Much appreciation for Leader Jeffries and House Democratic Leadership for getting the votes for the discharge petition

[Quiet Em]

All Republicans who want to force severe economic hardship and health risks onto the public will now have to put their name on their cruelty.

Senate Republicans would be wise to pay attetion because the public overwhelmingly does not want the subsidies to expire.

1. What would it take for the Senate and Trump

to sign it?

2. The con artist has said he would be open to extending them

Thune is the biggest problem right now. Not sure what it would take to move Thune. Probably something that harms women.

3. Doesn't matter, it seems, the repubs shut down voting early before it could get passed.

4. If there's a discharge petition with 218 signatures, Johnson can still refuse to bring it up for a vote?

It seems if there's a discharge petition, there would have to be a vote. But I don't know how that stuff is supposed to work.

[Bev54]

5. I don't either. I did not even know much about this before and wonder why these things

haven't been used more in the past. But I read that the vote was being shut down before everyone had voted. I am lost in your politics, there is always exceptions to everything it seems.

[CousinIT]

6. Yeah, it seems Johnson shut down the discharge petition vote before...

...all Dems got to vote, so it was ONE vote short - he's a devious little creep.

7. "there is always exceptions to everything it seems."

Just like the English language, the way our Government works it's amazing they get anything done of value.
And that's not very often.

8. Yep, I think I will take our parliamentary system any day.
