George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽They don't want to be on the record as voting to support the war. So they avoid the vote taking altogether.

Seriously????
CavyherdNew Constitutional Amendment (maybe include it in the one that does away with the Electoral College): Quorum = the sum total of Whoever Shows Up.
jmht@georgetakei True to form for Johnson's crowd.

thriftwicker@georgetakei Fucking gutless wonders. The damage has already been done. You are complicit. Fuck off and take your medicine.
MightyBigCar@georgetakei time to change their party mascot to a fleeing chicken, and the nickname to COP (Chicken Out Party) 🐔
EndicottRoad59@georgetakei Republican not only are unable to govern, they refuse to do so.
Nomdeb@georgetakei which is a statement in and of itself. Because the end result is the war continues because of Republicans. #USPol #IranWar
(^^)@georgetakei And the people continue to accept this bullshit. At some point, it's on us. Everyone go out and read The People's History of the United States. You have to do more than vote every few years. Sorry.

it's not a joke,
this is how #Autocracy & #Fascism actually work,
using #Democracy to undermine #Democracy
it happened before and now again
another evidence United States of America has been a #democracy.
Metafrastis@wobweger @georgetakei The US have never been a democracy. Democracy is government by the people for the people. The United States has always been government by the rich and powerful for the rich and powerful. That’s a plutocracy (or oligarchy) - and whenever Republicans have been at the helm in the last decades it has been an outright kakistocracy (government by the worst). #usa #democracy
WesDym@dgavin Unless you have something constructive to say, please keep your unhelpful babble to yourself. Literally anyone can throw their hands up in despair and tell everyone else that it's hopeless and to give up, no matter how eloquently.
Congratulations on knowing a lot of big words and (more or less) what they (most commonly) mean.
@wesdym Please stfu, it‘s not my fault you can‘t cope with the reality of the worlds biggest shithole country.
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@georgetakei All that's left is for the junta to take control of tax assessment and collection.

obscurestar@TheTannhauserGate @georgetakei They have none. Only cowardice greed and narcissism.

Johnson: When the going gets tough, Johnson sends everyone home.
SOP, he's done it before.

That is how they roll.

Toni Aittoniemi@georgetakei Looooooooooooosers!!
Rob van Kan🔻@georgetakei Republicans putting the mock in democracy
ocdtrekkie@georgetakei This is relatively dishonest framing of what happened here. "Pro forma" sessions are something generally agreed as including no business, and passing no votes. Generally they, by unanimous consent of the almost nobody showing up agree to recess.
Our party trying to pass a resolution by unanimous consent was abnormal. Everything about the Trump administration is also abnormal and bad, but ending a pro forma session without making any decisions was quite normal!
@georgetakei Generally having taken a course on Constitutional Law is an absolute curse during the time of Trump, but for anyone who comes across my comment, this is a good explainer of what a pro forma session is, and why it would not have any votes to stop Trump, even if a Democrat was running it: https://legalclarity.org/what-is-a-pro-forma-session-and-how-does-it-work/
xs4me2The US political system is broken…
M BerberichNew appreviation needed:
TACO: Trump always chicken out
RACO: Republicans always chicken out.
Haji Mokhtar Stork@georgetakei From my observation, it is 'a never ending battle' between both these parties. The funny thing, most do not seem to be conscious of it, but insist on going along with either side. Am I wrong about this? #uspolitics
B05H@georgetakei the guillotines are getting hungry
@georgetakei Cowards. They asked for one of the hardest, most challenging jobs in the world, and don't have half the guts it takes to actually DO it. They deserve no respect at all. I've personally know braver CHILDREN.
William B Peckham@georgetakei I find it astonishing. What are they so terrified of? What is it they think Trump is going to do to them? And how is it they are almost universally such abject cowards?
