I know how POTUS feels but as usual the Nervous Nellie Repubs are doing their back stabbing dance.
I read the vote was 12 to 10. I want to know (a) how many Rs and how many Ds on this committee, and which Rs voted for this vomitous virtue signalling. Romneypuke for one.
Someone posted this on the FR thread about it, my questions are it passed without any R votes? How many Rs and Ds on this committee anyway?
Here are the collaborators-
Shaheen, Jeanne (D - NH)
Gillibrand, Kirsten E. (D - NY)
Blumenthal, Richard (D - CT)
Hirono, Mazie K. (D - HI)
Kaine, Tim (D - VA)
King, Angus (I - ME)
Heinrich, Martin (D - NM)
Warren, Elizabeth (D - MA)
Peters, Gary C. (D - MI)
Manchin III, Joe (D - WV)
Duckworth, Tammy (D - IL)
Jones, Doug (D - AL)
Found this via searches, voice vote is for nasty squirming little nancy boy scum Repukes!
The vote was taken behind closed doors and was a voice vote, adding the measure to the annual Pentagon policy bill - the Defense Authorization Act. The act must still be approved by the full Senate and also by the House.
In committee, just one Republican would have needed to vote with Democrats to approve the amendment - the panel is 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats - but the absence of a roll call vote suggests many more did.
The vote came hours after Trump tweeted furiously that he will ‘not even consider’ renaming Forts Bragg, Hood, Lee and others.
