And no, this wasn’t a reward for hard work and dedication.
Democrats got to go home too.
This wasn’t due to renovations—no fresh paint, wallpaper, or carpet.
I was once sent home from work for using the word “proprietary” in a meeting—maybe with a bit of snark—but I got paid, so let’s call it an extra vacation day.
Congress? They’re on what amounts to administrative leave with pay—you know, the thing police get after killing an unarmed Black man.
But unlike police, there won’t be an investigation into Congress.
And if there were, the findings would be declared “justified.”
Let’s call it what it is:
They were sent home so they wouldn’t have to do their jobs.
And you still have to pay them.
These are your employees. They work for you.
MAGA Mike is counting on your short attention span and even shorter memory.
He’s hoping something shiny happens between now and September—so you stop thinking about Epstein.
So you forget the unthinkable horrors in those sealed files.
So you stop wondering why Ghislaine Maxwell—convicted of sex trafficking—is quietly preparing for her next chapter. A clemency deal? A pardon?
Or worse, more lies. She was convicted of perjury too.
It’s wild when you really think about it.
Remember eggs?
I just paid $4.89 for a dozen.
Americans forget everything.
It won’t be long before folks are saying,
“I think his name was George Stein or Jeff Greenberg or something…”
Or just, “That Jewish guy who did something with kids.”
And nobody is talking about the “Big Beautiful Bill” that passed narrowly in Congress—
the one that’ll most hurt the very people in the MAGA-verse who keep chanting “release the files.”
They’re being groomed—yes, groomed—by a 24/7 loop of
“Hoax.” “Fake news.” “Obama’s treason.”
Now add:
“Beyoncé and Oprah were paid to endorse Kamala Harris.”
Don’t let the Beyhive swarm on your ass.
Being groomed.
Just like the children Epstein and Maxwell lured in service of the rich and powerful.
The same rich and powerful who’ll benefit from massive tax breaks—
so long as you’re too distracted to notice.
And this “recess”?
Usually, Congress members go home to fundraise and host town halls.
But not this time.
They were told to stop—
because too many of y’all showed up angry.
Shouting.
Demanding answers.
Tired of the excuses and the stammering and the hemming and hawing.
So now?
Your Congressperson is on vacation.
Paid vacation.
Paid by you.
So here’s what I’m wondering…
- What will his loyalists say when egg prices stay high?
- What happens when tariffs kick in (if they ever do—remember T.A.C.O.?) and Dickie’s bib overalls are $75 at Walmart?
- What will Mee-maw and Pappy do when they no longer can afford healthcare due to cuts in Medicare and Medicaid?
- What will Whole Foods Republicans say when strawberries and bananas are $9.99 a pound?
- What will Tim Scott do when he finds out the real reason he didn’t get a hard hat when trailing behind his “lion” and the Federal Reserve Chair?
- What will they all do when they see how many frequent flyer miles Trump earned on trips to Epstein Island?
Nothing.
Not a damn thing.
