Мы все сейчас в России?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Мы все сейчас в России?

Unread post by billy.pilgrim »

Hard as hell to find out who didn't vote in the historic bipartisan 98 to 0 vote last week. I tried all kinds of Google searches of articles from our 4th branch of government, but was unable to find a single word about the two who didn't vote. No speculation, nothing about an able bodied senator hiding in his office, nothing about this non-voter having just returned from Russia where he shared his love for their government when he said, (watch out trump - he beat you to it) "we are competitors".


Without help from the media, we all know why McCain didn't vote, but who was the other non-vote?

Eventually I came across an article with the Senate Resolution number and went to the government site showing the vote. Among the long list of Yes votes were two non-votes, Senator John McCain and Senator Richard "we are competitors" Shelby.

Shirley with his name I will find an actual something about this. I did. I found one single, by itself, lonesome article from Salon; that's it, no more, nothing. I tried a really broad search - Shelby Russia vote - that's it, and I got one article about Shelby and ten thousand on the unanimous 98 to 0 resolution and all of Shelby's other resolutions.

Ain't it strange that when one republican goes about face the others follow so quickly.

On our newest friendly competitors,
Was Donald following
Or was Dickie softening the waters?
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Nothing on Shelby's website explaining his nonvote that I can find.

Россия здесь, более так в Алабаме, чем большинство мест.

Bad link, you left the 'n' off of Vlad's name. In other words, he was "puti" in your hands. :wave:

Here:

Richard Shelby, curious Russia ally: Only two senators didn’t vote to protect US citizens from Putin
Senate Republicans joined with Democrats to stop Trump from handing former US ambassador Michael McFaul to Russia

NC's Leg. roll calls ID whether an absence is "excused" or just a nonvote. I guess the US Senate doesn't do that. S. Res. 584 just says, "Not Voting - 2: McCain (R-AZ), Shelby (R-AL)".

Shelby seems to be full on trumpscript with this new "competitor" relationship with Russia.

Unless he tells us otherwise, it's perfectly fair to assume that he abstained because he just couldn't oppose Putin and his Agent Orange even on this slam dunk resolution.

Очень молодой, как Рой Мур знает.
