Disaster aid bill worth $19.1B blocked again in U.S. House

[B. Kidd]

No wonder we have descended into Tribalism, ready to wring each others throats.

As we only have two branches of Gov't working, with a do-next-to-nothing third branch. Because simply, Congress is not in session long enough anymore to work for the people. They are derelict in their duties, as a result.

And it is met with the sound of crickets.

The executive branch is barely functional as well, as Trump refuses to make the necessary appointments.

Don't deflect.
This has nothing to do with our continued state of a derelict Congress that is only in session less than 3 days a week on average throughout the year.

Only self-interest work to get re-elected to their semi-welfare seat.

No. That work in their districts is expected of them by their constituents and their job duties.

Most of us hear barely a peep from our Congressional Reps when they are recessed, unless, of course, they are panhandling to get re-elected. ( or running for President).

On Friday, Representative Chip Roy, a first-term Republican, objected to the bill, citing concerns that the legislation did not include $4.5 billion Trump had requested to deal with a surge of Central American immigrants on the southwestern border.

The SW border area is a disaster in need of emergency relief, jackass. It's both a security and humanitarian emergency.

Because they are working. It's up to you to call them.

Uh-huh...nice spin..but...no. Yes, it's an issue--but it is a separate issue that needs to be addressed separately.
Try not to be a one trick pony, will you? There are more issues that need attention than immigration.

Hack.
