I'm glad that we have a free and open internet where we can criticize our government all we want. I value the fact that Republicans and Leftys have the right to scream and curse at the best president ever to take office.
Sadly China doesn't have that. https://t.co/SPovHllMDQ
@rat_liker You’ve encapsulated the whole problem with politics today. You care more about optics than efficacy. Power politics is boring, administrative and incremental. Not sexy. Please educate yourself better.
@Mermchele@GretaGrace20@Rep_Stansbury No it wasn’t important. Johnson had several other procedural methods to kill it, and he could have just waited longer for the 7 other Republicans to pass the referral.
Pete will only be successfully impeached after Jan 6.
There ya go. Bingo. Again, I ask rhetorically - what would Dems have actually gained IN THE LONG RUN by pushing this vote through? Not as much as they gain by it not going through, IMO.
Massie had an agenda and I do not think it was pure.
@MiddleRad@KyriClaflin@LEBassett@joe_jo9 the vote failed because democrats didnt show up to vote, it wasnt "closed early". OP is saying they failed on purpose, youre saying they didnt. just seeing what sticks to the wall 😂 this is why we have new leadership coming next wednesday. democrats deserve more than complacency
@spacea1ien@KyriClaflin@LEBassett@joe_jo9 Yes he did. And the vote failed because they didn’t have the votes, those 11 not withstanding. I know you probably don’t know how to count, but there are more republicans than democrats for the next 8 weeks.
@spacea1ien@KyriClaflin@LEBassett@joe_jo9 No, what I said was true. He controls when voting opens and closes, as speaker of the house. He called the vote when he knew democrats wouldn't be available. And if they had been, he would have kept the vote open until he had what he needed.
Truth hurts.
People upset at the Democrats not being present for the impeachment (procedure) vote last night, should be thanking them. If they had been present Johnson wouldn't have even called it for vote. Then what would these losers use to engagement bait by unnecessarily attacking the Democrats?
Rep. @AOC: There is one candidate in this race, Hakeem Jeffries, and I think that everyone is far more concerned about what that leadership means, what it is promising, and what it seeks to deliver.
