Worst Congress money can buy

“If you want to see why the public approval rating of Congress is down in the sub-arctic range — an icy 15 percent by last count — all you have to do is take a quick look at how the House and Senate pay worship at the altar of corporations, banks and other special interests at the expense of public aspirations and need.”

Congress is a mess and we all know why. Big corporations and big corporations cash. Cash seems to be the prevailing concern for all Congresspeople. Doesn’t matter your political affiliation, race, gender or age. All that is important to our elected political officials is how much money they can make under the table.

 

One date to remember in “NO”vember is the 4th of “NO”vember, 2014. That is the date of the mid term elections. “We The People” have a chance to correct all that is currently wrong with both Houses of Congress.

 

 

 

House passes bill to end FAA furloughs, now goes to Obama to sign

 

“A bill that would end the Federal Aviation Administration’s furlough on air traffic controllers is now on its way to President Obama to sign.

On Friday, the House passed the measure 361-41.

 

Fact Check FAA Furloughs

 

 

On Thursday night, the Senate passed the legislation after most lawmakers had left the Capitol for a weeklong vacation.”

A week long vacation. These assholes just returned from an Easter break. I am so disgustingly sick of Congress I could line ‘em all up and do that famous scene from The Saint Valentine Day Massacre. They approved funding for air travel during this sequestration fiasco which THEY created in the first place.

 

So they could travel all over America with no flight delays.

 

While Cancer patients receive no patient care, meals on wheels stops delivering food to senors, child care at our nations headstart and kindergarten programs is cut and federal employees get furloughed.

 

“We The People” voted for this. No Better For Us.

 

 

 

GOP Congressman Says Islam Will ‘Motivate People To Murder Children’

 

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) during a hearing on Friday said that he believes that Islam as a whole is a threat to the United States, labeling it as a religion that will “motivate people to murder children.”

 

DanaRohrabacher_FP02

 

During a hearing he chaired on “Islamist Extremism in Chechnya: A Threat to the U.S. Homeland?” Rohrabacher continually referred to the 2004 Beslan hostage situation — in which Chechen extremists took control of a school in Russia resulting in the death of more than 180 children — as an example of the threat that Islam poses.

 

We have a Congress sitting on The American Jobs act for over a year now, a bill designed by President Barack Hussein Obama, a bill that would add millions of jobs for Americans. Yet we have time for stupid Benghazi hearings, repeated attempts to repeal “ObamaCares” and this bull shit….Islamophobia.

 

Here’s something to ponder while debating this false immigration issue & this fear of Islam: The terrorist attacks carried out on American soil & Americans, have all come from borders OTHER THAN OUR SOUTHERN BORDERS. Secondly….the terrorist were in America LEGALLY!

 

If my memory serves me correctly: The highest number of terrorist attacks on Americans on American soil have occurred at the hands of Americans using NRAsshole approved assault weapons. Columbine, Aurora,  Newtown, a Korean health spa in Norcross, GeorgiaChardon High Schoolpsychiatric hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Oikos University in Oakland, California,  deadly shooting spree in Tulsa, Oklahoma,…..I could go on but in the interest of time and space…..not one of these terrorist was Islamic.

 

Now What?

 

 

 

House GOP, Paul Ryan Cut $400M from Embassy Safety Funding

 

“This sad, ugly attack from the GOP trying to pin the murders of 4 Americans on President Obama is starting to backfire hard.”

 

Read this then proceed to scratch your head…..

 

“House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012….Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.

 

 

Hillary Rodham Clinton

 

 

Ryan, Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.”

From Mother Jones.

 

 

Makes you wonder just how much our Congress Lies, Misinforms & makes shit up to suit it’s racist agenda.

 

I think this statement from The Daily KOS says it best…..

 

“Obama deserves an apology from Mitt Romney and the GOP for using a tragedy to try and smear him when the House GOP voted to cut funding that may have prevented that tragedy.

But once again… I won’t hold my breath.”

 

 

The Bottom line is Congress, every last one of ‘em, need to be replaced. We thought the 112th Congress was bad. The 113th Congress is worst than, and just as useless as, warm turtle feces on the rear left tire of an SUV.

