Stinker of the House

I think that the Dems take this route often. Look how long the Senate has put up with Tuberville's (R-AL) hostage holding of military appointees. Tuberville is wrong in doing that; more especially as we enter a period of being on a war footing once again. The issue I have is that the Dems could work to approve them all one by one and blast Tuberville at every turn..."we just spent 30 wasted hours considering the promotion of a distinguished Patriot in a fight waged by one Republican Senator.

<Bolded questionable claim for emphasis>

Huh?

You sure about that?

Edit: I googled it

I’m gonna side with the Dems here and not let Tuberville off the hook.

Funny...I never proposed "leaving him off the hook"...I suggested a different way of keeping him front of mind as disrupting the military appointments in a time of turmoil with military involvement.

Why doesn't the Senate work 8+ hours a day? They should be working more than others, not less. That is a different thing that bugs me about all our politicians. I know that they need to be involved politically in letting people know they are doing their work...I just wish more of their time was spent actually doing the work that needs done and less time in perpetual campaign mode.

Tuberville's blockade is stupid.

We still need the military leaders in place.

Can you please figure out how to post once instead of posting so many doubles? We all do it once in awhile, but it seems to happen all the time.

Thanks in advance.

A legislators job isn't just sitting in the chamber, participating in debates, considering legislation and voting. There's committee work and office work that goes into preparing the legislation. They do work 8 hours a day, just not on the Senate floor. Tuberville knows this, and he's intentionally gumming up the works to prevent any Senate work being down. He's the only bad guy here, and it-again-isn't the Dems job to bail him out.

Forcing Mitch McConnell out of his coma for 8+ hours a day would be considered elder abuse.

(I’m kidding. I agree the House and Senate should work more).

New Speaker of the House Mike Johnson relentlessly grills pathetic Homeland Secretary Mayorkas, in July.

'Border Patrol stops record number of people on terror watch list at southern border'

CBP Enforcement Statistics

There are more than 1.5 million 'gotaways' since Biden took office. The report does not mention the number of terrorist 'gotaways' who managed to enter the US unseen.

I’m more worried about MAGAts with AR-15s (see: Maine).

Known terrorist encounters at the border increase 2,000% under Biden. 'Gotaways' likely increased proportionately.

Must have been the Jan. 6th terrorists crossing the border to flee to Mexico.

Patrick McHenry, who served as speaker pro tempore during McCarthy’s ouster, will not run for re-election in the House.

Wants to spend more time with his family in Hobbiton.

He’s only 48. I hate the bullshit excuse of ‘spending more time with my family’.

How about this…. I can make 7 figures as a
1. Fox News contributor
2. NRA lobbyist
3. OnlyFans content creator

He moved up the ranks pretty quickly….
