A) From colleague Kelly Phares. GOP PA Sen Toomey tried to get clearance for his cryptocurrency amdt on the floor. But was blocked on the flr. GOP AL Sen Shelby wanted to include his amdt to hike defense spending. But Sanders objected to both amdts.
B) Dem DE Sen Carper tried to get cryptocurrency added again. But couldn't get an agreement to do so. In short, the modifying cryptocurrency amdt was not adopted. Doubtful new language will be added before final passage.

We are in a cold war with China. It could go hot at anytime.
Shelby is a prick.
This is how these scum of the earth operate like the government mafia that they are. They all will get a cut of this fiscal raping of America.
You’re damn right...I simply parrot the IDIOCY that I see on our side. We already lost at least 10, maybe 20 years, and GOOD LUCK trying to catch up.

And this is the real reason they did not want Judge Moore to be a Senator.
Wish people would stop writing in acronyms and use basic English. I have no idea what AMDT stands for..........
Gee, Amemdment?
Amem brother!
I disagree! Pricks are useful when implemented for their intended purpose. Shelby is useful for nothing!

_____________________________________________
There’s plenty of “bad guys” in our only military complex. Right now I don’t see any of the nations you mentioned with anything close to a global influence. The same cannot be said for the US.
That's always been the case for our peacetime military. Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon (PPP's) are awarded and promoted mainly for tight management, budgeting, and political correctness.
It generally washes out in war.
I worry we won't have the luxury of time in the next great one for the PPP's to lose and be replaced by leaders.
Still, nature abhors a vacuum, the cream rises to the top, but I'd still rather us than China be the world's top dog.