In her work with Joining Forces, Mrs. Obama applauds organizations which aid active and veteran service members and military families. “The Fisher Houses, as you all know, are just so important to families who are recuperating,” said the First Lady in her remarks. “And all around the country, they are as beautiful and as welcoming and as comforting as you guys are experiencing here.”

 

The Fisher House is a program established to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment while their loved ones receive care.

 

Mrs. Obama invited the participating families to this year’s Easter Egg Roll, which takes place on the South Lawn of the White House.

Ed. note: The full text of the op-ed by Senior Advisor to the President Valerie Jarrett is printed below. The piece is published today on BET.com and can be found HERE

 

Today, General Lloyd Austin became the first African-American to lead the U.S. Central Command, which has a wide-ranging area of responsibility for 20 countries in the Middle East and southwest Asia. His appointment is effective immediately.

 

During the change of command ceremony today, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said, “General Austin brings to this position combat experience gained on the unforgiving battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. He has commanded some of the Army’s most storied formations, including the 82nd Airborne and 10th Mountain Divisions, as well as the 18th Airborne Corps…With his calm demeanor, strategic vision, regional experience and knowledge, and proven judgment – and with the love and support of Charlene and their children – I am confident General Austin is prepared to lead this command at a time of dramatic change, challenge, and turmoil in its area of responsibility.”

 

In his 37-year career, General Austin has continually broken barriers for African-Americans in the U.S. Army. He was also the first African-American to serve in his previous position as the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army. His historic career includes leading the 3rd Infantry Division in the opening months of the Iraq war where he earned a Silver Star for valor. General Austin later commanded divisions in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and commanded U.S. Forces-Iraq from September 2010 through the completion of the mission in December 2011.

As he was inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame yesterday, Vice President Biden recalled his family’s past coming to America – and he called on Congress to fix our broken immigration system for a new generation of men and women who dream of a better life in this country.

 

The Vice President stressed that while we have to find a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants already here, we also have to fix our legal immigration system.

 

It’s a system that is well intended, but today it keeps families separated, and actually has the effect of sending talented people away from our country.

 

We have to change that. As the Vice President said, “We have to fix the system to focus on families.” And we can do that by increasing country caps and visas so families can be reunited.

Time For Some Comedy: Chris Wallace’s Mitt And Ann Romney FULL Interview – March 3, 2013


 

By Jueseppi B.

 

romnye-scTngs-614

Mitt and Ann Romney waving goodbye after his concession speech on election night.

 

Published on Mar 3, 2013

Chris Wallace Mitt Romney and Ann Romney FULL Interview – 3/3/13 – DESCRIPTION: Mitt Romney says it “kills” him that he’s not president. But he doesn’t blame Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or anything else on his loss to President Barack Obama–except his campaign’s failure to connect with minority voters.

 

“I lost my election because of my campaign,” Romney said on “Fox News Sunday” in his first television interview since his November defeat. “Not because of what anyone else did.”

 

The former Massachusetts governor refused place blame on Christie, who some Republicans say gave Obama a last-minute lift in his embrace of the president in the wake of the storm.
Romney said his inability to win over black and Hispanic voters–and the damage done by those disastrous “47 percent” comments–ultimately derailed his White House bid.

 

Ann Romney, though, pointed the finger at the fourth estate. “It was not just the campaign’s fault,” Ann Romney said. “I believe it was the media’s fault as well, in that he was not being given a fair shake–that people weren’t allowed to really see him for who he was. I’m happy to blame the media.”

 

Her husband, she said, “has an enormous skill set in dealing with difficult issues and I totally believe at this moment, if Mitt were there in the office, that we would not be facing sequestration right now.”

During Sequestration Congress Should NOT Get Paid


 

By Jueseppi B.

 

uscongressseal

 

 

 

Here’s an idea….until this sequestration mess is resolved, members of BOTH Houses of Congress should NOT be paid a salary that comes from the pockets of tax paying Americans, who are not being served by this do jack shit 113th Congressional body.

 

THAT is just common sense.

