Yes I do paint with a broad brush....they have no concept of loving anything for they have no understanding of what that is.
Senate ruled Cruz amendment was out of order.
Mike Lee wanted a vote on withholding funds from PP..
He was voted down..
Are they voting on defunding Planned Parenthood...????
Pause in voting....
Interesting...
Mike’s was voted out of order for Planned parenthood defunding.....but weren’t they voting from the senate to stay that ....it gets confusing...
I am watching this, and feel so badly for Cruz and Lee. I am disgusted with the rest of the senate.
That too.
I had to step away..no vote on PP??
“The line must be drawn somewhere, and usage has drawn it after the amendment to the amendment.” -Thomas Jefferson.
Doesn’t mean a 3rd degree isn’t a good idea at times.
Interestingly, not 1/5 of the Senators supported a roll call vote.
just shut the senate down til 2pm monday
must be happy hour
No Mike Lee asked for it but there was no second and so the chair said no and asked if the senate agreed with his decision..
Too many yelled yes and so it wasn’t voted on..
Gutless cowards!!
Thanks for update..
They arent “gutless cowards”, They are lying treasonous bastards!
There’s not that many there to begin with...but Cruz and Mike’s amendments were determined...’out of order’....the “cartel” is “in” the game no doubt!
You don’t play by their mafioso rules then you can’t play at all.
what you said
I like your response better..
Mag is a world class snarker
Didn’t catch all of this session. Does someone know what happened and did not happen?
1.Did McConnell attach an Export/Import Bank reauthorization amendment to the the Highway Bill? Was it voted on and passe?
2. Did McConnell inroduce a separate bill to defund PP?
3. Did they block an amnendment to the Highway Bill to defund PP?
4. Did they block an amendment to the Highway Bill to defund Obamacare?
5. Highway Bill hasn’t been voted on yet?
I missed the C-Span coverage but note that Cruz has proven he can raise enough campaign money to run for President or re-election if not successful. He therefore needs NO money from the RINO PACs or other GOPe senators.
He’s the real deal, and has my support.
