    They can’t fill the Supreme Court vacancy, allocate money to fight zika, or raise the minimum wage.All of that inactivity is downright exhausting. Quick! To… the Vacationmobile!

    When he gets back from vacation, first on his list will be to vote himself a raise for all his hard work.

    Yes, the Republicans in Congress act like this, but it’s not out of unwillingness to work. It’s that as the party that claims “government is the problem, not the solution”, they WIN when government is seen to fail. The average American doesn’t follow policy carefully enough to see who is at fault.

    Well, you know, Congress can’t go around helping everyone, so they concentrate on helping those who provide sufficient bribes campaign contributions.

    And they get pretty tuckered out with all them laser-like focus thingies, so they need vacations. Lots and lots of vacations.

    Now that that’s out of the way, he can get back to his regular job of collecting NRA checks.

    This comic is right on. We should vote all the bums out and start over with some people who will actually work and not be in the pocket of special interests. (This should work at the state level, too——I’m in Illinois.)

    It takes more work to avoid work than to actually do the work. I think they need a break as well. Lets retire them all on nothing but social security and get a new batch of minions. These have spoiled.

    Not me. I’d rather pay for a Congress that does something for the American people, than pay for a republican congress that does nothing but get rich at our expense. People need to remember that Democrats (who actually do work for us) received 1 to 5 million more votes than republicans, but gerrymandering voided them.

    Republicans have controlled congress, both houses, for 6 years, and they did absolutely nothing at all! And Obama never vetoed infrastructure bills, defense bills, environmental, bills, In fact congress gave no Bills at all for him to veto…They can’t blame Obama, it was their hatred, for one man. They have always been afraid of Obama, for some reason…Which makes them hate him all the more…Republicans have never told the truth about him…They have always lied about him..And they know they are lying. They alI know that is a mortal sin, yet go to church the next Sunday anyway I figure If they are not asking god for forgiveness, they have no business being in church…..Remember, for six years republicans in congress have put Americans all over the country at risk by spending no money for our crumbling infrastructure…Why? The reason is they were deathly afraid that he would get credit for something…To this day, republicans are keeping Medicare from older people in over 30 states. Since it doesn’t cost those states any thing at all to let them have it…Why don’t they? Older people have to suffer just because Republicans hate one man, Obama ! …How petty and un-American and anti-American, is that?….Republicans believe everything that Donald Trump shouts, they just don’t like his style…They know you can always evil things, but you have to act like gentleman, or you won’t get far….What Trump has shown us, though is what republican voters are like, exposing them to be racist and uninformed…

    Oh, I forgot..All republicans pledged to stop Obama from accomplishing anything at all..How is that concept helpful? Republicans will only compromise if you agree with them 110 percent…That’s how much they disrespect Americans..Instead of making laws to help the country, they would rather shut down the government, rather than compromise. Republicans don’t understand why anybody should ever compromise with anybody at all…for any reason at all.., …. They’ve shortened voting times, gerrymandered districts, making it nearly impossible for legless old widows without a car to get an approved ID.. Of course there are also the cowardly lies, and the gullible republican voters…But you have to admire the brilliant ways they are finding to cut down on the voter’s right to vote…Poisoning the Democratic voters in Flint, to cut down on the voting, is the best idea yet!

    Term limits don’t help. Ohio has had them for years, and all we get is monkey move-up. Or monkey move-over-and-back-again! One legislator flipped back and forth between houses for 15 years AFTER limits were imposed.We now have lobbyists with more knowledge of Ohio politics than legislators have.And with our gerrymandered districts we keep getting more and more right wing nuts who won’t raise taxes or fees to generate revenue.Our gas tax hasn’t been raised in over 15 years, and our roads are crumbling as a result.Our fracking tax is lower than all surrounding states, but Kasich’s modest proposal to raise it 1/2%, which would still leave us under all neighboring states, did not get anything but a cursory hearing. The rationale is it will drive oil companies to other state (where they will pay a higher tax!)But the oil is HERE, idiots!Then they say prices are high already, so let’s not raise prices, or else prices are low, let’s not burden the poor oil companies with more taxes. B effing S!

    If your average idiot voter would wake up and realize what his/her congressperson is doing or not doing, and vote the lousy ones out, we could have a decent government. Gerrymandering is keeping the idiot voter groups corralled together so the same jerks who sell us out to corporations can stay until they die or leave for higher pay outside government.

    As far as the so-called ‘conservatives’ and their stupid behavior…and how they WIN when they denigrate, defund, and make helpless our government…It really IS a long-term intentional slow-motion revolution.

    Freddie Koch, father of the current Koch kidz, worked diligently in Russia for Stalin, building refineries…Stalin rewarded him with great fund$, and had his most persuasiveoperative school him in ‘how’ America could be conquered…and when he got back to America, Freddie set to work. Alienate citizens from government(done) by controlling much of the media(done, talk radio, Fox, etc)

    ANY decent bio of Freddie has the essential truth of these assertions. Check. I know what I’m talking about.

    Or google Koch and Stalin..it’s there too. Traitors, all of them, working for a dead genius’s plan.

    Bear with me on this one.