 

My hat’s off to Rep. Tammy Duckworth of the great state of Illinois, and here’s why:

 

Rep. Diane Russell,

Greetings,

When I first ran for office, I was a college-educated, debt-laden cashier at Colucci’s, the neighborhood convenience store, in Portland, Maine.  I still work there one night a week when I’m not in session or busy with my marketing career. I know what’s like to leave work late at night with aching feet, and to wonder how I’m going to make it until the next paycheck.

 

If I didn’t show up for work and do my job, I didn’t get paid.

 

In truth, I was pretty terrified to send out this petition. In less than two days, though, more than 200,000 people stood up with me.  It’s not rocket science, but Congress still just doesn’t seem to get that it’s ludicrous to collect a paycheck ($174,000/year) while refusing to actually do their job.

 

It’s precisely why I was so excited to learn that  Rep. Tammy Duckworth is taking a voluntary pay cut now that sequestration has taken effect.

 

Let’s thank her and call on the rest of Congress to follow her lead!  Can you share the following with your friends?

 

Twitter
@tammyduckworth TX for #sequestration pay cut pledge! It’s time the #USCongress does too! http://bit.ly/ZESkSn @MissWrite @SignOn

 
Facebook
Thanks to Rep. Tammy Duckworth for taking a pay cut like everyone else during #Sequestration! Sign the petition to ask the rest of Congress to do so, too! http://bit.ly/ZESkSn

 

Thank you for all you do – and for the encouragement you’ve given me. Together, we can fight the special interests and put our country back on track.

 

Cheers,
~ Maine State Rep. Diane Russell
Portland, Maine

 

Find me on Facebook
Follow me on Twitter @MissWrite

 

Thank you Rep. Russell.

 

 

I think taking a pay cut for ALL members of BOTH Houses of Congress is the only way to handle this sequester fiasco. Why would Congress be concerned with a quick & timely resolution to this fake ass issue of sequestration if THEIR paychecks are being paid in full?

 

You want them back in Congress doing their jobs, dock their asses when work is not completed, ON TIME. Pay members of BOTH Houses of Congress based on a Per Diem scale. Congress does not resolve issues, and vote on legislation, and get governmental problems solved to keep America solvent, don’t pay ‘em a damn penny.

 

Rep. Duckworth should be commended for her approach during this sequestration mess, but I’d go one step further and suggest America cut off salaries altogether for members of both Houses of Congress.

 

Bet you $10K every member of Congress would be working overtime to get sequestration resolved. Whether Eric Cantor likes the idea of OT or not.

 

It’s time “We The People”take our government back from the likes of corporation controlled asshole politicians.

 

 

Oh, and by the way…..who asked Lyin UnFitt Mitt Romney for his asshole opinion on sequestration?

 

Mitt Romney Slams Obama Over Sequestration on Fox NEWS

 

Published on Mar 1, 2013

Mitt Romney Slams Obama Over Sequestration In his first post-election interview that will air Sunday morning on Fox News, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said President Barack Obama has flopped in his handling of the sequestration debate.

 

Romney criticized Obama for being caught off guard by the sequestration deadline and for “berating” Republicans during the budget debate.

 

“Well, no one can think that’s been a success for the President. He didn’t think the sequester would happen. It is happening,” Romney said. “But to date, what we’ve seen is the President out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country, and berating Republicans. And blaming and pointing. Now what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and then put up a wall and fight back. It’s a very natural human emotion.”

 

The clip was teased by Fox News during a Friday morning segment with anchor Chris Wallace, who landed the exclusive interview.

 

 

 

 

Aren’t you thrilled this joke of an asshole is NOT President Of The United States?

Go crawl your dumbass under that care garage Mitt.

 

 

 

Read The Complete Sequestration Effects On ALL Americans……Written By The Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

 

 

Enclosed please find the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Report to the
Congress on the sequestration for fiscal year (FY) 2013 required by section 251A of the

various budgetary resources are required to be reduced, and a listing of the reductions required
for each non-exempt budget account.

Call @SpeakerBoehner 202 225-0600 and express to him in your own manner, that he, nor any other member of Congress, should receive a salary paid to them by us Americans, while WE Americans are cut off during sequestration.

 

Make the call.
