MODERATORS
I want to know who voted in favor of this amendment so we know who’s the trashy shill and who to egg if you see them in public.
i asked chatgpt:
The House of Representatives passed H. Res. 597, which set the terms for debating H.R. 3935 and H.R. 3941, by a vote of 213-206. This vote determined the rules under which these bills would be considered on the House floor. Below are some of the representatives who voted in favor (Aye) of this resolution:
- Lauren Boebert (R-CO)
- Mike Bost (R-IL)
- Josh Brecheen (R-OK)
- Vern Buchanan (R-FL)
- Ken Buck (R-CO)
- Larry Bucshon (R-IN)
- Tim Burchett (R-TN)
- Michael Burgess (R-TX)
- Eric Burlison (R-MO)
- Ken Calvert (R-CA)
- Kat Cammack (R-FL)
- Mike Carey (R-OH)
- Jerry Carl (R-AL)
- Buddy Carter (GA) (R-GA)
- John Carter (TX) (R-TX)
- Ben Cline (R-VA)
- Michael Cloud (R-TX)
- James Comer (R-KY)
- Tom Cole (R-OK)
- Andrew Clyde (R-GA)
These votes were essential for moving forward with the consideration of the two bills mentioned. You can find the complete list of those who voted in favor on the official House Clerk's website [❞] [❞] [❞].
then, I dug a bit further, and yes, majority of people saying yes to this are Republicans. what a shocker 🙄
That might be, but sadly most Democrats also voted for this.
That’s the only way it was even able to clear both the house and senate, then it had to be willingly signed by Biden.
They can work together when it appeases their donors, but at no other time.
The vast majority of both parties are sadly, just shills for their donors and laws like this are proof of that.
but sadly most Democrats also voted for this.
hmm, i think you are wrong. while Republicans and democrats both had their hands in crafting this law, when it was time to vote for the final law to be passed by the house, most republican reps voted for in favor for it. check out chatgpts' third citation in my comment"
unless I am misinterpreting this data, this was widely voted for by Republicans to pass and not by democrats, right?
Maybe in the house. Now take a look at the senate voting records and remember bills don’t become law in the US until the House passes with a majority and the Senate passes with a supermajority, and either the President signs it (which Biden did) or congress overrides a Presidential veto with 2/3 majority.:
It passed in the Senate 88-4 and the House 387 to 26.
Translation: Bipartisan cooperation is required to pass literally anything. So the passage of any bill into law means the parties agreed on something. Therefore, Democrats agreed pretty overwhelmingly with Republicans (and Biden) on this.
Oh ok it was the normal trash lol
You had me going in the first half...
