Just a Question

[bdamomma]

if this shutdown or coup is not stopped maybe we should say our congress (repigs) should not get paid. Can that happen?

1. We should say it.

None of those assholes should be paid.

2. Congressional pay is guaranteed by the Constitution

There are very good reasons that the three branches get automatically paid. It keeps them independent of each other. Imagine if Trump could stop payments to Pelosi or to RBG. Or if Congress could stop pay to President Obama or Sotomayor.

4. oh

forget I asked that question. I just want too see McConnell out.

3. I've said that

from the beginning. Will it happen? A whole other question.

But, I am getting quite anxious about how this is dragging on and there just doesn't seem to be an end to the impasse. Too many things are in need of attention and it's not happening because of the temper tantrums of mcconnell and trump.

5. this is not about the wall

it was just a cover to the deeper vile action of taking down the government. If this keeps up I don't see this ending well . Everyone has their breaking point. Hopefully this regime will break.

6. The system is rigged. They can give themselves whatever they want...

look at their healthcare and retirement plans.
