Bernie has no leverage, so the vote will fail. which is Jimmy’s point, but leave it to the galaxy brain rad libs on this site to misrepresent the point.
:surprised-pika:
:lord-bezos-amused:
The timing isn’t that exact, the NDAA passed on December 11. 2019, and while Pelosi didn’t vote on it herself, with her position and house majority leader, no bill makes it to the floor of the house without her approval. Pelosi’s power also comes from the money she distributes to democratic house members, giving her control over their vote, it would be fair to say that Pelosi “allowed the bill to pass”.
What she did do that day was stand and applaud when Trump talked about Juan Guaido, showing her commitment to the US’s imperialist foreign policy.
So we’re just preparing for blade runner 2049 to become our reality huh?
Fuck that absolute piece of dog shit.
