Josh Hawley just came out in support of Sanders. He's starting his 2024 campaign today.

He's going to label Biden an illegal President. He'll have a populist platform. And he'll get Trump's followers with ease.

1. I'd better not comment on this....

[DURHAM D]

2. Would love to know what Trump thinks about Hawley. nt

[George II]

3. This is sarcasm, right?

[joshcryer]

4. Nope. Josh Hawley came out in support of Sanders.

The Senate gally gasped audibly. He said he'd vote for both bills.

10. Let me finish that for you. In support of Sanders $2k covid relief bill Bernie has been pounding

Mitch and the Senate Republicans on.

11. Why didn't he proffer a motion to proceed to consider days ago?

He used Sanders, as right wingers are known to do. It's all rhetoric. And it's vile. Sanders fought this alone, full stop.

[Autumn]

14. No. Sanders used him, just like he used Trump to bring attention to the needs of the people.

And Mitch McConnell hypocrisy. If anyone else did it and had been joined by a fucking republican you would be proclaiming their brilliance. Full stop.

5. The repug rift widens

Hoping it bodes ill for all factions.

6. Watching C-Span, so far the Defense Bill cloture vote is 59-9, sure to get 60 votes.....

So all that was accomplished is that military raises, some military pay, and other provisions of the bill were delayed a few days.

[Autumn]

7. In support of the bill? Because there's a big difference

[joshcryer]

8. Yep, apparently he co-sponsered it with Sanders:

Which I didn't know at the time of posting. The Senate gasped audibly after he gave his speech.

9. Sounds good to me. Mitch's is losing hold of his rats. Thanks to Bernie

I hear from Biden reaching across the aisle is a good thing.

[joshcryer]

12. Sanders took to the floor for days in a row...

...whilst Josh Hawley sat in the sidelines "sponsering" this bill. It's the same populist rhetoric you'd expect from someone so conniving. Sanders went into this alone.

[Autumn]

13. Some folks have been saying nothing will get done without bipartisanship. So this must be that.

If Joe Manchin had done this instead of Bernie the claps on the back would have put him in a cast.
