Basically the same behavior as Moscow Mitch leaving a Supreme Court seat vacant for almost a year so Trump could have it. Government by not doing your fucking job.

Regime whores doing their duty.

This is not new but it is good to see more people taking notice how these regime whores are about as useful as used condom.

Both sides are just there to enable the owner class to fuck us and ensure that burnie and aoc never get a chance to do any agenda beyond placating the edge Lord plebs dreaming of Medicare for all

Fucking mindblowing

This is happening and all he can do is laugh? There’s no anger, no outrage, just sitting saying “I’ve never…” and continuing on with business.

Republicans are codependents and Democrats are the enablers. I don’t even know who the hell the victims are because there’s a huge portion of this country that is ok with this or still think decorum is the right thing to do.

Meanwhile I’m over here terrified and traumatized since February because I’m a “parasite” and wondering when I’ll be homeless or in a camp.

I agree, it's annoying, but in this case he probably can't do much more than laugh. He can't force them to speak, and if he does anything that breaks their rules for decorum he can almost certainly be removed, and then he can't do anything. He should make a bigger deal out of the committee though.

exactly it's disgusting I legitimately despise my fellow Americans at this point

They are all trying to avoid a gif/video of them answering the question.

They've already been told how they are going to have to vote. If they speak they might accidentally show they don't understand what they are voting for/against. If they have to answer why they are voting the way they are, they might have to defend their words or choices I guess.

They're trying to dismantle your democracy innit? Why engage in the process any more than they have to.

What’s the context? What’s the amendment?

[–] Zeer0@sopuli.xyz 36 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Havent found the bill/ammendment yet but found this post from Neguse who said it was a committee meeting related to selling public lands
