The deadline the Senate is racing to meet is that they're sending themselves on another vacation. Can senators get the legislation written in time to go off and do fuck-all in August? A nation holds its breath.pic.twitter.com/K1RkWMn0bu

Politico calls trying to get something done before going on a month's vacation a hardball tactic. The Senate is also on vacation right now, making it harder to meet this deadline. I'm not making any of this up.pic.twitter.com/lxe0BDkbvF
I understand the difficulty of moving bills through an obstructionist Senate, but I don't understand why Democrats don't make everyone stay and do their job for as long as it takes to produce legislation. The utter lack of urgency is infuriating.
The Senate calls itself the world's greatest deliberative body. So turn off the A/C, lock the doors, and make the fuckers deliberate. The Breakfast Club approach to squeezing legislation out of America's most expensive retirement home is underrated.
What do you think that would accomplish? The senators aren't the ones who do the actual work, they don't even *read* the stuff they vote on.
You do understand that they can just vote to adjourn, right?
Of course I do. But I believe they can't adjourn longer than three days at a time without a House vote.
