Cry me a river if Congress had to be called back to DO THEIR JOB! yup. And plenty of freepers were cheering Trump on when he trashed Massie, because, you know, gotta support Trump. There is no reason they have to be present for a recorded vote. I'd be willing to bet almost any amount of money that you care to name, that Massie would have been cool with a vote by email, as long as the vote is recorded. The rules of the house and senate are set by the house and senate. If they want to change the rules, they can do so. Trump was wrong for calling him out on this. There should be no such thing as a 'voice vote'. Ever. These cretins should be on record for every vote they take.
Screw them all, the bunch of entitled assholes.

I was rooting for Massie. Every constitutionalist on FR should be doing the same. You would think so. Unfortunately, any alleged "crisis" short-circuits many freeper's brains. I've seen this happen multiple times. I'm always disappointed in it. That's on me. I should know that sheep far outnumber sheepdogs.

Donald Trump’s dumbest tweet ever. That’s saying a lot.

I don't know if House rules would allow voting by email, but considering the circumstances, Nanking Nancy should have figured out an alternate way of voting.
Either that or move the Congress to a secured location somewhere.

I live in Massie’s district.Must be nice to have a congresscritter that actually stands for something. I can't remember the last time I had an opportunity to vote for someone like that.

I'd bet Massie wouldn't have had a problem with a voice vote to allow alternate methods to get everyone on record. They just didn't want to be on record with this vote.
