I momentarily misunderstood the headline. Voting out usually means voting down.

Not in the Senate. I’m surprised they don’t wear funny hats and masks.

As always, the Dem’s will vote in lockstep, as ordered, but it could be interesting now that the USAID gravy train has left the station......AND the MSM funding is not available anymore. Nor are the payoffs via NGO’s that USAID laundered money to them, either.

Love this guy above all the picks. I searched his name way back, and double-checked again now. Still there.

Wiki overview: “Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel is an American lawyer, former federal prosecutor and official, and conspiracy theorist.”

The news outlets aren’t getting marching orders so they keep using the same old orders and following the pathetic DC fruit cakes leads. It seems they Democratic party is nothing more than a graft machine.
