DC throws a pity party, claiming members need a raise
[NYPOST] Congress’ public approval recently fell to a record-low 12%, but the real problem, according to The Washington Post, is members of the House of Representatives do not receive higher pay, more power and boundless adulation."Being in the House is undoubtedly terrible" and "a uniquely crummy job": That is the verdict of Philip Bump, the last prominent DC journalist who still insists the Hunter Biden  ...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...laptop was a Russian plot and a premier Biden bootlicker. Bump’s piffle epitomizes how the liberal media exalt the politicians who have ravaged our prosperity and freedom. DC protocol prohibits fact-checking pundit pity parties. Bump claims House members "haven’t gotten a raise in more than a decade," omitting the unconstitutional de facto pay raise the House awarded itself last year. Members can automatically claim $258 a night for lodging expenses and $79 a day for meals for each day spent in DC — up to $34,000 a year in tax-free dollars, even if they don’t spend a dime (no receipts necessary).
