TERM LIMITS NOW: Two Members of Congress Fall Asleep In Session!

We need term limits now!

Actually, we need to fully clean house and start over, but term limits would be a good start.

Because today not one but two members of Congress fell asleep in session.

Here is Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell (Michigan) napping one out during a live session of Congress, looking like a beached whale who passed out from all those drinks on the table in front of her:

Debbie Dingell, born on November 23, 1953, is currently 71 years old as of May 14, 2025. She has been serving in Congress since 2015, which means she has been a U.S. Representative for approximately 10 years.

This guy wins the Internet for today with this comment:

Fair point sir, very fair point!

And I’m not just picking on Democrats….

I’m happy to pick at worthless Republicans too!

For that we go to Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah) fast asleep during a House Ways and Means Committee meeting today:

These people are a complete disgrace!

Get these lazy, worthless, low-energy losers out of Congress and replace them with people who can do the damn job with both eyes actually open!

Fox2 reports Dingell was not happy with the criticism:

Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell is going viral on social media for all the wrong reasons.

The backstory:

The 71-year-old was caught on camera with her eyes closed tilted back in her chair during a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Wednesday.

Video from the meeting had many accusing the Democrat – who has served in the House since 2015 – of sleeping during the meeting.

“Rip Van Dingel,” posted Leland Whaley.

“MI Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D, NapTime) asleep on the job. Literally,” posted the account Sweet Home Michigan.

The other side:

But Dingell shot back at the claims, by quoting the video post on X with her spicy response, taking a moment to spotlight her Medicaid concerns.

“Been up for 31 hours straight fighting Republicans trying to gut Medicaid,” she said in her post. “Closed my eyes to think about an America where everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.”

The video was taken by Matthew Foldi, a reporter for the Spectator saying @RepDebDingell is asleep in a hearing room. But it caught fire after TownHall.com reposted it, which Dingell herself responded to.

Later during the session, she spoke up during the Budget Reconciliation Hearing.

Her defense:

Been up for 31 hours straight fighting Republicans trying to gut Medicaid.

Closed my eyes to think about an America where everyone has access to quality, affordable health care. https://t.co/gj8gttmX1X
