re: Do Members of Congress Work?

Posted by LegendInMyMind on 4/30/25 at 3:24 pm
We, along with Congress, have become complacent with rule via Executive Order. Congress continues to embrace that approach because it appeases the base without them having to take any real stand, and we continue to allow Congress to do it by celebrating the EOs and not voting out the useless fricks when they continue to do nothing.

The over reliance on the Executive Order is one of the biggest threats to our three part government system. It renders a third of that system useless, and leads to a revolving door of soft dictatorship.

-Gut the power of the EO and end the over reliance on it.
-Implement term limits for every single elected governmental position in the country.

all cool until you get stung and pass out and wake up in a hospital because you're allergic.

In that case it would have been dumb of me to try to swat it.

My sister got stung last year. I asked how she got stung. She said, "I was trying to kill the wasp!" I asked what the wasp was doing. She said, "It was flying around!" I just looked at her.

Not typically but perhaps in this case I am. It might not have come off that way but I was seriously asking how they were allowed to do that.

Illegal aliens are committing a crime simply by existing in this country illegally. They are criminals actively committing a crime.

This is similar to me trying to set your house on fire, a police officer witnessing me doing it, and the officer having to seek out a judge and obtain an arrest warrant before he can stop me from doing what I am doing. That is an exaggeration, of course, but it effectively highlights the possible legal precedent this dumbass judge's ruling would set.

How the frick were they arresting them without warrants in the first place? That’s more illegal than being an illegal immigrant.

Do you think every arrest that is made every day is done so with a warrant?

All are paper wasps. I have a Northern, but can't find the pic right now.

The last three pics are from the Spring where they're gathering wood fibers to make pulp and turn it into paper for their nests. They're fairly interesting creatures, as long as you don't spook them near their nest. They're only territorial and aggressive near/on the nest. When at flowers, gathering fiber, hunting they aren't at all aggressive. I had a Red land on my hand last Fall when taking pics. I didn't swat, just let it chill until it left after a few seconds.

ETA: Here is the Northern:

You need to get yourself some of these moths.

Sooty-winged Chalcoela Moth


They parasitise paper wasp nests. They fly in under the cover of darkness, land on the nests, and deposit their eggs in the cells. Their eggs hatch and the larvae feed on the wasp larvae.

This one was on my porch last Summer.

I believe they eat a lot of lawn pests.

They do. They feel larvae mostly small caterpillars and worms as well as nectar. They don't provision nests like other species of wasps, but feed the larvae directly. We would have a hard time living without wasps. They (all wasp species collectively) catch a massive amount of caterpillars and worms that feed on pretty much everything.

They're also okay pollinators.
