    Yeah and Trump said he’d get rid of corruption in the government.

    I trust a Republican as far as I can throw them. Never forget that McConnell filibustered his own bill when Obama said he supported it. Gaetz is just setting up a football to grab away at the last minute.

      It’s still an easy win policy. Nothing would expose corruption more than having people vote against corruption and seeing who voted the bill down

        I don’t see the harm in it, fair enough. Even if it’s politically unwise to take action against Democrats who vote for it, in my opinion, it’s still worthwhile to know where they stand. Down the road, when we aren’t fighting an existential christofascist threat, we know who to vote out. Or, we can see who suddenly feels very strongly for it, after having voted against it.

      It was shockingly amazing to see this, jaw-dropping actually.

      I wonder if that’s the first time in Congress history that something like that ever happened.
