One of my favorite Jay Leno jokes revolves around Congress taking its annual recess. After they would do so, Jay would say “Congress has just begun its summer recess; the realm is safe, once again.”
It is quite funny, because it says Congress does more harm by being in session than not.
Today, however, with Speaker Johnson calling for a recess to avoid a vote on H.R. 581, tweaks the joke in a horrific way:
“Congress has just begun its 2025 summer recess; the pedophiles are safe, once again.”
I’ll note that my Congressman Vince Fong did not vote in favor of H.R. 185, nor has his office replied to my email and request for response.
