    Hey listen, the Republicans wrote the bill and overwhelmingly supported it. All the Democrats did was provide the required number of votes to actually pass the bill. I mean they practically did nothing wrong, right? lmao

      Actually, it would have passed if every Democrat voted Nay, by 3 votes.

      216 R voted Yea and 208 of 213 dems voted Nay

        Simple majorities can’t pass legislation, according to every dem that has ever had to excuse their failure of a party, so how did this one pass?

            Really? I’m pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What’s the next excuse then? What’s the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.

              Really?

              You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?

                    This dude is tripling down on the idea republicans don’t pass legislation far more frequently than dems despite never having a filibuster-proof Senate majority.

      It’s funny how we’re being downvoted now. I thought .world hates when .ml “brigades” but I guess its okay to do it when you call out the Nazi enablers. 🤷

        .ml is the only place they actually get downvoted, which is sad because it’s filled with annoying ‘Dengists’.
