FOR THE PEOPLE, as if!

 The Constitution grants the U.S. House of Representatives a unique set of powers in the federal government, embodying the framers' intent to make it uniquely responsive to the will of the people. (house.gov)

Speaker Johnson sent the House home for the holidays on Thursday with no indication he’ll bring them back to Washington to take up a possible Senate deal on border security and Ukraine aid. He could soon have to choose whether to try to push a proposal that his right flank is likely to hate. Once Congress returns next year, Johnson will have big problems to resolve: government funding that starts to expire Jan. 19, the potential border-Ukraine fight and warring surveillance proposals that are bitterly splitting the GOP conference.

With unfinished business FOR THE PEOPLE, with disregard to work until decisions have been made FOR THE PEOPLE, with the sheer absence of placing the PEOPLE’S priority above their own Political ambitions, The Christian Nationalist Speaker of the House had decided that a Holiday vacation was more important for the member's House of Representatives, than finalizing both domestic and international issues which are key to the successful lives OF THE PEOPLE, for whom, once upon a time members of the House were to have served unconditionally!

 

Hmm…home for the holidays for the Congress, as if during this past year, THIS Congress has accomplished anything more than trying to get even for all of the self-inflicted wounds Trump, had inflicted upon himself. I am not certain how in the world of Private Business, any employee would be rewarded and given time away from the office, when in fact that employee’s time in the office, was so below par, and so inadequate in achieving a single solitary goal. But the employees OF THE PEOPLE, have little regard for their Bosses, and even less regard to achieving any goals that do not promote and provide for their own selfish priorities.

 

Once the House returns to session, it will have less than two weeks before its first government funding deadline, with the second coming on Feb. 2. The House left town on Thursday without even reaching a bicameral agreement on how much total money to spend. (POLITICO)
