Tuberville and Paul voted "no" on Blinken nom. Neither was wearing a mask.

I think those were the only two.... so far.

1. Both those dicks deserve to get a serious case of COVID-TRUMP 19 Virus. (nm)

3. +++

2. Explains why no one wanted to talk to a Paul.

78 to 21. Graham and McConnell voted yes. The usual voted no.

6. Tuberville approached Merkley and Menendez. They both stepped back.

[Sneederbunk]

4. Turdville will be one of those first termers who get all the press.

Think Cruz and Kennedy.

[Under The Radar]

7. Tuberbille doesn't have the brains to sustain media attention

He is out of his element and could never speak intelligently on any subject of government. Media coverage will only expose that.
Tommy would rather do want he can to collect money for votes and leave the squabbling up to leadership

5. Isn't There Now A Rule About Mask Wearing On Federal Property?

[lamp_shade]

9. But are members of Congress considered "employees"? I don't know.

[Me.]

18. Don't Know Either

though they do get federal paycheck, I believe.

but there's also this part of the new rule and I wonder if this would require compliance.

“and all persons in Federal buildings or on Federal lands.“

8. Cruz voted no

10. Did you notice if he wearing a mask? I missed the first few minutes.

[Beachnutt]

13. I didn't notice as I was just listening at that point

[lark]

11. Why are they allowed on the floor without a mask?

Why doesn't Schumer call security on them and have them hauled off? If that's not part of the rules, he can make it so since Dems have majority.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I think we can count on them, plus Cruz and Hawley,

to vote against all of Biden's nominees, no matter who they are and how qualified they are, for no reason other than they are Biden's nominees. They'd vote against Jesus if Biden nominated him for something.

[mvd]

15. Yep, they'd say that Jesus is an imposter

To them, Jesus would never be nominated by Biden.

[roamer65]

14. Not surprising.

Not one bit.

[3catwoman3]

16. And Paul is damned doctor.

The med school he attended should revoke his diploma. The board that certified him can’t because he created his own board - didn’t like the national one. Jerk. Was he afraid he wouldn’t pass?

[Midnight Writer]

17. To me a maskless person getting in my space is an assault.

Do Stand Your Ground laws apply if they put you in reasonable fear for your life?

At my age, with my health, it feels like somebody pointing a gun at me.

I would love to see this tested in court.
