Have you suffered through watching one of these “votes” on CSPAN? If very many real people took the opportunity to watch, they'd be in the Senate Chamber with pitchforks and torches. Why these utterly contemptuous bastards can't sit at their desk and have the clerk call the role, incenses me. They wander around the chamber like it's some effing cocktail party, and one after another saunters over to one of the tables in front and gives a thumbs up or down then walks away. It literally takes an hour or more, when five minutes is all that's needed. What a passel of feckless turds!
I watched a few and it’s an absolute travesty! I always thought people said Senator’s shouldn’t run for President because of their voting record but it’s quite clearly because they are used to just talk, talk talk and that doesn’t actually work when you need to run a government. They all think they are so important and MUST be heard. Honestly, if 72 people voted for him why in the world did it take over a month? I don’t know how anything is going to get passed to be quite honest. Rush was talking about “Rule 19” a couple of weeks ago as a way to push through Gorsuch without going Nuclear. Since then, i’ve been wondering why don’t they use rule 19 for EVERYTHING?!?!? Essentially they talk themselves dry for 2 or 3 days and then you get to vote on the bill/nominations etc. Avoids the fillibuster
Today while watching spam and waiting on the Ross vote, I noticed DiFi of California using a cane to walk with, rather shuffle with...she is almost 85 and time for term limits.
that is the one reason I waste time watching them vote, to see who is helping who get around..they are all OLD..just as I am...time for them to RETIRE.
