    Of course they had to do this or Trump would sic his cult on any Republican who voted against it. How would these Republicans be able to stay in government and milk the public for cushy lifestyles? I mean my god some of them slightly missed beach vacations for this, they work so hard!

      There are a LOT of republicans against this bill too. It’s only the wealthy 1% that aren’t effected by the anti-environment policies that are for it.

        Only enough to get 3 out of 53 Republican Senators to vote against it. That’s a few percent. Not enough to stop it, which is what matters

          There are always one less than what would be needed for the bill to fail/pass. They discuss it and say we can have 3 no votes. You, you and you can vote no this time to show that we are not all the same.

          I mean their constituents. Some republicans don’t have to ever worry about being reelected since their area is so gerrymandered.
