The vote to limit debate failed, so we are headed to a shutdown. 50 -48.

And yes, there they all are on the Senate floor, talking with each other, like it is just another day at the races.

Useless.

This is all kabuki theater.

....”This is all kabuki theater”....

And they enjoy it all.....and the all always stand in the same familiar places while the voting goes on..I think they know where the cameras are so they’ll be seen.

They are all useless,but they seem subdued.

How odd.
