Or at least a lit match to the back of his head…
I object to the implication that it was anything other than his own decision to keep his tongue in place where it was
You seriously have not been paying attention.
I couldnt hear
How did Ted Cruz vote?
How did Susan Collins vote?
How did Mitch McConnell vote?
Ah, I see on Twitter that Cruz and Hawley (so far) have voted Aye. Most others have said no.
Keep up the pressure long enough and the skin grows together.
George Will quit the Republican Party when Trump was nominated. Cite one column where he expresses support for Trump.
I’ll abide by this.
I gave up on Will in the Bush administration and into the Obama admin.
Cruz, Hawley, Kennedy, Lummis, Marshall and Hyde-Smith are the ayes so far
Sounded like Tuberville, too.
So will I. But as a baseball fan, his writing about it sucks. As do his politics in general. He’s a Romney
Even if you are right I refuse to accept he couldn’t have decided to cut himself loose earlier. I’m not letting him off the hook, dammit!
as his wife?
Cruz, Hawley, Hyde-Smith, Kennedy, Lummis, Marshall, Tuberville are the ayes. Seven out of the original fourteen who were planning on doings so this moring.
Rumor is that they are only going to do Arizona and skip the other states.
As Secretary of Transportation in the current administration.
thanks, needed a good laugh. I just completely stole that, on FB
seeing stories that a lot of Trump admin people are considering resigning.
Maybe Minority Bitch Mitch’s wife (Transportation Secretarty) will also resign. As his wife.
Ba - dum pa!
want credit?
Trump rebuffed initial requests to deploy the National Guard to the Capitol. Pence gave the go-ahead.
President Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard to quell violent protests at the Capitol, according to a person with knowledge of the events.
In the end, it was Vice President Mike Pence, defense and administration officials said, who approved the order to deploy. It was unclear why Mr. Trump, who is still technically the commander in chief, did not give the order. The mobilization was initiated with the help of Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel, among other officials, according to the person with knowledge of the events.
Kash Patel, the chief of staff to Chris Miller, the acting defense secretary, responded: “The acting secretary and the president have spoken multiple times this week about the request for National Guard personnel in D.C. During these conversations, the president conveyed to the acting secretary that he should take any necessary steps to support civilian law enforcement requests in securing the Capitol and federal buildings.”
…
It’s hard to do that when the thread is moving at warp speed.
Oh, thank you. That had me laughing.
93-6 is the vote.
Did someone abstain?
And shouldn’t there only be 98 Senators since it is the new session and both of Georgia’s hasn’t been certified yet?
Sooo…can Pence legally do that?
I mean, I get if Trump is AWOL in his own head and Pence feels the need to stop something bad from happening but it remains…can he (the VP) do that?
I am unclear…
