We have seen this movie before as 9 Republicans side with democrats to torpedo the Trump agenda

[1srelluc]

I knew damn well that whole Covid remote voting thing would come popping back up in another form.

 

[The Duke]

Oh, I am not worried since I happen to be one. Maybe you should stay quiet when the Dems take a strong lead in the midterms and vote to impeach the Orange Cheeto one more time.

Go away, loser. Don't go away mad, just go away.
MAGA is going to intensify.

YO Dingle Berry , the title of the thread and its contents don't match .

Disagrement with a PROCEDURAL VOTE does not mean rejecting the Trump AGenda.

You're right and it was Johnson's agenda, but don't expect muck of votto.

House cancels rest of votes for week after GOP floor rebellion

House Republican leaders on Tuesday canceled votes for the rest of the week after a band of GOP lawmakers staged a rebellion on the floor, bringing legislative action to a screeching halt.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) informed lawmakers the next vote in the House would be Monday evening.

The announcement came minutes after nine Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing a procedural rule that would have killed a bipartisan effort to allow proxy voting for new parents. The vote also blocked planned votes on GOP priorities to limit the power of federal judges and to require proof of citizenship to vote.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) successfully used an arcane and rarely successful discharge petition procedure to force a vote on Rep. Brittany Pettersen’s (D-Colo.) resolution to allow members who give birth or lawmakers whose spouses give birth to have another member vote for them for 12 weeks.

But amid opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — who has argued that proxy voting is unconstitutional — the leadership-controlled House Rules Committee inserted language into a procedural rule to kill Luna’s effort.

That hardball tactic, however, failed Tuesday when nine Republicans voted with Democrats to torpedo the procedural vote, bringing key legislative action on the floor to a halt. Without adopting a rule, the House is unable to debate and vote on big-ticket legislative items.

“It’s a very disappointing result on the floor there, a handful of Republicans joined with all Democrats to take down a rule,” Johnson said after the vote. “That’s rarely done.”

There are ALWAYS just enough Republicans to side with the Marxist DNC to stop any initiative that the DNC does not like.

Reminds me of John McCain who ran to secure the border and repeal and replace Obamacare, then changed his mind out of the blue when Trump was elected.

There is no real difference between the DNC and GOP, is there.

Proxy voting was allowed for the first time history because of the pandemic. The pandemic is over. Nothing to do with babies. Get back to work.

 

[80zephyr]

You're against members of COngress with babies from voting by Proxy? Thats all this is about.

Is it legal?

 

[bendog]

Congress, and not the judges or the potuses, decide how congress votes. That's the const. Today the gop is shitting on what the dems left of reconcilliation. I'm supposed to care more about parents of new young humans voting? If I believed in coincidences .....

I think that there are agendas they should be moving faster on. We know Progs would be much faster in their agendas. And the takedown of their opponents there would be a book filled with names already.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

It will now all have to wait until next week.

 

[Doc7505]

They can afford a sitter/nanny/au pair.

~~~~~~
Congress persons get more holidays and time off than the average working American citizen. As it is they seldom work a full week in D.C.
Why do they need proxy votes?

LOL. The progs. lol Trump < progs. Great take.

So, Obamacare was blue dog?

Obama is a blue dog?

Racist much?



The Leftist loons were just fine with Obamacare as I recall, because they knew it was one last step towards universal care as it was all designed to fail

No the blue dogs sided with Republicans to stop real healthcare reform. Instead we were forced to go with Mitt Romney's MA solution and the healthcare giants got a seat at the table.

Blue dogs are Democrats who sold out. Just like these Republicans who won't go along with Republicans now. Too extreme. If they thought their voters liked what Trump was doing they'd be going along.

Trump can do whatever he wants so long as voters are okay with it. If they are okay with what's going on, so will Mike Johnson be

Did Republicans get some bad news yesterday in those elections? They must have.

 

[leftwinger]

1.) They have on site free daycare. Allegedly. Votes don't take long.

2.) Lil' dickkyJohnson did it on purpose to sabotage MAGA. He could have called other bills first like defending dirty DC judges.

 

[Invisibleflash]

This reminds me of when Blue Dog Democrats sabotaged Obama and Obamacare.

So basically those Republicans can tell they will lose their jobs if they continue to go along with Trump. That's why most Republicans go along with Trump. Now these 9 are seeing things are changing. They are representing their constituents. You don't like it? Checks and balances baby!

Bub...the people running things are lying pos...dems or reps. All the old dinosaurs that knew how to run things and / or had a smidgeon of ethics and honesty are dead. We are just winging it with con men and thieves.

Just a small skirmish over voting issues. This could have been avoided had Republicans not asked others to do their voting for them. What can any Republican do if they want to vote Yes but the proxy votes no?

 

[bendog]

It's ONLY about proxy voting for new parents. Whether you're for or against

Just a small skirmish over voting issues. This could have been avoided had Republicans not asked others to do their voting for them. What can any Republican do if they want to vote Yes but the proxy votes no?

This person is designated as a proxy and will cast a proxy vote in line with the shareholder's directions as written on their proxy card. Proxy votes may be cast by mail, phone, or online before the cutoff time. This is typically 24 hours before the shareholder meeting. Responses may include "For," "Against," "Abstain," or "Not Voted."

Hidden in the weeds is a few entire full workdays lost on nonsense. Intentional sabotage to slow walk President Trump agenda. //

 

[BluesLegend]

Nope. The RINO'S are full fledged agents of the democrat party, and supporters of the globalist agenda.

They need to be voted out of power.

RINO's have been screwing over the American people for decades the scum! Note how many of these RINO's got super rich on congressional salaries. McConnel wow, just wow. He doesn't want Musk or DOGE anywhere near his corruption.

 

[Frankenstein]

Trumps agenda should be stopped.

Why it's exposing Government fraud and Politicians abusing their station to get rich
