There is no bigger exercise in futility for Congress than this impeachment debacle. Instead of trying to impeach the president, I wish people like Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) , who represents the Seattle area, would concentrate on helping their constituents.

I saw a video on KOMO 4 of a guy who stopped outside of a nice restaurant in a Seattle hotel, pulled his pants down, and pooped against the window, for everyone inside the restaurant to see.

Hey Pramila Jayapal — why don’t you pay more attention to this city you are supposed to represent in Congress? You’re just like Bob Ferguson in the way you focus on building yourself a national platform rather than actually trying to solve problems at home. All you can think about is this impeachment.

You go on CNN and MSNBC all the time talking about impeachment, but meanwhile your constituents are lying in the mud, killing themselves with heroin, or pooping on sidewalks in front of restaurants.

Dori: Jay Inslee ignores Washington’s problems to go on national stage

The same goes for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. There is a photograph making the rounds on Twitter of a guy in a Safeway in San Francisco doing the same thing — dropping his pants and pooping in the middle of an aisle. He, at least, used some toilet paper he presumably found in a neighboring aisle. That was in Pelosi’s district.

Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Jayapal, why don’t you focus a little more on real issues instead of this absolute phoniness that is accomplishing nothing?
