The sad part it, I don't even think what has happened there can be considered a win.

No it won't because reasons I can't substantiate and here's an opinion supporting my opinion.

It would be incredible to have this man as President.

As someone who gets all their news from imgur. I can only believe that Bernie Sanders & Chrisp Rat are the most popular people on earth

As someone who interned on Capitol Hill. It is a shame to our politic system that representatives do not have to be present for these things
LefthandedLink
That blows my mind. You're tasked with running a nation and you can't even be bothered to show up?
Representatives vary in degree of commitment to the cause of being an actual politician (dedicated, frugal, responsible) quite drastically.
polaroidkidd
I'm confused... do they provide some sort of service?... or is it more like a "..and collect $200 when you go past Capitol Hill"?
No, there are vary degrees to which reps operate. I worked for a guy who has slept on a couch in his office for 20+ years to save money.
what do you pay them for exactly?
They are the scapegoats and the decision makers. These jobs are a really notoriously stressful. Just look at 2008 Obama to now. Its crazy.
moogecko
They pay themselves... with our money... to do nothing...
Not wholly true. Yes tax dollars pay their saleries as well as all "public servents (cops, firefighters, elects...etc) they do work hard tho
sounds like my kinda gig! where do I sign up? can aliens participate if they're not mexican?
Noob3rts
I do not understand why this is allowed to happen. Why can people leave while this is going on?

Remember when people questioned your patriotism because you opposed the war? Now those same people can run away from it fast enough.

I question the patriotism of the asses that aren't in those seats. Traitors, the lot.

I believe we should have done it smarter. There is a direct relationship between rushing of our troops home and the rise of Isis.

Only because the US government was supplying the Islamic state so they would overthrow their government, but it backfired.

Havnt you heard though? It's all Hillary Clinton's fault.
Actually, the senate intelligence committe that Kerry was a member of who advised Bush that Saddam had WMD's is to blame.

While the empty room seems poignant, it's really just always like that. It's why they stopped showing it.

Saddest part. How can a democracy work if the people representing us can't be bothered to show up.

That's just splendid.

This was a contributing factor for the removal of the Articles of Confederation. Maybe it's the current Constitutions turn.

If you won't show up for work because you are too busy playing golf with campaign buddies, you're fired.

they should have cameras on them when they aren't in the office
TheOutdoors
Make it a reality TV show
it would be the most fascinating boring show on the planet, but still worth the airtime

How does this even happen?
SirBedivereTheWise
I mean, this was the gulf war though. The one in 1991. The one where we stopped Saddam from invading an allied nation then left.

How do you know? That makes a big difference even though it shouldn't.
