Senators want Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Department of Homeland Security to investigate "all acts of violence, intimidation and domestic terrorism" by white supremacists, white nationalists or associated groups and prevent them "from fomenting and facilitating additional violence."
The resolution formally gained the backing of 57 senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), before it passed the Senate on Monday night.
Not sure ... Bobby Byrd is dead. Last I saw, David Duke was hanging out in Ukraine.
Amazing how they have time for THIS crap but not enough time for tax reform, repeal of ovomitcare, building the wall, etc,etc,etc.
Voting has proved to be a futile effort with these people.
Exactly right. While the real truth is that the leftists groups BLM and antifa are more dangerous and have not been condemned by the left (only a little with antifa, not at all with BLM)
We need names
We need names. Where is the roll call on this vote?
I’m investing in torches, pitchforks and piano wire. Those are going to be high demand items in the very near future.
I hate to be pessimistic about this, but I think this will get a WHOLE HECK OF A lot worse, before it gets better. Maybe the scum bags in government, will say this is just the new normal, get used to it.
Hopefully someone knows where to find it. I need to ake soe hone calls.
ake soe hone > make some phone
Fine. By all means investigate violent white supremacists, Nazis and KKK types. I’m all for it. But the collection of losers, kooks and cranks who make up the White Supremacy movement are nothing compared to the organized, violent Left.
Probably wasn’t a roll call vote. Good way to hide their identity.
Our Senators. F’n useless weathervanes.
Probably right.
More like they will never get interrogated by the MSM for subtly supported Anti-fa, or even directly as Romney did, so they don't care.
You are right, they DON'T care, because they think they are insulated from all the violence. That scum bag who shot those people at the Washington baseball field, proved they are just as vulnerable to violence, as the rest of us are. I know that POS was a white dude, but he was every bit a part of the problem.
Our government is absolutely worthless.
Delayed action, political stampede madness.
Charles McCay’s epic tome “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” 1841 (and maybe J.P. Chaplin’s “Rumor, Fear and the Madness of Crowds” 1959 and Joseph Bulgatz’s “Ponzi Schemes, Invaders From Mars and more Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” 1992) should be required reading for all high school seniors along with Orwell’s “1984” and “Animal Farm”.
And this is what passes for adult action? A bunch of spineless senators afraid to include ALL groups that foster violence because it is not politically correct. I expect that from the Democrats, but I thought at least a few Republicans had some character — I was wrong. I have zero respect for that group of people any more.
And if you move your family out in the country to get away from all the big city bull shit you are a “white separatist”.
The petition to recognize antifa as a terrorist group has 349,817 signatures. They wanted a hundred thousand by September 16. —I hope the Congress gives this equal consideration and action.
