That means (almost) all the senators showed up to vote.
WHAT THE FUCK, US SEANTE???
EVERY OTHER LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER IN THE WORLD IS PRACTICING PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND SENDING ONLY A BARE QUORUM INTO THE CHAMBER TO PASS NECESSARY LEGISLATION!!!
I hope every single person who was in the chamber is now in two-week quarantine.
Speaking of which, Rand Paul got tested, on doctor's advice, on the 16th. It turns out, he was infected ... and for a week after the test he'd gone about his Senatorial bullsh— errrr, I mean "business," as usual. How much of the Senate needs to be locked down now?
I don't wish death on anybody. But I've read a few positive test results lately with great relish.
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
