With Speaker Nancy Pelosi having already canceled the House’s return from break due to COVID-19, President Donald Trump offered speedy coronavirus testing at the Capitol to entice Democrats to get back to work.When the California Democrat rejected the offer, in a rare joint statement with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Trump fired back in a tweet, referring to his House adversary as “Crazy Nancy.”“No reason to turn it down, except politics. We have plenty of testing. Maybe you need a new Doctor over there. Crazy Nancy will use it as an excuse not to show up to work!” he tweeted.

Everytime Nancy opened her mouth the words "testing, testing, testing" spilled out. Well, Nancy, the president has offered you "testing, testing, testing" so get your butt out of the kitchen, put the ice cream away, and get back to work.

Looks like we’ve identified a bunch of non-essential workers. Cut them off the payroll and send them a $600 check (oh wait, they make too much to qualify).

Trump needs to use his Constitutional authority to adjourn Congress, make all the recess appointments he wants, and issue all the executive orders necessary to get his agenda moving.

So don your hazmat suits and get into the capitol. If you are concerned about your staff's health then what good is all of our electronic technology. I worked for a defense company. I had a company phone, laptop and VPN. I had few excuses for not competing assignments.
Rhetorical - this is bout politics not the country

We're better off when Nancy's Marxists are kept from reaching critical mass. Just let Mitch keep confirming judges.

State legislators in Texas make $600 per month, or $7,200 per year, plus a per diem of $190 for every day the Legislature is in session (also including any special sessions). That adds up to $33,800 a year for a regular session (140 days), with the total pay for a two-year term being $41,000.
We need to put the National legislature on the Texas Plan.

In private industry, a person, who doesn't show up for work, gets fired.

The whole reason is that while they are not in session, she is the sole voice of the House. She is a wannabe dictator. She runs the House with an iron fist as any tyrant would. We need to fire her in November by voting out every possible Democrat in the House, beginning with her, Schiff, Nadler, Hoyter, the squad....

I cannot believe that Donald Trump wants the hateful House bunch to come back to work
I think he is pulling Nancy's chain, Rattling her cage.

Nothing should be keeping McCarthy calling Repubs back to work. It sets the right example and they are getting paid. Kevin will not do that, of course, because all he sees now is a speakership election. Would he want to irritate House members at home enjoying their Pelosi-caused paid vacation? No.

If Trump pushes for Democrats to do something it's because he knows that it will make the petulant little morons even less likely to do it. He wants them to stay away so long that he is "forced" to adjourn congress and make recess appointments.

So, please tell me why Kevin McCarthy has not called the republicans back to DC? He and Pelosi both need to take a hike.

Trump was impeached for 'obstruction of Congress'. Isn't Pelosi obstructing Congress by not showing up?

What's the deal with testing? Since there's no vaccine, and according to many stories, one can get the virus, get over it, and then get it again. I find this hard to believe. Perhaps the testing gave a false reading the first time. Testing really serves no purpose unless one is ill. If your feeling fine, your probably not going to be tested since one has to contact your physician to order a test, and your physician isn't going to order a test if your feeling fine. Coronaviruses are in the same family as the common cold. One can get dozens of colds in a life time, but each cold one gets, is from a different type of virus. I suspect these stories are among the dozens of fear mongering news items the media puts out.

Just a guess, but could it be that the reason many of these 'public servants' want to stay out of D.C.is because the town is shut down, and since the restaurants and watering holes are closed, they have no place to waste the country's time and money?

The Democrats in Congress haven't done their job since Trump became President. Why would they start now? At least everybody can see what a rotten job the Democrats have done.

Was isn't the media clamoring to find the doctor that advised Nancy Pelosi not to reconvene Congress. Bet it never happened.

If the President can work every day and they can put out a press conference every day, Congress can show up. No show. No pay.
