They don’t chicken out..they are for it.

They don’t chicken out..they are for it.
Or, at least they are not against it.

Theater on theater. The “bill” is a resolution wish list, not a set of laws. It’s theater, not legislation.

With the massive right/left divide in America these days isn't most of Congress just Kabuki Theater?

[Haiku Guy]

If it doesn’t pass, Mitch McConnell, in order to be helpful, should vote on individual components to see which could be passed, in order to safe the planet...

Eliminate internal combustion engines by 2030? (Yes/No)

Replace air travel with high speed rail by 2030? (Yes/No)

Ban all cows? (Yes/No)

Guaranteed income for those unwilling to work? (Yes/No)

etc...

[Pearls Before Swine]

I get it. Regardless of how the Dems vote, though, they’ll be able to weasel around it. It’s a non-binding resolution; it’s unclear.

Haven’t you heard people “explain” their votes before? No one cares, no one really remembers in most cases.

[Cheerio]

... all he’s doing is giving this airhead congresswoman more free press. Good! More people should know about the insane things these commies want to impose on our country.

BUT most of my relatives get their "news" from the old stream media who will never turn on Occasional Cortex, Booker, and the likes of Carmel. These are the current generation's leaders of the Church of Liberalism.

These folk have never heard of Breitbart, Drudge, Power Line, etc. They continue in their state of ignorance and stupidity listening to these talking heads night after night and think this NGD is the New Deal and a fine solution. I say nothing is changing the mind of these old stream media fed LIV types.

Be careful what you wish for...

It might pass.

[Cheerio]

[Black Agnes]

And when it passes, then what?

[laplata]

I understand your good points. Thanks.

Presume you meant the divide in the REAL world...there’s not much different between the ‘right’ & ‘left’ in ALL levels of govt (as O’Care has shown, the (R)N(C) love it as much...they just think they can run it *better*)

As this vote shows, it’s more time/energy wasted on nothing while deadlines loom and D.C. get another case of “We’re got to do *something* (to protect our phony-baloney jobs)...N-O-W”

I would love to hear the floor debate.

[DungeonMaster]

When you have a congress lib saying something every bit as stupid as "Guam could tip over and capsize", you have to shout it from the roof tops!

I think it is a great idea to call a vote.

Welcome to the big leagues, Sandy.

[KTM rider]

I wasn't as angry at AOC's ignorance and the fact that she got elected <

I was angry to the point of yelling that the press and democrat party was taking her serious !

Now we got this clown McConnell stirring the pot.

[KTM rider]

Hey Mitch How about a vote to abolish the Affordable Healthcare Act.....OH no we have to vote on a green new deal instead

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

"And when it passes, then what?"

The Peesident will VETO.

[Black Agnes]

It sets a bad precedent.

You do realize every kiddo under 30 thinks this is a totally great idea. And in 5 years even more of those kiddos will be voting. Right?

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Didn’t mean to call him “Peesident” - type-o.

You have a point.
