Yeah its for safety. The cynicism of this. I think hes trying to give three rinos the cover they need to delay the vote. It might even work. We are about to find out just how committed Mitch is. He will have to use all the leverage he has to keep Pierre and the others in line.
The hearing taking place or not taking place has nothing to do with COVID19. The full Senate does not have to be present for one committee to meet. This is a nominee that has already been vetted and questioned in front of this same committee before.
NSFD (Not Safe For Democrats)
You dont actually believe hes scared do you?
But if a DemRat pres it’d been okay.
Not safe. Right. So go straight to a full senate vote. Problem solved.
Find. Forget the hearings and move straight to a vote
Schmuckie can always be counted on to be the Dark Cloud, Cold Rain, Wet Blanket.
Always. It’s funny and pathetic simultaneously.
Eff U Schumer.
Skip the hearing and move straight to a vote. It’s the only safe thing to do.
F#ck UpChuck.
If you feel so strongly about your safety then don’t show up
Enough already Schmuckmer. Have you no pride sir? The begging lust for power is degrading to you and to all your followers.
Screw’em. Let them wear hazmat suits.
If I can go to work 6 days a week then senators can vote on ACB
Schumer has no say.
He’s so concerned about people’s health and well being, bless his heart.
You and your Marxist cronies arent safe for our Republic, Chuckles. But feel free to opt out of the proceedings. And take a couple dozren fiends with you.
Pound sand you whiny old man!
Well Chucky, if you don’t feeeeeeel safe, don’t show up to vote no...
