ill and barely able to walk but had to come in to vote.

Now Dems will be lying back in a chair on a beach, without a mask, and cheerfully voting against the GOP by smartphone. With saved numbers for lobbyists and people who owe them favors.

What a life.

“We could ask, how does the Sergeant At Arms know it’s them?”

Speaking of that, I did not think that was Biden wearing the mask and sunglasses in recent pics. I think Biden has a longish, rectangular face but the man in the pictures seemed to have a diamond or heart shaped face. Seriously.

I thought the Constitution required presence on the Congressional floor to vote. That is why a Congressman cannot be arrested as a ploy to prevent his vote.

And aside from “exploding”, EXACTLY what is being done to put an end to these CONTINUING assaults on our Constitution by the emboldened Commies?

Not one damned thing that I can see. Am I missing something?

The House and Nazi Pelousy show themselves to be non-essential in addition to being worthless.

” 1 Dem voted for himself and, by proxy, for 6 fellow Dems? That is less sensational than ‘voted 7 times’.”

Difference without distinction.

Bingo. The senate can make rules too. Any bill that was not voted for in person can reconsidered Invalid. The Senate should refuse to touch them.

McConnel needs to announce the Senate will not act on any matter passed by the house using proxy voting.

We need a list of the tyrants who could not be bothered to vote. McCarthy is right; anything passed by the Fake Congress is not valid. An invalid law MUST be ignored and denounced.

President Trump still has his veto pen.

If you can stand in line at Kroger’s or Lowe’s you can stand in line to vote. If you can go get your hair done or go to a restaurant you can go vote.

I guess the buildings these losers have offices in should be closed and sold. They don’t need “staff”. Fire them all. What a bunch of unconstitutional crapola being foisted upon us. What embarrassing losers. They are frauds. They are criminals. they should be held to account for their perfidy.

How do we know that they voted for other people correctly? What if somebody wanted to vote ‘present’, or worse, against their party? Might a proxy vote against them? How would anyone know?

Can’t argue with that they are a disgrace to the founders of this country.
