'To have the leader of the free world talk as if we’re an autocracy alarmed a lot of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle,’ said Sen. Joe Manchin.

“For the president to even address the subject of maybe not knowing if he would accept or not is beyond all of our comprehension that that could ever happen in America,” Manchinin a speech introducing the resolution.

“To have the leader of the free world talk as if we’re an autocracy… is something that alarmed me and alarmed a lot of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, as quiet as some may be I know they’re alarmed.”While the resolution serves as a symbolic gesture, some commentators took note of the fact that it lacks any statutory power to prevent a situation in which Trump refuses to accept the result.

I read it and President Trump did not say he would absolutely not adhere to the transfer of power. He didn't want to commit because he wants to make sure the election was fair and on the up and up. I don't blame him. Again, his words are being twisted to make him look bad.

Since its Trump, LETS DO IT THE HARD WAY, PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!!

Maybe they should ask for international observers?

What was the need for that?

Senate Resolution Honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fails Over Inclusion Of Her Dying Wish‘I think Justice Ginsburg would easily see through the legal sophistry,’ Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said of Republican Ted Cruz’s objection. We don’t need the senate to honor RBG. Women can honor her for what she has given us. It’s up to us to keep our rights and to go forward. Our girls needs us to not let men drag us backwards or women who don’t appreciate our rights as equal to men. Has anyone actually “heard” her “dying wish”? So now we are going to run our country by including the “dying wishes” of people—or is it only the dying wishes of those who fit the description of “enlightened” by the DNC and leftist media (one & the same—including Forbes) Way to go Ted Cruz. Schumer is a disgrace to the nation in his every move and statement.

Senate resolution to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg blocked after partisan fighting over languageThe US Senate failed to agree on language for a resolution honoring the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a sign of how divided the chamber is over the Supreme Court vacancy. This will all be straightened out soon. It is absolutely ridiculous that America's leaders cannot even agree on how to honor RBG. Both parties are a disgrace. No adult members permitted, thy name is the U.S. Senate.

House passes spending bill to avoid government shutdown, sends it to SenateCongress needs to pass spending legislation before Sept. 30 to avoid a government shutdown. So so sooooo easy for the government to make sure THEY get paid. But who cares about the millions around the country impacted by Covid. This has nothing to do with the Stimulus check. It's pretty much Pelosi approving more GOP spending. How much pork is in this bill?
