U.S. Senate

The Senate will vote to advance President Trump's nomination of Matthew Whitaker to be the U.S. Ambassador to NATO. He previously served as Acting Attorney General during the first Trump Administration.

It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

    It’s all losing, and we just have to be okay that the democrats just clutch their pearls instead of putting up actual resistance?

      Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts. I wouldn’t call that clutching pearls.

        Yet the democrats still voted to confirm even the least qualified cabinet picks instead of opposing the whole thing from the start. They said words and then their actions were the opposite. They dont fight for single payer healthcare because they benefit. They dont fight for a minimum wage tied to inflation because they benefit. They take corporate donations and pretend to fight for the average american and yet still do the shit like insider trading and fuck you cuz I got mine policies.

          All of the appointments with the exception of Rubio were split 50 Republican/50 Democrat with Vance as the tie breaker. Look them up for yourself.

          I’m with you on the rest. I’m just saying they’re actively trying to stop Trump. We need to primary out the deadwood centrists in favor of progressives that will actually fight for the working class.
