[FelineOverlord]

I know that Massie tweeted that he wasn't going to vote for it.

3. And 20 Republicans voted against it. Good for them. The censure resolution was insane!

[Tommy Carcetti]

5. Broken clock moment for Massie...

...but that's probably because he doesn't want to be on the receiving end of such a vote?

7. Massie tweeted

That he thought the $16M fine was a violation of the Constitution.

He also said that he was still in litigation with Nancy Pelosi over masks.

about it.

9. Good. Petty 'payback' votes like this one have no place in Congress. nt

10. Now what are they gonna do?

Actual governing is not something they know shit about. I know, investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop’s involvement in Benghazi

26. Tax cuts for the rich - that's always at the top of their list.

11. Going to dig up which 5 Dems voted present for censure.

Unless, somebody already has that info.

12. Five Democrats, all on the House Ethics Committee, voted "present," Why I wonder???

Five Democrats, all on the House Ethics Committee, voted "present," as did Reps. George Santos (R-N.Y.) and Darrell Issa (R-Calif.)

Democrats

Ranking Member Susan Wild, Pennsylvania

Veronica Escobar, Texas

Mark DeSaulnier, California

Deborah K. Ross, North Carolina

Glenn F. Ivey, Maryland

13. Maybe it's traditional for the ethics committee not to vote yeah or nay and instead vote present?

15. Ethics committee votes present. Sort of a recusal

"Seven lawmakers voted present on the measure, including all five Democratic members of the House Ethics Committee and Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.). Democratic ethics panel members generally vote present on any ethics matters that come before the House."

It does look weird but is totally normal.

[forgotmylogin]

23. And they apparently also held their "present" votes until they knew it wasn't going to clear. n/t

Since they're the ones who deal with it, they're not pre-communicating any bias if possible. They would have voted if it were close I assume.

16. Santos just trying to keep his head down...

[erronis]

19. I'm sure Santos's head is down - somewhere where the sun don't shine.

Happy as a tapeworm.

22. Isn't that more "up" than down? nt

18. So, 195 Putin puppets.

I love the term Maga Republicans, it has a rhythm to it

[erronis]

21. Just don't use the word "MAGA" when being the Press Secretary for the POTUS.

Apparently the little worms don't like being called by their own names in public.

24. Now do McCarthy.......

I bet you'll have no trouble finding half a dozen rethugs to join the Democrats
