A few months back, I related the slightly amusing tale of using my collection of Sam Shaw Marilyn Monroe postcards to draw my senators’ attention to my displeasure at their efforts to strip me of health insurance.
I’m glad the staffers liked the cheesecake, but it didn’t seem to quell their ardor for making me sicker and poorer, so I decided to go back to using old vacation postcards to communicate with those honorables.
Now, however, I’m… I don’t have the words. Livid? Appalled? The ends of my tether and wit are far in the rearview. So I’ve broken out the last of the Marilyns with a message for both my R sens and D rep:
You and 516 other members passed a law requiring new Russia sanctions. The president refused. No reaction. No hearings, no censure, no talk of impeachment, nothing.
So, you're happy with no role in government? Go home, then. Stop taking our money to do nothing.
In shocking near-unanimity, the Congress of the United States actually tried to do something about Mr. Putin’s using our electoral process as a plaything. And the President of the United States, in a literally treasonous response, simply refused to obey the law, giving material aid and comfort to a country that has attacked ours.
Now the shocking near-unanimity in Congress is the dead silence on this flagrant violation of the laws and Constitution. Donald J. Trump has pulled down his oversized, Chinese-made pants and taken a dump on the House and Senate. And they say nothing.
Why don’t we just pay $174K a year to my cat, then? She’ll be just as effective and is certainly much more photogenic.
