Unfortunately, this vote is symbolic, because those who voted for the measure know that it will never get through the Senate, and even in the very unlikely event that it did, Biden would veto it.
The wall of shame—the 11 Democrats voting against: Cynthia Axne (IA), Cheri Bustos (IL), Jared Golden (ME), Vincente Gonzales (TX), Susie Lee (NV), Stephen Lynch (MA), Seth Moulton (MA), Stephanie Murphy (FL), Tom O’Halleran (AZ), Jimmy Panetta (CA), Chris Pappas (NH)
And to give credit where credit is due, the Republicans who voted yea: Andy Biggs (AZ), Lauren Boebart (CO), Michael Cloud (TX), Matt Gaetz (FL), Paul Gosar (AZ), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Nancy Mace (SC), Thomas Massie (KY), Matt Rosendale (MT), Chip Roy (TX), Fred Upton (MI)
As much as I appreciate the motion, one does have to ask why the bill, approved by both the House and Senate last term and vetoed by Trump has not been brought back to the floors of both houses to put the pressure squarely on Biden. Just theatre I guess. They knew Trump would veto it and aren’t quite as sure about Biden.
The article is, once again, outstanding. And now -- so what? What can be done? What specific actions??
For example - about the all-encompassing corruption at all level of US government:
1. Can a sitting Senator or Congresswoman be removed for CORRUPTION?
2. Are there prior cases -- in prosecuting corruption?
3. What is necessary to initiate a process?
4. What are other 10 or 20 specific actions population can undertake in fight of a massive and endemic corruption at all levels of US government?
PS: The "soo bad" China executes yearly few extreme cases of corruption in China; when was the last time any major US politician was jailed in the US (beyond few months or years)?
Other than some self-serving rhetoric to appeal to “progressives,” Biden has done nothing to end these ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity. He is complicit. Are any of us surprised?
This is fantastic news. Whether or not it actually makes it past Biden's desk, we shall see, but I advised my fellow anti-war activist to not give in to despair. The pressure must be kept on, or they will never know how we feel.
Where would I look for the most cogent and preferably compact theory, written, of why we should support Saudi Arabia in its war on Yemen? It doesn't have to be good, just better than the rest.
