The Senate on Tuesday unanimously passed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) resolution calling on the Trump administration to hand over a whistleblower’s complaint about President Donald Trump to the Senate and House Intelligence Committees.
Just one question: How is this not a screaming headline? Give me another explanation for this besides McConnell seeing it’s all over.
My father’s reply to the once-common phrase, “You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.”, was that you could squeeze the turnip anyway and see just what does come out.
He. Is. Toast.
He found the line even Republicans won’t cross.
If ‘unanimous’ still means what I think it means, whole lotta Republican senators got their fingerprnts on this. Holy Moley.
Whoa. Infrastructure Week is over, kids.
Unanimously!? This is stunning.
A little help, please. What does this word ‘unanimously’ mean in a Senate context?
Amos 5:24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
This is Goldwater schooling Nixon.
I just heard a breakdown of the vote on MSNBC. It is non binding - it’s a gesture, and a really important one. But it’s not a mechanism for any further action.
Just tuned into Fox – and they’re all shell shocked…
This is incredibly disorienting after the past four years of GOP silence and complicity.
By passing by unanimous consent doesn’t mean that any one has voted, but that no one has objected.
So they can weaselspeak and say they didn’t really vote for it.
I think I got that right.
It doesn’t have to be. It tells Trump he fucked up so bad that this time he’s on his own.
I think I’ve just been smacked by gob.
I had a friend in high school, a “Richie Rich” character, father was very wealthy. He pulled stupid stunts all the time, embarrassing the family, damaging vehicles, bad grades, the works. This went on for years. Then one day he and a couple other buddies dropped a bunch of acid and decided it would be fun to watch the high school burn to the ground. So that’s what they did. That was finally the last straw with his father. Off to a brutal military academy cum rehab/detention facility he went.
Maybe Trump has finally burned down the high school.
Ah, ok. That makes more sense than real action.
Yup, seems to me that this is Mitch telling him they can no longer provide cover.
