MAGA Mike Johnson, once again, to appease Trump, and not his Constituents or “We the People”, has decided to close down the House of Representatives, because, ONCE AGAIN, MAGA Mike Johnson did not have enough votes to permit Trump to legally continue his war in Iran! So, as has been the regular routine for MAGA Mike, who believes he only works for Trump and not “We the People,” Mr. Johnson decided to fuck over the American public in favor of pleasing the President! John Thune, the Leader in the Senate, also decided to release his flock of Trump ass lickers, because too many of his Republican majority ass lickers are finally pissed off because Trump has once again decided that keeping Republicans in power is less of a priority than keeping Trump’s power in place.
Why this matters, to me and for me, is that the people we elect who get paid to work for “We the People”, are NOT working for “We the People”, are ONCE AGAIN, not at work, and still getting paid by “We the People’s” tax dollars, pretending that they have zero obligation toward the American voters, who have provided them the chance to be employed!
And why I write about this is the fact that ONCE AGAIN, “We the People”, are being screwed! As the character, Sonny, pontificated in the movie,’ Dog Day Afternoon’, “Kiss me. When I am being fucked, I like to be kissed.”
