Well, Coons, why aren’t you calling out your Senate colleagues on the other side of the aisle who keep Lucying the ball on you for enabling this shit?

Hirono, Lee, Markey, Menendez, Merkley, Paul, Van Hollen and Wyden voted against the bill.

Any statements from any on why? I’m hoping because it wasn’t stringent enough in controls.

I’m concentrating on the game, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Hirono and Coons concerns are the same.

The difference is the obvious…

that;s a very liberal bunch, (except for Paul), so I assume it was because the bill was lacked oversight provisions in the House bill.

And I notice that Coons is not on the list of those who voted against it-- just another hypocritical corporate Dem whose only goal is self-aggrandizement.

Being protected his entire life by lawyers ,bodyguards, deferments and daddy’s money he never had to face anyone alone so he takes it out on children he thinks ,one on one, he might be able to beat.

Four-Peat: U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Wins World Cup Title

The U.S. Women’s Soccer team is still the world’s best after dominating the Netherlands in the Women’s World Cup final and winning 2-0. Throughout the tournament, the U.S. brushed aside criticism, complaints of arrogance and calls for the team to tone down their goal celebrations. All the team did was win. All seven World Cup games in fact.

Until she had to defend that pk, that poor Dutch goaltender’s tournament was almost picture perfect.

an administration that has intentionally used cruelty to children

“Cruelty”? No sir. The accurate word to use here is “torture,” because that’s exactly what it is.

Oh, how I’d love to see the International Criminal Court launch a well-deserved investigation.

They did push the U.S. a lot more than was comfortable to watch, that certainly wasn’t a relaxing match…

I was a bit bored watching/listening to it. I had faith that they were going to win or at least create a classic (they did both), so unless I was an actual spectator, I really wasn’t into the final that much.

Now I was totally into their match against England and I blame Piers Morgan for that.

So Coons finally gets it. He’s a religious man. Religious folks should be organizing protests to demand access to the camps and to ultimately close them down.
