Based on the headline, it's disgraceful. Dig a little deeper and it's understandable. Republicans attached voting act language. Republicans carved out exceptions and added language to hide existing holdings.

Dems also said they didn't vote for it because it didn't go far enough. That's a BS political excuse. The other reasons are good enough.

Seeing lots of Dems online defending this bc the stock ban also had ID to vote included which is a huge red flag to the party of voter fraud
This is how it works. A bill is proposed that neither side wants passed. So they put stuff in there that keeps it from passing. When it inevitably fails, both sides can point to each other as the problem, they can show that they're "trying", and they still get to keep on doing it.

Corruption clear as day.


So as posted above, it had voter ID legislation attacted to it which changes things a LOT. So my question is to you Growlz, did you know the voter id stuff was attached and "forgot" to mention it. Or did you know, and just wanted another Alternative Facts moment.

Did your Twitter bots tell you the bill did not apply restrictions to the president or other White House officials?

Did they tell you it still allowed lawmakers to keep the stocks they already owned and allowed family members to trade for them?

Did they tell you the Voter ID portion had poison pills from the Save America Act that would have made it difficult for many Americans to vote by mail?

It was the best. Surprised you mainstream democrats just unabashedly support election fraud.

It most certainly does matter. YOU think Voter ID laws are good moves. LOTS of folks disagree with that. You framed the whole thread as Democrats voting against stock trading b/c they are corrupt. Not a WORD about the Voter ID part. So again, did you know?

this debate reminds me of the John Kerry quote " I did actually vote for the bill before I voted against it". And in Washington, that actually makes sense.
