U.S. Senate
www.c-span.org
The Senate will vote to advance President Trump's nomination of Matthew Whitaker to be the U.S. Ambassador to NATO. He previously served as Acting Attorney General during the first Trump Administration.

It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

    Yea there’s a lot of that going on in here. Mind boggling how so many people can criticize a government they are willfully ignorant of. The people most desperate to exercise their political will can’t seem to manage to figure out how. I’m trying to help them. we need that kind of passion.

      I’m with you there. I’ve been doing that since the 90s. Most of my friends are Gen-Xers. Wanna talk about a frustrating group to engage?🙄

        Yea im that age as well where big brother and friends are young GenX knuckle heads. Gen Z is REALLY hard to communicate with. the women are super intelligent and articulate and the boys leave a lot to be desired in intellectual conversation. The younger they are the more this stand out. I’m hoping gen A is based.

        GenX has had a really disappointing political evolution. The punk rock boys i looked up to are extinct.

          Agreed. A piece of me died when they closed CBGB’s. It seems like the grunge apathy stuck around far too long too.

                  That it does. Check out the acoustic videos of him in the woods/grass before the concert stuff.

                  Booker is killing it! I’m so proud of him. I really hope this sparks some unity in the Senate.

                    Im feeling more motivated to action. I hope people are watching and feeling the same. It’s been cathartic hearing him scream what i want to scream.
