The Least Productive Congress In History!

Republicans can't govern.

Under Donald J. Trump and now Joe Biden, Congress is continuing to be unproductive when Republicans have control of the House of Representatives. Every time Republicans have a majority in the lower chamber, they end up gambling their chances because of their own members refusal to do their jobs. They always have theatrics whenever they have votes, hearings and public events.

The 118th Congress is just as bad as Joe Biden in polling. 

Every time President Joe Biden aides Israel, his poll numbers decline. Biden could lose reelection if he doesn't change his stances on Israel and fight back against Republican propaganda painting him a senile man.

Republicans put up an impeachment inquiry with no evidence against Biden. They are stalling nominees and military promotions. They are trying to block judicial nominees.

They managed to pass 20 bills into law.

Republicans could lose the House and possibly the Senate.

The 118th Congress is far below even historically unproductive first years: The 104th, 112th and 113th Congresses, in which Republicans controlled one or both chambers with Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in the White House, passed between 70 and 73 laws.

For a handful of Republican members, it's always an appearance on Fox, Newsmax, OAN, Real American Voice, MSNBC, CNN, talk radio, Info Wars, X and other far right platforms.

Infighting continues.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) resigns after Dec. 21.

George Santos was forced out after he was indicted for numerous criminal acts.

Over 20 Republicans are retiring for the private life or looking to be headaches in the Senate or a governor's mansion.

The productivity of the 118th Congress is so bad, it makes you wonder......

Why the vilifying of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)?

The unusually productive 117th Congress, in which Democrats controlled both chambers and the White House, passed several pieces of marquee legislation including a bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Biden underwater too.

Pelosi had done more with a five seat majority than McCarthy and his successor Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), current House Speaker.

Pelosi did more to help George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden than Dennis Hastert, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson.

Pelosi did the right thing when she impeached Trump twice for his abuse of power.

When the Jan. 6 riots happened and they destroyed Pelosi's office, she maintained her cool and vowed to move forward the electoral college. Pelosi did open up to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), then House Minority Kevin McCarthy that Trump will be held accountable with them all agreeing to it. McCarthy and McConnell  about faced in the end.

When a terrorist broke into her San Francisco home and savagely beaten her husband Paul, the far right demonized her with sexist and homophobic accusations. They claimed that the terrorist was a gay lover and the whole thing was made up. Elon Musk shared some bullshit on X about the incident. Pelosi maintained her cool, condemned the terrorist and said that her effectiveness as House Speaker has Republicans going crazy.

No terrorist has threatened McCarthy or Johnson. Terrorist have threatened Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Gerry Connally (D-VA), Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) and Angie Craig (D-MN) faced threats.
