Stroke victim John Fetterman continues to be the clearest thinker about a two-state solution for Israel

Schumer Under Fire From Dems

 

  

It's amazing how Schumer is somehow to blame for the seven Senate Democrats and one Independent who voted with Republicans for the continuing resolution, led by John Fetterman from the very beginning.

Why Fetterman Opposed Shutdown From the Beginning

LOL I don't recall candidate John Fetterman being upset AT ALL with Joe Biden playing the authoritarian card on September 1, 2022

 

Fetterman: Comparing People To Hitler Will Incite Somebody To Take Them Out

 

... Well, I mean, I'm consistent about that. You know, any kinds of extreme rhetoric, left or right, is, is really dangerous. ...

 

 

 

... Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic. ... They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country. ...

 

 

LOL, 8 Senate Democrats were Yea before they were Nay: 9 Senate Democrats and 1 Independent broke their own filibuster to advance the House Republican continuing spending resolution to a floor vote against which 8 of them then voted as it passed on a simple majority

 8 Democrats: "See, we voted against it!"

The Senate filibuster is indeed a magical, wonderful, horrible, no good thing. It makes you collect 60 votes to end debate, but then you can vote to make yourself look good right after you betrayed your friends.

Senate passes GOP funding bill to avert a government shutdown

The Senate passed a six-month funding bill Friday to avert a government shutdown hours ahead of the midnight deadline, sending it to President Donald Trump to sign into law.

The vote was 54-46, with two Democrats joining all but one Republican in voting yes. Earlier Friday, the bill cleared a key procedural hurdle with the help of 10 Democrats in a 62-38 vote. Sixty votes were needed to defeat a Democratic filibuster.

The votes came after a dramatic 48-hour period during which Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., broke with most House and Senate Democrats, announcing he would support moving forward on the bill one day after he declared it didn’t have the votes. Schumer ultimately voted no on final passage of the legislation.       

The cloture motion roll call 62-38 is here showing the nine Democrats and one Independent vote Yea to defeat their own filibuster.

The final passage roll call 54-46 is here showing eight of the ten, all Democrats, voting their phony Nays: Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Gillibrand and Schumer, Hassan, Peters, and Schatz.

Peters, who voted Yea and then Nay, isn't running again next year, and neither is Shaheen, who really didn't care and voted Yea both times with King the Independent.

Rand Paul voted Nay Nay!

 

 

Nay Nay is good.

 

J. D. Vance gets his sorry ass back in the US Senate after missing critical confirmation votes on Monday and Tuesday which confirmed at least one horrible Biden nomination to a lifetime judicial position

 

 If all Republicans had shown up and Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) absence held, the GOP would have defeated the nomination [of Embry Kidd] temporarily.

If all senators had shown up, including Fetterman, it would likely have forced a tiebreaking vote by Vice President Harris.

Adding to the drama, Harris left Washington for Hawaii on Tuesday, depriving Democrats of a potential ability to break a 50-50 tie.

Despite the math, GOP members were incensed at the no-shows, which stretched into Tuesday as Vance did not show up for the morning vote.

Other senators, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), tagged along with Trump to the SpaceX Starship launch in Brownsville, Texas, further exacerbating the situation as Schumer prepared to hold another long night of nomination votes on Tuesday. ...

Vance, who missed all of Monday night’s votes in addition to the first one on Tuesday, received the lion’s share of criticism.

The outgoing Ohio senator initially defended his decision, saying that he was meeting with Trump as part of interviews for potential candidates to become FBI director and for other slots.

“I tend to think it’s more important to get an FBI director who will dismantle the deep state than it is for Republicans to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45,” he added.

However, he backtracked and deleted his post on X. He also showed up for the pair of Senate votes during Tuesday’s afternoon session.

Full story here. 

Showing up is the easiest, most important thing senators can do, and they were too busy.

It's unforgivable.

 

So Republican Senators J. D. Vance and Marco Rubio were too busy yesterday to show up and vote against a soft-on-sex-crime Biden nominee to the 11th Circuit

 Roll call vote here.

More.

The article twice says amusingly that Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was "censored". 

She wasn't. She was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for what she freely said.

It is unclear from the story whether Mireille Rebeiz, Chair of Middle East Studies and Associate Professor at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, actually said censored or censured. It is possible she is not correctly quoted. It is also possible she doesn't understand English that well.

Hard to say!

In any event, Newsweek's headline is over the top: "John Fetterman Faces Revolt in Pennsylvania". It's one crank at a college, to which you probably shouldn't send your kid.

 

The US Senate's stupidest man pretends that the federal government isn't open only from 9-4 and isn't closed every weekend

 

Sen. John Fetterman: "America Is Not Sending Their Best And Brightest To Washington D.C."

You know, before the government almost shut down, it came down to a couple hours. I was in my office and they finally came over from the House and they were like okay, well, this has to be unanimous in the Senate. Out of 99 of us, if one single one of us would've said no, the whole government would have shut down.
