Of course, that’s how politics works. All this bluster about opposing the bill was always theater as usual. There’s always a bunch of holdouts, and they allow just enough to fight back in an empty gesture for their constituents, so that it still passes by one vote.
I knew that all that opposition in the House would melt away as each was given their favorite pork amendment in the bill.
Just like those dog & pony shows called Congressional Hearings, where they bring in a bunch of CEOs from whatever industry they are targeting that day, grill them for a day or two, then do absolutely NOTHING about it. EVER.
I’ve been watching it happen over and over for decades. I’m so bored with it.
