Burchett wanted it to be on record of them saying it was the Democrat leader

Thats exactly what im complaining about....

He did not actually want a vote to be called, he wanted the vote to be denied so he could get a sound bite and get on Twitter and get everyone riled up... and have people claim the democrats blocked it.

Why would democrats, or republicans for that matter want this vote to not have names tied to it?
I for one want to know which of my elected officials feel its appropriate to not be transparent with something like this.

Are we just ignoring the fact that they already have a vote set up for this very thing next week? Why would anyone in the house agree to a 2nd vote on the same subject that would be semi anonymous for the American people.

Stop being purposefully obtuse. You know what is happening and you know you are being disingenuous with how you are presenting this.

I hate this timeline. I want to be proud to be a Republican again, not whatever this is becoming.

Dems scream that they want the files, then they do this…

He wasnt really trying to get a vote to the floor. He was playing a little political theater.

He used a different type of voting mechanism that is used for noncontroversial things that get automatically voted yes by EVERYONE. These types of votes are decided ahead of time by leaders from both parties once they know EVERYONE will vote yes on them. Its used for things like making a minor change in a bill or accepting the minutes. Not whether to release the Epstein files.

He just skipped the part where he talked to the leadership of either party so he could do all this nonsense he is currently doing after the fact for whatever reason.

The Democrats didnt block his motion. His motion was automatically denied because he did not follow the proper parliamentary steps.

The request/motion was not agreed upon by the bipartisan floor and committee leadership.

Because he asked for a unanimous consent request:

In the House, a "unanimous consent" request is a procedure to bypass formal motions for non-controversial business, where a member asks for permission to do something, and if no other member objects, the request is granted. To be recognized by the Chair, the request must have been cleared by the majority and minority leadership and the relevant committee. A member can reserve the right to object to inquire about the request without blocking it, or an objection can halt the process.

Then this must happen:

Section 956 of the
House Rules and Manual concerns the Speaker's recognition of members for unanimous-consent requests, stipulating that the Speaker will only grant recognition for bills, resolutions, or other measures if bipartisan floor and committee leadership have indicated no objection. This guideline is a standing procedure recorded in the manual and is also related to the internal revenue code section of the same number, which addresses the "investment of earnings in United States property" by controlled foreign corporations.

He knew good and well what he was doing, he knew it would get automatically blocked so that he could then make this tweet claiming the democrats blocked it.

It's all political theater and we are just along for the ride.



TLDR:

2019 vs Auburn is a perfect example. You can be the best team on the planet, doesnt mean you can go and drop 45 on everyone. Some games call for different ways to win.

Guilty because of people like the Clintons. And the DEMs may have made up documents to indict Trump.

So his enemies put him into the files, then also decided to do nothing with this great hoax they created? That makes sense. They were just waiting for him to get into office so he could somehow trigger this democrat master-plan. That's obviously the best time to enact this hoax. When Republicans already control all branches of government, and Trump has full control over what happens with the investigation.

Somehow though, the Dems couldn't use their same trickery to remove all evidence of the other things that Trump is pushing over the Epstein files. Nor could they remove Clinton, and other big name Democrats that Trump swears are all in the Epstein files. That's just too complicated. They can only use their trickery for this, and this only.

You guys are giving democrats way too much credit, they do not really do anything worthwhile when they are in power. Why would they choose now of all times to try and out Trump?

If Trump is in the files, its most likely because he did something to put himself in the files.

A novel idea would be to release them, so we can know one way or the other. I'm getting real tired of protecting pedophiles of either political party or of any amount of power, whether I support them or not.

Just making sure you know #2 in this picture is the dude.

I really don't understand why we cant do both. Why does it have to be one or the other?

If Obama/the Obama administration did this then they should be held accountable. If Trump or anyone is connected to Epstein's empire then they should be held accountable.

Both sides are acting like the other one is using the other narrative to cover up their own narrative. And they probably are.

Go after Obama, go after those who were involved with Epstein's depravity. It shouldn't be a contest to see which political party can get a win first. That's why we keep going in circles.

Drain the swamp. No matter which side you are on, the bad has to go.

Good thing we have people that keep statistics lol

His velocity was still up, and was even getting higher in the last few innings.

He had not lost his command.

They were not getting to him in a meaningful way.

Its the last game of the season for him.

Pick any or all of those reasons and you have your answer. There was no reason to pull him, they had guys warming up. If his velo dropped or his command got wild they had guys ready. It saved our bullpen (not that it ended up mattering) and sent Kade out in amazing fashion.

Also there was zero chance Kade wasnt going to fight with everything he had to stay in there.

You would almost certainly be fine.

However, ive learned the hard way its really not worth risking it lol

Not much worse than food poisoning lol
