Special guest appearance by Representative Chip Roy (R-TX), explaining why he opposed the naming of a post office after the late Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-TX)...
trump continues to make bizarre unsubstantiated claims...... Trump says GOP will take back House, suggests votes are being tampered with https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...-back-house-suggests-votes-are-being-tampered
The turtle gets his special guest appearance... blaming Senate Democrats for blocking trump nominations with 128 cloture motions. Funny thing, the year that there were the most number of senate cloture motions was 2013, when there were 218 clotures motions. Seems to me the President then was Barack Obama. And the Senate Minority Leader... one mitch mcconnell. link to senate web site: https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/reference/cloture_motions/clotureCounts.htm
Chip's explanation: “As it pertains to post office naming, I will try not to stand in the way of these bills getting a vote. As a matter of principle, I will not vote for politicians to name buildings after other politicians. I don’t think it is a wise use of time. As it pertains to post offices specifically, and in regards to me cosponsoring HR 512, in order for those bills to even be considered, the entire Texas delegation must co-sponsor. Whenever possible, I will not prevent friends and colleagues in the Texas delegation from making their own voting decisions in these instances.” https://roy.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-chip-roy-congressional-post-office-naming Makes sense. But, I guess he won't extend the same consideration to Democratic colleagues. Which I suppose is his way of participating in the post-office-naming game while claiming to be above that sort of thing.
Someone in the white house must have figured out that the blatant trump lie about $91B spent was not going to fly...
Did trump say this simply because he is ignorant, or because he saw a Hispanic name? What Is the Flores Agreement, and What Happens If the Trump Administration Withdraws from It? https://www.justsecurity.org/61144/flores-agreement-trump-administration-withdraws-it/
