That and so much more! Without Congress our DEMOCRACY IS STOPPED. No one can stop them from everything they are doing right out in the open!

And it’s a perfect way to end our Democracy. While we focus on the Epstein files Mike Johnson is stopping Congress from taking any action against 🤡💩
For ANYTHING HE DOES.

It’s not just the Epstein files, it’s everything he is doing. Starting with the destruction at the White House to murdering fishermen. Without Congress in session, there is NO ONE TO STOP HIM! He has killed our DEMOCRACY!

Tonoccus McClain is the author. I couldn't post the entire post, had to cut and paste. It's posted on my FB page in its entirety, PUBLIC POST.

It's not mine originally. I had to cut it down to make it fit here. I thought it offered a good answer to the questions we all have been asking. "Why doesn't someone do SOMETHING"?

(10)Let’s call it what it is the government isn’t “waiting to reopen.” It’s been locked shut, deliberately and indefinitely. The only question I have is how long is it going to take for the rest of the world to realize it?

(9)The Founders explicitly feared an unrestrained executive and deliberately empowered the House to prevent it. America was created by escaping a belligerent king.
October 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
(8)Without that mechanism, the President faces no scrutiny, no subpoenas, no deadlines, no check on unilateral action. What the framers feared most—an executive governing without oversight—arrives not through war or revolution…but through the quiet absence of a calendar.

(7)Without a live session, you can’t introduce bills, record testimony, or exercise authority. Every mechanism just stops. On paper the House still exists, but in reality, it’s in suspended animation. The Speaker’s 48-hour recall rule is actually a death note of paralysis dressed up as flexibility.

(6)When one person controls the calendar absolutely, Congress stops being a collective body. The House’s institutional independence erodes; it ceases to function as a body and becomes an extension of the Speaker’s whims
The legislative branch is irrelevant, granting the executive freer rein.

(5)When that barrier is suspended, even briefly, the balance between the branches tilts. The executive no longer faces a coequal body capable of restraint—only a silent one.

(4)III. And then there’s the Constitution…

Under Article I, the House of Representatives exists not merely to legislate, but to serve as the people’s check on an unruly executive. It is the constitutional barrier through which every act of presidential power must pass for scrutiny.

(3) The power to demand answers—a cornerstone of congressional authority—simply evaporates.
October 22, 2025 at 3:37 PM
(2) Without a session to hang them on, committees can’t schedule hearings, report findings, or issue subpoenas. Extended, unscheduled recesses break quorum cycles, which means committees can’t technically meet at all—let alone vote to compel testimony.

Nailed it!

He’s an ass! Scumbag like the 🍊🤡💩
