Perhaps you could elucidate those priorities, since you're bringing it up?

That would seem to tell us what they are NOT, rather than what they are ... Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #1
I don't want a hide. I will say... BlueLucy Aug 2021 #2
It passed by one vote, which I suspect was quite purposeful ... Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #7
Thanks. elleng Aug 2021 #9
So are you saying.. BlueLucy Aug 2021 #18
No, I'm saying they knew what the vote count would be in advance Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #33
Correct. The OP is about this one: George II Aug 2021 #53
The initial house vote in May was the vote that passed the House by one vote. lapucelle Aug 2021 #88
Thank You Tommymac Aug 2021 #82
I think that was a different vote, I think the one in the OP is #250: George II Aug 2021 #52
They knew it would pass so it was a symbolic vote questionseverything Aug 2021 #11
I'm not at all in agreement with those 9 moderates either. BlueLucy Aug 2021 #13
Symbolic for what? BlueLucy Aug 2021 #14
Because they wanted time to read the bill questionseverything Aug 2021 #20
The bill is 4,840 words, about 10-15 minutes of reading. Floor votes take about an hour these days. George II Aug 2021 #57
There is a provision in the bill that requires Capitol Police officers use body-worn cameras. lapucelle Aug 2021 #81
Senate bill presented to the house 7-29 @ 3:18 pm questionseverything Aug 2021 #85
The only difference in the May House version and the July Senate version returned for the House vote lapucelle Aug 2021 #90
How would a person know that w/o reading? questionseverything Aug 2021 #91
The same way I did, by looking at it. And I don't have a staff helping me and the advantage lapucelle Aug 2021 #96
Why don't you post the entire text of the bill so we all can see how quickly and easily it could be questionseverything Aug 2021 #97
I posted a link to the bill. Anyone can read it on the .gov site. lapucelle Aug 2021 #101
An amendment shouldn't be introduced and voted on within 57 minutes questionseverything Aug 2021 #102
Every Democrat and Independent in the Senate voted "yes" to the amendment. lapucelle Aug 2021 #105

Post 35? This post 35? With this link? lapucelle Aug 2021 #108

Some of the explanation from Omar from the earlier House bill (before the translator $ was added) Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #30
NOT the time to be pulling that bullshit Skittles Aug 2021 #44
I'm not a huge 'Squad Fan' to begin with ... not against them but I think they aren't always prudent Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #45
I do not buy this explanation LetMyPeopleVote Aug 2021 #47
I don't either.. Ouch there's a tweet on Cha Aug 2021 #94
symbolic vote indicating WHAT exactly Skittles Aug 2021 #16
See post 30, and post 33 :) nt Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #31
What are you Wagging your finger at? Cha Aug 2021 #93
You must examine what else was in that bill and if other bills provided for help to translators. joetheman Aug 2021 #59
Who within The Squad? elleng Aug 2021 #3
All of them. BlueLucy Aug 2021 #6
No, AOC and Rashida Talib voted 'present' not 'no', and the bill PASSED by one vote Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #8

Okay, my bad. Point remains the same ... symbolic votes are symbolic votes :) nt Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #22
I understand questionseverything Aug 2021 #25
Truth is always good!!! (nt) Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #27
Their priorities are... luv2fly Aug 2021 #4
whatever works for ya... stillcool Aug 2021 #5
What does "replenish the resources for the Capitol Police" mean? I know back in March they WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #15
The "funny " part is no one knew at the time they voted questionseverything Aug 2021 #24
they also voted to expand the visa program for refugees from Afghanistan fishwax Aug 2021 #19
We're dealing with a country of 330 million people and some people's lives.... George II Aug 2021 #55
their nay votes had no sonsequence on those 330 million or any lives fishwax Aug 2021 #61
The record isn't distorted. They voted against it along with 5 republicans. All others who voted... George II Aug 2021 #62
the claim that they don't care about Afghan refugees is a distortion fishwax Aug 2021 #63
Their vote indicated the way they felt about the bill. 213 Democrats voted for it. George II Aug 2021 #65
of course it did, but the bill was about more than this single issue fishwax Aug 2021 #68
I direct my "ire" toward those who engage in, as you put it, "games of Divide the Democrats"... George II Aug 2021 #71
keep attacking and dividing all you want, George II -- as I said, I can't stop you fishwax Aug 2021 #73
Keep attacking me all you want, I support the policies of my President and my Democratic Party. George II Aug 2021 #74
As do I fishwax Aug 2021 #75
So then why are you going after me? George II Aug 2021 #77
I'm just pointing out that I don't think attacking democrats is good for the democratic cause fishwax Aug 2021 #78
Perhaps you should be addressing your displeasure to other Democrats who are attacking Democrats.... George II Aug 2021 #79
That doesn't make any sense fishwax Aug 2021 #80
It was prompted by them voting against the position of President Biden and the Democratic Party.... George II Aug 2021 #84
K & R They proudly stood their ground & now they proudly own their vote. Budi Aug 2021 #23
It's a bill meant to support the Capitol Police. It should do just that... Lancero Aug 2021 #26
A lot of times that is the only way to get things passed. BlueLucy Aug 2021 #28
Agree! (nt) Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #29

Because they should have voted for it. marie999 Aug 2021 #104
Correct. Here is the source question everything Aug 2021 #35
Still totally symbolic and their issue was NOT with the Afghani Visas, so the OP premise is untrue Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #36
They disagreed with the bill, that's why they voted "Nay". All other Democrats voted "Yea". George II Aug 2021 #64

Nice divisive post !!! alittlelark Aug 2021 #42
What do you mean by "Obscure law making"? 416 Representatives didn't feel it was obscure. George II Aug 2021 #54

I think people are mixing up two votes. The vote was #250: George II Aug 2021 #51
And why would they vote against treestar Aug 2021 #58
They have their own private security. George II Aug 2021 #60
That was Cori Bush ... Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #66
AOC does too, and possibly others, but they're less visible (I'm not poring over their FEC filings) George II Aug 2021 #67
This was not the police force, after 1/6, to take that stand against treestar Aug 2021 #112
