They don't want to be on the record as voting to support the war. So they avoid the vote taking altogether.
@georgetakei
Seriously????
New Constitutional Amendment (maybe include it in the one that does away with the Electoral College): Quorum = the sum total of Whoever Shows Up.
@georgetakei True to form for Johnson's crowd.
@georgetakei
As of Saturday, 206 days until Midterm Election Day.
Send Capitol Hill Republicans packing!
@georgetakei Fucking gutless wonders. The damage has already been done. You are complicit. Fuck off and take your medicine.
@georgetakei Republican not only are unable to govern, they refuse to do so.
@georgetakei which is a statement in and of itself. Because the end result is the war continues because of Republicans. #USPol #IranWar
to "Democratic Wins Media"
it's not a joke,
this is how #Autocracy & #Fascism actually work,
using #Democracy to undermine #Democracy
it happened before and now again
@georgetakei Home of the brave land of the free??? What a fucking joke.
@georgetakei
Johnson: When the going gets tough, Johnson sends everyone home.
SOP, he's done it before.
@georgetakei
That is how they roll.
@georgetakei That's what you call self-castration.
@georgetakei Looooooooooooosers!!
@georgetakei Republicans putting the mock in democracy
@georgetakei This is relatively dishonest framing of what happened here. "Pro forma" sessions are something generally agreed as including no business, and passing no votes. Generally they, by unanimous consent of the almost nobody showing up agree to recess.
Our party trying to pass a resolution by unanimous consent was abnormal. Everything about the Trump administration is also abnormal and bad, but ending a pro forma session without making any decisions was quite normal!
The US political system is broken…
New appreviation needed:
TACO: Trump always chicken out
RACO: Republicans always chicken out.
@georgetakei From my observation, it a never ending battle between both these parties. The funny thing, most do not seem to be conscious of it, but insist on going along with either side. Am I wrong about this?
@georgetakei the guillotines are getting hungry
@georgetakei Cowards. They asked for one of the hardest, most challenging jobs in the world, and don't have half the guts it takes to actually DO it. They deserve no respect at all. I've personally know braver CHILDREN.
@georgetakei I find it astonishing. What are they so terrified of? What is it they think Trump is going to do to them? And how is it they are almost universally such abject cowards?
