“Vote on China Currency”
I don’t get it. Since when don’t we manipulate our currency? What are we at now, like, QE50? Also, if currency manipulation is cheating, China is hurting itself. SO go ahead and let them. No skin off our nose.
God help America.
>> Remember when the Repubs talked about doing this and the RATS went wild and crazy
When the tide turns and the (R)s have the majority, I trust they’ll repay the favor.
(yeah. right.)
uh...there’s 10 RINO’s to thank for giving Harry this power!
Write to Shelby and Chamblis to let them know what you think!
Don’t let them pretend they where doing something meaningful, regarding China currency or trade policy.
They know it won’t pass the House!
Trying, but thus far unable, to give a damn. I think any amendment to a bill should be directly related to that bill. No more poison pills or political posturing.
The answer to this, since there will be majority votes on all things: do away with unanimous consent. Every republican on the floor should deny unanimous consent on everything, even the the waiving of the journal.
There are dozens of roll call votes on the senate floor every day, all stall for time. These can now be used to actually vote on things and get their names on the record.
None of the republicans will do this of course, becuase when Senator Johnson did this without telling McConnell, he was pulled aside and probably chided.
Bottom line: we need more conservatives with guts who pay no attention to the leaders and do things without telegraphing ahead of time. There’s nothing the senate leadership fears most than not knowing what’s going to happen so they can undercut or thwart it ahead of time.
