[Wonder Why]

1. It's winter. All the leaves died.

[orangecrush]

11. Well played

[Deuxcents]

2. No. The R's are running both the House n Senate and they're still on break. Always on some kinda break

And when they are in session, they’re not productive, so again, no.

3. Yes, they are now called The Cheerleaders.

4. That's what I'm sayin!!!

Instead of angry tweets or other soial posts, why don't they have their asses on planes right now..? Stand on the steps of the Capitol till they open he doors...geez, it's not so hard.

But it's VACATION... yeah, and you worked SO hard for the 78 DAYS you were in session last year.
I dont think midterms are even gonna happen at this rate, we're cooked

8. Didn't you hear??? Work is passe now

We are all just “streams of information and energy” now!
We feed slop to brain rotted llms which feed it back to us ad nauseum. Second hand machines and memes etc humans share of work that is not theirs and now ai is joining in .

7. unfortunately, it seems the answer is 'no'

At least as it relates to anyone with an (r) beside their name... they are purely non functioning bootlickers there for graft back at home once their tenure is over (along with the 'free' healthcare for life that comes with having been an elected official).

Interesting times continue.....

9. Formerly known as the deliberative branch,:

now known as the decorative branch of government.

10. There are zero firewalls in place to stop the tRump/putin dictatorship. When the next elections resemble a russian

sham election and the fascists get 99% of the vote maybe people will wake up but I doubt it.

14. Unfortunately true

[sarisataka]

15. Congress has slowly been ceding its power for decades

In the last year it has accelerated the process of making itself virtually irrelevant by simply doing nothing.

The checks and balances system only works if the responsible branches participate to check the accretion of power by a rogue branch.

16. Haven't had one

Since January 20, 2025

[LoisB]

17. No. Not so long as MAGA has the most members and they are all willing to kiss orange butt.

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. Guess we'll find out on Monday

Massie is raising a stink on social media, so there’s that.
