After three weeks in the Capitol, the Senate has not turned into the coronavirus hot spot that some feared.
But the Senate is conducting its business — grinding through nominations, conducting oversight and passing legislation, including to renew federal surveillance authorities. Sen. Bill Cassidy , a physician, retorted: “To the degree that no one’s gotten ill, we’re safely opening. We cannot stay locked down for 18 months.”To Republicans, the confirmation of a new director of national intelligence, several lifetime judicial appointments and a smattering of coronavirus hearings has been worthwhile. They did not approve new coronavirus-related legislation, though they say that day is coming.
“Given the risks they run, that someone could get sick from this? I think it’s not a smart move on the Republicans’ part,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren .
Trump has cause so much hatred of the Dems that it has torn this country apart. If you are a Rep. you are expected to support anything Trump wants. If you don't you will get Trumps wrath. That is a sign of a dictator. Not a President of the US.
Instead of moving on and thanking God, they continue to act like children. 🙄
Mfjean0213 It may be because they are strictly complying with guidelines to try to prove a point (mostly to save themselves), unlike many lay citizens who refuse to comply, respect, or even understand. And I’m not sure they should conclude their study just yet.
Two Snakes, I smell something stink
Small pathetic little party. Republicans deserve to be voted out this November!
The fk are they using so much hand lotion?
Wait for the numbers to be adjusted! They just trying to destroy economy
Круто!
The House has a lot more than 100 members and it isn’t led by a guy calling himself the Grim Reaper.
What a trash response. As if they don't know that the concentration of people/required support staff (even skeleton) for 435 House members is *completely different* than it is for 100 Senators, or that, right now, DC is one of the urban hotspots for COVID-19. But mock them. Ok.
With rare exceptions the virus only attacks humans
I’m glad they’re as comfortable gambling with their own miserable lives as they are gambling with ours
Mitch should absolutely not do a tour of nursing homes in NY with that attitude. I can't imagine being this hateful and divisive during a crisis.
Asshats
They can’t seem to figure out that if precautions are taken the risk is minimized.
They got lucky seeing as Rand Paul tested positive. Of course it could be that Senators don't actually like people and are inherently socially distant!
This is awesome. Those snowflakes will get toasted in Nov
First off, if you’re using hand lotion to kill viruses, you’re stupid. It’s hand SANITIZER you use. And 2nd, you’re operating with social distancing and masks and skeletal crews. But contort it however you want. You have been for years.
Did tedcruz use lotion when he jacked off to incest porn on 9/11?
Let's hope their hubris catches up with them
Think of it this way, GOP senators......it gives you something to do while you do nothing to address the pain of millions of Americans who are far less fortunate than you.
What has the senate actually *done* in the last three weeks?
These are not leaders. Simple as that.
These guys are yucking it up while 100k americans die.
Gotta love (?) that GOP ahole mentality....
Good its working then
Probably using the hand lotion 2 play with themselves, as we've certainly not seen much activity in promised infrastructure development, educational reform, Medicare, voting process efficiency, drug addiction intervention, etc nytimes latimes dbcurren Nouriel HuffPost WSJ
Yep because mocking a fucking pandemic that continues to kill people in this country is something to joke about Republicans. What do we think the death toll should be before Republicans think it’s a health crisis?
Good for the country to show strength and all the judges the republicans are approving will be in place for a very long time!!!!!
How mature. WHERE are the adults? I have zero respect for this
I wonder how high the stack of legislation passed by the house is in senatemajldr office right now?
Why do they feel the need to make people expose themselves though
Fuck them they are willing to destroy our Country for a Mad Man
Republicans: Not many people have died, we were right! Nah nah nah nah nah. Democrats: almost 100,000 have died due to the anemic response of this administration. You're proud of that?
Certainly a zero chance percent chance of that backfiring
Notice how they’re wearing their masks!
Look to the ubiquitous construction, landscaping, and in home childcare sectors that never shut down and refuse to take safety measures including masks or distancing. Undocumented workers in these sectors unlikely to report illness unless hospitalized.
I don't see the point of the article. Are republicans daring the virus to hit to prove some weird point?
435 House Reps, more than 4 times as many members than the Senate. A lot more dangerous for them to meet than the Senate. I notice Republicans aren't mocking the conservative controlled SCOTUS for hearing cases remotely.
Forget Republicans vs Democrats! The global trend is that humanity as a whole, we are close to nuclear annihilation! Pandemic has shown our true character! We can’t get ALONG!
Firstly it should not happen in the first place given that they were regularly having tests , and it show’s that more is needed to protect all Americans who cannot be tested daily
I have never heard anything good about Trump and I doubt that I ever will. Trump is a mean-spirited, punitive, bully person. I doubt that you will ever hear any “good stories” about him that are true.
This headline is fantastic innuendo.
All it takes is 1 person.
Look it's probably not going to happen because of dirty tricks but the GOP deserves to be destroyed. This obviously includes the current presidency
Something tells me they were already going through a lot of hand lotion.😃😃
Couldn’t think, phew we dodged that bullet? Really learning to despise the GOP.
I’ve heard DC is a hotspot.
