The U.S. House has voted overwhelmingly to set aside an effort to impeach President Donald Trump over the military strikes in Iran. A lone Democrat, Rep.
“At this time, at this moment, we are focusing on what this big, ugly bill is going to do,” he said about the big Trump tax breaks package making its way through Congress. “I think anything outside of that is a distraction because this is the most important thing that we can focus on.”
Republicans will ram through whatever shit they can whether it’s legal or not, and Democrats will trip over their own dicks and let the parliamentarian block them even when they have a majority.
I increasingly feel like voting for people is a bad system. I don’t want to pick someone to make all the decisions for me: just let me vote directly on the issue dammit. Tired of representatives lying to get elected or doing heel turns or chickening out.
Absolutely agree
Such a garbage excuse.

If only we had a Congress that could do 2 things at the same time
They’re able to lie and suck off Trump at the same time.
Note that he didn’t say anything about actually DEFEATING that bill.
Like with Trump himself, they’ll just fundraise on it while refusing to break any norms to defeat or even stall it.
