They were one of the three House Republicans that voted for the Pro Act, the vast minority position among the party, which at least makes it interesting that they were picked, who knows how they will actually operate though
Ooh, not at all :) We Spaniards still remember the Vertical Trade Union.
Not if said union and Republican are pro-bribes too.
More like not when the union is a police union.
Another reason is that unions have been getting increasing support from the general population, reversing decades of declining support.
Wtf is with them using the word "taps". Not blaming you OP, it's clearly in the article's title. But I see it over and over and over again.
Not isolated, every time the stock market loses 2% is "plummets" or "plunges". Every time a fighter jet is sent to intercept something, it's "scrambled."
Like they all use the same lexicon.
As far as I'm aware, "taps" is a sports reference. As in, to tap somebody in.
Your other complaints aren't related.
I thought it referred to the colloquialism "a tap on the shoulder," but I looked that up on DDG and apparently it means "a request to resign." That's the opposite of what I inferred.
Suddenly, a John Scalzi book I recently read and which overused the phrase makes a lot more sense.
needs a few for scripted, 'you're fired' episodes.
