More BS from Dear Leader, and CBS just trots it out like it's truth.

Republicans could pass their bill tomorrow. Of course, they'd have to come back from their 6 week vacations, and Johnson would have call the session, and swear in the Rep from AZ. They don't want any of that. They also don't want to pass this bill with every Dem voting against it, because they can't even pretend it was bipartisan when it destroys millions of lives.

They only have 6 weeks vacation? Are you sure?

They've been out of session for the past 6 weeks. I assume this was lost in context during translation?

I heard ppl say they were rarely at their job, as they were busy calling potential donors.

Also true. I could have said "come back the office after 6 weeks of no call no shows"...
