The Senate will vote next week on a bipartisan war powers resolution to block Trump from continuing military against Venezuela — a vote that takes on heightened importance after U.S. forces attacked the South American nation and arrested President Nicolás Maduro early Saturday.
The resolution to block the administration from engaging in further hostilities against Venezuela is privileged, which means Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) cannot stop it from coming to the floor.
The measure is sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
It’s the Republicans’ job to do fascism. It’s the Democrats’ job to lose elections and offer minimal resistance against the Republicans’ agenda. This is what they’ve been paid to do; the Republicans started with Reagan, the Democrats started with Clinton.
Since then, it’s become not only legal, but incentivized, for them to represent corporate interests over voters’ interests.
It’s nice to see this, the D and R routine gets tiresome.
They don’t even fucking hide it, and it still works on many, many people. Too many
They’re not paid to represent voters.
Although … if voters crowdfunded a few billion for a bribe, Trump would probably throw them a bone!
So you’re saying they’re literally the same. /s
No. I’m saying regulatory and legal capture have turned each into separate entities with separate agendas, working toward the same overall goal.
Whoah there buddy, your criticism is BASICALLY a vote for Trump. /s
