Dems who voted with GOP on Yemen

Earlier I posted this:


Also known as the five Democrats who are taking Saudi money.


Now:

This was actually the farm bill that ridiculously (but typically) had the Yemen note attached, so I don't think we can say those five actually voted to block the Yemen vote.  This is why this shit is important.  At any rate, the bill passed 203-203.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:



Well, that's ONE reason people hate Congress.

UPDATE:
Consider what Ryan and his majority did today. They made it impossible for the United States to swiftly extricate itself from accessorial conduct in a horrible ongoing crime-by-famine, and they did it by sabotaging a bill that helps get food to people in this country.

[...]

This is one of the last acts of Paul Ryan's speakership, and he richly deserves the contempt that will be heaped on him for playing legislative monkey-mischief with starving children. And in a farm bill.

[...]

That's how Paul Ryan will leave Congress, complicit in the death by starvation of children he doesn't even know.

Not a surprise for Paul Ryan conduct.
