The House just smacked Massie in the ass and sent him on his way!

The Chair declared a quorum was present and a sufficient number of members stood to pass the bill by voice vote.

FUCK YOU Massie!

And thank you Speaker Pelosi, Senator Schumer, Senator Warren, Senator Booker, Senator Harris and all the Democratic negotiators who hammered out this bill.

And most importantly thank you Senator Klobuchar, who stayed on the case all during the time your husband was hospitalized!

We've got a great bunch of leaders in both Houses.

1. All they needed to do

was tell him it was a tax cut for the rich.

[Salviati]

2. I hope he suffers other consequences of this as well

We don't need grandstanding at this time, from either party. It's going to be tough enough getting the bulk of the republican party to act reasonably, we don't need asshole iconoclasts trying to get their moment in the spotlight on top of that.

3. Just As The Senate Would Have Done To 'Bernie', Sir

If, after his speech, in which 'Bernie' actually spit real fire, he had tried to follow through on his threat to obstruct.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

8. But ... but .. what about Bernie spitting fire?

[Just_Vote_Dem]

19. He took his antacids

[ffr]

9. Democrats Leaders

Republicans = followers, candy-ass losers that cannot think for themselves

[Karadeniz]

10. We really do have the leaders who are rising to the occasion...I wonder who the GOP can point to

With pride.

[Grins]

11. A voice Vote...?

Under House rules, isn’t a successful voice vote deemed unanimous...? And therefore Massie’s vote was “Aye”...?

[sheshe2]

12. And that woman, E. Warren...

I will be watching you...



I agree, they did a great job and showed a unified front. Kudos to them for coming together in these difficult times.

[murielm99]

13. Why does Kentucky send so many

shitheads to Washington? Surely they can do better.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. cause they allways vote for the same tired retreads or cookie cutter types .

[degage]

17. They'll vote for anyone with an "R" by their name.

They don't pay a damn bit of attention to anything but that "R" or "D" behind the name. They'll for for Satan if he has an "R" by is name. Even is Satan is running against Jesus if Jesus has a "D" behind his name.

[JoeDuck]

32. Who is "they"?

You paint with a very broad brush when you say "They'll (vote) for Satan if he has an R by (h)is name." I live in Kentucky and while I don't believe there is a Satan (possible exception of Sen. McConnell), I know quite a few folks who, like me, vote for Democrats.

[True Blue American]

34. You put in a Democratic Governor!:)

[JoeDuck]

42. Proves my point ...

that it's not accurate to say "they" will vote for anyone with an R after his/her name. In this case, the incumbent R governor was very unpopular and was running aligned with Trump on national issues. The Democrat (Andy Beshear) focused on issues that directly affect Kentucky voters. During this coronavirus crisis, Gov. Beshear is demonstrating what a wise choice the voters made.

[True Blue American]

43. Tried to kill the

Best Heallth Care network in the country. He was an ass from the start.

Now, if you can dump the worst Senate Leader ever. And when it is time get rid of Paul.

Buckeyes are amazed at how well DeWine is doing. He has my support. Trump is stealing Mikes idea right now on the sterilization of masks. Mike fought for that.

[Bucky]

33. And why do Kentucky shitheads all wear the same toupee?

It's an offense to the memory of Mike Brady

[True Blue American]

44. They like curls?:)

[patphil]

15. More than I can say for the Republicans.

[degage]

16. Rand Paul Syndrome is all over KY

What is he? The Rand Paul of the House? What a dick.

[MFGsunny]

18. Makes his a Massie-hole? Yep, along with Moscow Mitch and CONVID-Rand? n/t

[Redleg]

20. Massie is my congressman...

... and I can't stand him. He is like Rand Paul- a know-it-all right-wing libertarian who has made a fetish out of some parts of the Constitution and ignores other parts (especially the parts about the common welfare). I don't know why he is popular enough to get elected, but then again, I am not a right-wing nutter like so many others in this state are. If I were 10 years younger I would seriously consider running against this fucking clod just to point out his many deficiencies.

[Hortensis]

28. :) Gotta be a low-budget way to do that without risking being elected.

[True Blue American]

35. Do it any way!

This may be the time.

[BidenBacker]

21. Something tells me

this dork got beat up a lot in grade school. It's because of dickheads like this doosh them guards gotta be armed to the teeth.

[Turin_C3PO]

22. I'm guessing he got a lot of swirlies in high school.

[BidenBacker]

24. LOL

Yeah, and stuffed into a gym locker a few times. And the old Bengay on the jockstrap trick. Not that this guy probably even needs an athletic supporter.

Probably why he pulled this little Rand Paul-like stunt in the first place...to prove that he really DOES have balls after all.

27. I was watching it live, it was a thing of beauty. Anthony Brown did a great job of keeping control.

[bottomofthehill]

36. Congressman Brown was amazing in the Chair

He did a great job of keeping the debate flowing and keeping emotions and tempers in check. Thank you Congressman Brown.

[True Blue American]

37. So was I.

Nancy and Steny handled the situation perfectly

Compared to this.

[George II]

38. I presume you're talking about how poorly McConnell handled the debate. I know Manchin....

...gets beaten up a lot around here, but I was proud of him that afternoon.

[True Blue American]

39. I found out

Shortly after this that Manchin had been chosen to give Mitch the news Democrats would not go along unless the bill included more for workers and the provision that Trump, his family, government officials including Congress could not benefit.

Did you know as they were getting ready to vote Schumer found the paragraph was not in the bill? He held it up for 2 hours until they printed it in.

Trump claims he will not abide but Nancy said last night on Rachel there would be an Independent Over seer and a committee of congress to check him.

[Gothmog]

26. this makes me smile
