Leopards Ate My Face

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Yes, remember when you gave me the information to look up the Senate? How would I know to fact check a link you didn't send

Wrong link, but I specifically called out the house.

Which I just put elsewhere: 217 Republican votes. (Impossible block, even if the Democrats all hated it which clearly they didn't)

It needed 218 to pass with a majority.

There are currently 4 vacancies in Congress, half a point a piece per vacancy means 216 to pass, granted it may have been 217 at the time, may have only been 3 out. Hence why they had 217 votes.

Edit: It may have been 3 at the time, either way 216.5 votes

And those vacancies are also the fault of the DNC and their gerontocracy. Party leadership knew Gerry Connolly was dying, and still pushed his appointment to the house oversight committee.
