"We helped drive the bus to the very edge of the cliff, and now that it's going over, we're jumping off and pretending that it's not our fault and we're here to help."
More theater from traitors.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I mean, would you rather it went through? It's okay to recognize a good thing when it happens.
You both are right.
Thank you for your vote, McConnell. Fuck you for every other one of your votes.
They only did it because it’s a non-starter. Let’s see it even come up for a vote in the House, much less pass.
Blocked in house and they did it in a very very very weird way.
If it passes the House, it doesn't matter, Trump can veto it.
Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha in 1983 declared Legislative Veto unconstitutional. It should have been then when all the emergency powers were rewritten.
So as it stands. All those emergency powers that were written with the understanding that a simple majority was all that was needed to end an emergency, now need a veto proof majority.
God bless symbolic rebukes.
Cool. Won’t do anything though
