They are the worst of the worst. They are going to run ads in October saying they voted against this debacle...when in reality they voted for it.
“...53 scumbags voted for the rule to allow the floor vote....”
I noticed that too.
100+ of them have to make it look good? like there is actually opposition to the dims.
NC dems voted 7-0 in favor. NC pubbies almost matched them at 5-2. Pathetic.
We have two parties...That only Republican votes should count is not how it works. Get over it.
We're not talking about this enough. And no, it's not just about TikTok. Any site that is associated with a foreign adversary gets to be targeted and divested. Such as FR because we're pro-Trump therefore we're pro-Russia.
My first-term GOP Rep. Brandon Williams (NY-22nd) didn’t even have the balls to show up to vote yesterday. I don’t understand why he was MIA since he’s voted to send money to Ukraine, voted for the last expenditure Bill, and voted twice last week to keep FISA. He won’t get my vote in November, and I’m calling his office tomorrow to find out why he was in D.C. on Friday, but decided to be a no-show yesterday.
Oh a package from which the Senate can pick and choose. Stupid, weak, corrupt , incompetent venal lying traitor. The democrats in the senate get what they want, your voters get nothing, and you get a huge payoff. What’s not to like about this deal.
Ukraine ping
Vicky Spartz is pro-aid, but had to vote against in hopes of fending off a well-funded primary challenge. For some districts, including Mike Johnson’s, it might be a good wedge issue against GOP incumbents who are otherwise supportive of Ukraine aid.
“Victoria Spartz sends $40 billion of our tax dollars to Ukraine before the border wall is finished,” the 30-second ad said. “Why does Victoria Spartz put Ukraine first?”
Recent polling paid for by Goodrich’s campaign shows him close on Spartz’s heels. Spartz has spent about $220,000 as of Dec. 31, according to OpenSecrets.org.
“This is a good example of what happens when you have a spending advantage,” said Nathan Gonzales, editor and publisher of Inside Elections, of Goodrich’s efforts to paint Spartz as overly focused on Ukraine. “When you air more television ads, you get to control the conversation and you get to control the narrative,” he said.]
My rep voted no.
But as a reality check, how many on FR will elsewhere defend these traitors with the lame excuse they are better than the alterative?
Pastor Jonas Clarke would be VERY disappointed in the Congress of 2024.
Uniparty gonna uniparty.

Those are the ones that infuriate me. I have more respect (which is a .0000000000000000000000001 above zero in any case) for those who voted outright for it.
Cowards and scum like those 53 are the worst of the worst, and I have negative respect for them.
