tldr: More timely market manipulation (conveniently released alarmist faux journalism introduced onto newswire as US indices reach VWAP)

    5 democrats voted against reining in this current attack. And 3 republicans voted for it. But sure, they’re both the same 🙄

      5 democrats voted against reining in this current attack.

      Just enough defections to guarantee the resolution fails. Cuellar is, incidentally, the highest ranking Dem on the House Appropriations Committee, a job Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries allows him to keep despite needing Trump’s Presidential pardon to stay out of jail.

      Vargas is, similarly, a steaming pile of shit who squats on one of the bluest districts in the country.

      You can go down the list. These are all enabled by national leadership and state level corporate money. They’re symptoms of a corrupt and diseased partisan system.

      Funny how there’s always just enough Democrats crossing the aisle to gain the desired outcome but never more. It’s almost as if the distinction between parties is political theater since neither side is ever allowed to be held accountable for not living up to their rhetoric.
