Democrats Vote Against Paying the Troops Currently Defending the Country Without Pay; The Two Vulnerable Georgia Democrat Senators Peel Off From the Party, Vote In Favor of Paying Troops

I still have trouble understanding how Georgia ended up with not one but two far-left lunatics as Senators.

I know that idiot football player cost us one seat. I forget how the other one happened.

They know they are very vulnerable to a GOP challenger so they've decided to pretend to care about the troops.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.), the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent in the Senate, and his home-state colleague, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), voted Thursday for a Republican bill to pay essential federal workers, including members of the military, during the government shutdown.
Ossoff and Warnock joined Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) in voting for the Republican bill. The measure failed to advance on a 54-45 vote. It needed 60 votes to move forward.
Ossoff's and Warnock's votes are notable because they have voted 12 times against a House-passed bill to reopen the government and fund it through Nov. 21.
They have, however, voted repeatedly for a Democratic alternative to fund the government through Oct. 31, permanently extend enhanced health insurance premiums and restore nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts.
Ossoff told reporters after the vote that "military service members, TSA workers, air traffic controllers, other federal workers have no choice but to come to work, and they should be paid for that work."

Ossoff voted for the Shutdown Fairness Act, sponsored by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), despite Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) calling it a "a ruse."
Schumer warned it would give too much power to the Trump White House to determine which federal workers get paid and which remain furloughed.
...
Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Angus King (Maine), an independent who caucuses with Democrats, voted against the proposal to pay essential federal workers, even though they have voted repeatedly with Fetterman for the House GOP-drafted "clean" continuing resolution to reopen the government.

Earlier this week, the Democrat Whip Katherine Clark -- I never heard of her before either, so you're good -- went off-script and admitted the Democrat strategy is to make people "suffer" to increase the Democrats' "leverage."

A top House Republican is criticizing one of Democrats' senior leaders for saying the government shutdown and its effects are a "leverage point" to accomplish their goals on healthcare.
"It's appalling to see the number two House Democrat openly admit that the left is weaponizing hardworking Americans as 'leverage' for political gain, even acknowledging families will suffer in the process," Republican Study Committee Chair August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital.
"This isn't governance -- it's calculated hostage-taking, with struggling families caught in the balance as Democrats attempt to force through their radical agenda. Families are seen only as leverage by Democrats. We always knew it, now they're saying it out loud. Absolutely shameful."
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., sat down for an interview with Fox News' Chad Pergram last week. At one point, Clark was asked about who Americans would find responsible for the ongoing shutdown.

"I mean, shutdowns are terrible and, of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage times we have," Clark responded.

Can you guess what she looks like?

Of course you can!

16 More will abandon chuck schumer and the insane liberal wing of the democrat party to vote for the CR. I expect by this time next week there will be enough votes to extend the CR. Problem is, they will need another vote within a week or two of that because the current clean CR only runs through November 21.

Ace, I'll tell you how it happened.

Herschel Walker should have won that seat without any problems - even with the controversy regarding remarks from his gay son and his football past. This is GA we're talking about - he's a hero there. What happened was that the *chair of the GA GOP* (IIRC) said that he was voting for Warnock. It had come out that Warnock was a *slumlord* and all the headlines were about that GOP idiot. Ossoff was even worse. Purdue was a terrible candidate for someone with tons of experience for one. The other was that when Trump wanted to give $2000 of relief to folks that were affected by COVID - after business got billions - Mitch said no way. Yes, it was a blatant election ploy, but it was for *control of the Senate* - and Mitch said no anyway. At that point, all the Republicans stayed home for the special election, and that was that.

They were both thanks to the dumbass in the White House. Since Herschel was his guy, it’s really three elections he’s helped lose in Georgia, not two.

Oh, he’s doing great things, but it was 100% him and his 2020-22 “stolen election” antics which turned the runoff into losses. Not that the Republic lost great statesmen for all time in the defeated Loeffler and Perdue. But Georgia is somewhat pragmatic, and well, they didn’t play that.

71 Federal News Network: Senate Democrats push alternative on federal shutdown pay, as GOP bill heads toward a vote, Oct. 22

In part, "Senate Majority Leader John Thune placed the GOP-led Shutdown Fairness Act on the Senate’s calendar, towards a possible Senate vote..."

“I don’t like the bill because it gives the president the ability to decide who’s essential and who’s not, and what we see is he is using this in a political way,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) told reporters Wednesday. “[President Donald Trump] would use this discretionary power to punish some and reward others.”

(Note: It has always been agency discretion as who, and for whom, works as an essential employee during furloughs. Always. Sen. Tim Kaine makes the skin of many crawl.)

"Democrats are assembling a counterproposal to the legislation, which would provide immediate pay for furloughed employees — as well as pay for excepted employees. The effort is led by Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.), but it’s so far unclear if the proposal will come as an amendment or a standalone bill."

Van Hollen and Peters. Now that's a duo that nothing good could ever come from.

89 She has a helpful/hopeful look that is absolutely terrifying.
------

If we had an actual functioning press, people like her would have their campaigns ended in about 10 minutes with 5 questions:

1) What makes your campaign special and different, and what this country needs?

2) That sounds ambitious...but really vague...can you share some details with us?

3) Ok, so perhaps that's one thing--what else do believe you bring to the table?

4) How does that quality differ from anyone else who might already be in office, or who might be campaigning for the same position?

5) Why do you believe anything you're asserting hasn't been tried before?

Any honest video presentation of those questions (or something similar) would sort the wheat from the chaffe.

But we haven't had an honest media in quite some time.

Tim is right! Only virtuous Democrats can correctly determine who the wicked and the good are, not Evil TrumpHitler! Only Democrats are sufficiently pure of thought and selflessly righteous enough to determine who should be politically punished and rewarded!

Again the US was built on private militias and navies. Capitalist JP Morgan saved the country by financing it once.

A couple of years ago, I began to read Golden Retriever Mysteries: In Dog We Trust since I like mysteries and I like dogs. Not too far in, the author launches into an anti Trump rant so I gave it up. A couple of weeks ago, I decided I would finish the book just powering through the BS. Shortly after, the protagonist attends the victim's funeral and gets caught behind a car with Christian bumper stickers. He launches into a monologue about how he'd Iike to crash into the car just to prove that Jesus would not save them. All this had nothing to do with the plot or mystery. He just had to show us how smart he is.

No. The comparisons are apt because they follow. I wish to fuck they did not.

You do not want your troops in a democracy/republic being more loyal to an individual than the country (and pay has a tendency to do that.)

Now, you can make the argument that we are willing to take the risk in order to ensure the troops loyalty, but that is also a Roman comparison (Caesar looting the treasury to pay his troops after Pompey and the Senate abandoned the city.)

I had not applied to vote by mail nor had I done so. My vote was stolen! If my vote was stolen in a sleepy rural voting district in south Georgia, how many more were! Neither Warnock nor Ossoff were elected legitimately. Don’t bother going on about the qualifications of the Republican candidates or their lack thereof. The Left cheated, again! And the Rinos in higher state office winked and laughed!
