Nice try Mitch, but you come out of your shell and shown yourself once too often. Turtle knows he's lost all credibility so now he wants to play the good Republican since he knows Kash will get in anyways.
I hope he realizes that he is going out as an exposed corrupt Deep State puppet whom no one has any respect for. What a pathetic way to end a worthless career. He should have retired after he kept Garland out of the Supreme Court. I guess his masters would not allow it.
It's a bit of a matter of courtesy. To vote no on confirmation is one thing, but to not even want to allow the nominee a floor vote is a sign of rejection against the president who made the nomination. Also, there's no point in voting against advancing to a floor vote when it's inevitably going to happen. It means being more contrarian than is appropriate, or holding up the nomination process rather than just disagreeing with the choice of nominee.
You're welcome. Anywhere from one to several DEMs have voted yes on advancing to confirmation vote even when they then voted no on confirmation, in cases where they didn't want the nominee confirmed but weren't so against the nominee as to think they didn't deserve a full up or down vote. But since the DEMs went stone cold stupid in their opposition to DOGE, they've gone full party line against every nominee, with all DEMs, including Fetterman, voting against advancing to a confirmation vote.
Here's the website where you can look at all the Senate floor votes:
probably wasn't aware he did so...
Dude is still frozen in time
Just a glitch? /s
I like your statement better. I was going to say, it is about time Mitch came to the Republican side-but he probably didn't.
I wonder how many dead peoples social security.checks McConnell reciieves?
You mean besides his?
LOL
OMG...fire! Turtle stew is back on the menu, boyz!
All those SSI numbers/id's were needed to steal elections.
He will vote no tomorrow, they like to play games.Final vote tomorrow
The turtle is a mysterious creature.
How many times do they need to vote. Jeezus. Elon please doge this processs.
John Fetterman played games on Hegseth voted yes on the preliminary vote and no on the final. He was placating to his base which is half MAGA.
If they just voted it wouldn't suck so much, but the dems use it to spout off lies and slander.
Totally. More ministry of truth sound bites

I saw a photo moments ago of Mitch sporting a "boot" on one leg.

That looks like a manila necktie boot...
He's allegedly fallen a couple times recently. It's funny how they never seem to injure their wrist or their ribs, always end up in a leg brace/boot.

He knows he is done and is just trying to take some heat off himself.
He needs to be thrown in Gitmo along with all of the other traitors.
Hasn't McTurtle opposed everything and everyone Trump has brought forward in the past month?!? Now he's a yes to Ka$h??
He thought it was to advance his kickback. He just heard cash.
A stopped clock is right twice each day.
He might be too far gone to correctly attribute any motivation to his actions.
Glitch McConnell...best nickname EVER!

pretty sure he votes to advance Tulsi too. Doesn't mean anything. He'll probably vote against in the end
I don't know about hell freezing over, but I just saw some pigs go by my window.
Shit Turtle is gonna loose that uniparty ring now.
think that faggot is getting the message?
Finally... he does something right...
I hope he realizes that he is going out as an exposed corrupt Deep State puppet whom no one has any respect for. What a pathetic way to end a worthless career. He should have retired after he kept Garland out of the Supreme Court. I guess his masters would not allow it.
The next vote I understand is Thursday. So what vote was today?

Final vote Thursday
He's probably seen the writing on the wall and wants a plea deal or it might just be actor playing him toying with us!
Bitch McConnell doesn't know what he's voting for at this stage, let's be honest. What a joke of a character. Pathetic.
So, we noticed that for Kash Patel the votes are as follows: YEAs48 NAYs45 Not Voting7
So, what does that mean? He didn't get the 50 votes and then Vance could vote giving 51 votes.....

Did he finally give up?
Nuts in a vise?
Probably forced into voting this way. Kash has the votes.
Nah, he did that too for the three he voted against. The vote to advance is not the vote to confirm.
Weird, I guess I just didn't notice it before. Any clue why he does this?

That makes sense actually. Thanks for the explanation.
