Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Slim Pickens edition

Tommy T

Not much going on over at Freeperville over the last week (other than delight over the Smollett verdicts), so we’re going to have to dip into some older posts. Buckle up!

We’ll start with – Cave In!

Crisis averted as conservatives cave

NO SHUTDOWN — Congress avoided a government shutdown after Senate conservatives dropped their demands to nix President JOE BIDEN’s vaccine mandates in the funding bill — and Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER gave them a way out.

All 100 senators agreed late Thursday night to quickly proceed to a bill funding the government through Feb. 18. The breakthrough came after Schumer gave Republicans a vote (with a simple majority threshold) to defund federal vaccination mandates. He did so only because there were two Republicans absent, meaning that even if Sen. JOE MANCHIN (D-W.Va.) sided with Republicans, the amendment would be defeated. (And fail it did, 48-50.)

Conservatives will argue they got something out of this drama: a vote on their issue. In reality, it was a face-saving measure. The far-right started out demanding that Congress effectively scuttle the mandates, then reduced their ask to a mere vote they knew would fail, ensuring smooth passage of a continuing resolution a full 30 hours before the shutdown deadline.

*************************************************************

It’s a shame we couldn’t find ONE senator to gum up the works and object.I only hope they got something more than a DOOMED to fail amendment.

This can’t possibly continue.

“cave”

Hidden in the word “Conservatives” are the words “Vote cavers in”.

China’s bitch McConnell to the rescue. The ballot box is quickly becoming the other, better box.

Box?
Actually, you only need one round.
More older stuff after the jump.
