Thank you. I got a lot of dumb questions. I noticed Gaetz is not on there at all, so I guess he is already not part of the house. I noticed some are in italics & others not. Does that mean something? I also noticed Pelosi did not vote. My immediate guess would be that she's already at gitmo. Did I miss something about her?
Also, why did the Dems vote against it? I'm glad they did but, was it not woke enough for them? Just curious as to why, the fools.....
Your questions are not dumb. I have an affinity for questions.
Gaetz resigned.
Republicans in roman; Democrats in italic; Independents underlined
I dunno about Pelosi.
It was the Trump pared down version that was brought to the floor for the vote. The Democrats thought they had made backroom deals that would be voted on. They didn't expect anyone to read the entire 1547 pages in time before Christmas and they certainly did not think the American people would read the details of what is in those 1547 pages much less be vocal about it at Christmas. They thought they could blackmail our Representatives and us with the threat of government shutdown. They were peeved that Elon Musk helped amplify the people's voices. They were peeved that the Trump version was a readable 114 pages containing only the deals they had made for the immediate American needs +;a two year extension of the debt limit to enable Trump's incoming administration to work for us without the "debt limit game piece" being used to thwart their service. So Democrats voted No.
I should note that the debt limit game piece is a construct created by Congress in 1917 with the Second Liberty Bond Act. Woodrow Wilson was President.. Wilson revealed much of the "progressive" playbook, including declaring US participation in WW1.
OK so the Dems didn't get all their cookies so they voted no but it's going to be worse for them after, no??? (Not the 1st time their stupidity works in our favor) Doesn't a shutdown govt help Trump's admin??? - like isn't the chance of recess appointment's even more likely? I take all this as a win & I would bet Trump thinks it's a win too, no? (I am betting that he acted like he's for it to get the Dems to vote no)
