 And while Democrats are in fact total scum, Kevin McCarthy, the scumbag, foisted a 71 page bill to fund the government at current levels on the house for a vote, with no time for anybody to read it.

The Democrats invoked an adjournment motion so they could read it.

These games are played by both sides, but what would you expect when both sides are thoroughly and totally corrupt.

Democrats point out the McCarthy bill removes prohibition on congressional pay increases.

Hmm... what? 
 @33636695 Maybe they should get paid Minimum Wage. Then we'll see who gets rich in spite of it.

 @0e34faa7 

The irony is they don't need their congressional pay to get rich. They get rich by selling us out to interests every hour of every day. 

It's how the House and Senate create millionaires. It's not done on a salary, but done with bribes, insider trading, and perks. 
 @33636695 Yeah they'll always find a way to "get their beaks wet".
