That means (almost) all the senators showed up to vote.
WHAT THE FUCK, US SEANTE???
EVERY OTHER LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER IN THE WORLD IS PRACTICING PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND SENDING ONLY A BARE QUORUM INTO THE CHAMBER TO PASS NECESSARY LEGISLATION!!!
I hope every single person who was in the chamber is now in two-week quarantine.
Speaking of which, Rand Paul got tested, on doctor's advice, on the 16th. It turns out, he was infected ... and for a week after the test he'd gone about his Senatorial bullsh— errrr, I mean "business," as usual. How much of the Senate needs to be locked down now?
I don't wish death on anybody. But I've read a few positive test results lately with great relish.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
