Here's the Senate vote:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2024/04/23/senate-vote-tiktok-ban-ukraine-israel-aid

Tuberville and Paul would have voted against the bill, but for whatever reason didn't vote. Tim Scott didn't vote either, but said he supported the bill.

So we have 17 good Republican Senators, and 32 bad ones. That's a great improvement since Trump started the MAGA movement. We really should appreciate what a great achievement that is! And more than half of Republican Representatives voted against the bill. Also, more good Senators will come in after 2024. Sen. Braun, who voted against the bill, will be replaced by Rep. Banks who also voted against it in the House. MT and OH are going to gain Trump-endorsed, MAGA-aligned Republican Senators. Unfortunately, I think WV is going to get a RINO to replace Manchin. Assuming at minimum 3 Republican pickups, the ratio after 2024 of bad to good Republican Senators should be 19 to 33. Also, if Lake, Hovde and Brown get in from AZ, WI and NV, they will be good Senators, too.

Hey, that source you used is way way off. More than a dozen mistakes, actually. Here is the official House clerk's website showing the vote. Gosar voted against the bill. In fact, Gosar became the third Representative supporting the ouster of Johnson over this bill. He's solid.

There aren't enough Demonrats in the cabinet against Biden to get him out via the 25th amendment. Also, a VP appointment is the only cabinet position that requires approval by both Senate AND House. So that won't be happening, either.

How does this work? I don't understand the tactic.

Hey all, relax! The Colorado governor has already called for the replacement election in June. That district is R+16, so there will be a new Republican sworn in by the end of June, first part of July.

Thank you for writing this! I agree 100%.

Without making any judgment as to the truth or falsity of the narratives described in this post, many of the claims made about what the narratives themselves claim are not accurate. Not a single person who argues against germ theory claims that bacteria don't exist. The claim is that they are not a cause of disease. Likewise, a great number of those who argue against germ theory don't claim that most or all disease is caused by any invasion by outside entities, but rather by malnutrition and toxicity.

This post is a great example of how far this website has come in becoming the very thing that it claims to be against. A mod sticking his thumb on the scale to determine for all of us what is true and what is not true. Although mind-manipulation tactics do exist, and are exercised all the time, it does nothing for the cause of discovery of truth to set oneself up as the arbiter of truth. Facilitating a forum for the hashing out of claims and the moderating of the presentation or refutation of facts is the only way that this website will serve the discovery of truth. Anything else is just another version of someone's attempt at control.

OK, but even so, dogs are 100% carnivores by nature.

The reason could be that Team Trump has negotiated via back channels an eventual alliance or treaty of friendship with Russia. The US and Russia are natural allies, and the two getting along would ensure at least 100 years of global stability. Only the insanity of the Demonrats and RINOs maintains Russia as an enemy.

I appreciate the info. But the vote was actually 216 to 214 after Moore changed his vote. It would have been 215 to 215 if he hadn't changed his vote.

OK, but keep in mind Blake Moore changed his vote at the last minute only as a procedural move to be able to bring the motion up for vote at a future date. There were truly only 3 defectors. And Steve Scalise was away for cancer treatment. Had Scalise been there, and voted for impeachment, the motion would have passed with a 216 to 215 majority.
