    Actually, that would be giving Biden insane new powers, would it not? He’s still President if I’m not mistaken

      What the fuck do you think happens to the powers on January 20th?

        If the Senate passes the bill, and if Biden signs (some big ifs) then Trump would have those powers. But, if those “ifs” don’t happen the bill is dead and the next Congress will have to vote again.

          Ok, cool story. What is your point? They voted for a bill, whether other people stop it is irrelevant to their personal responsibility for voting to give Trump a tool of oppression.

            Members of Congress trade their votes all the time. Hardly something that’s new.

              This is a very dumb read based on literally no evidence for the actions of this list of reliable quislings.

                Whatever. Just stating facts. If they’re not liked it means little difference to me.
