The overall bill won't pass, the government will shutdown. Still, this is cute.

Cute maybe.
But it’s an interesting, Deep State Draining precedent. She’s added a tool to the kit. It’s forward thinking, like displaying the axe before the execution, or the hammering at the gallows in the night. This is how you do it.

Wow, never saw such a public vote of no-confidence in a SecDef, even though partisan

The SecDefComPoop should be impeached by the House for perverting the armed forces and for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Cutting his salary to $1 is essentially an act of cowardice by members of the House.

3-2-1...racism. They’d better do the same to a couple of white guys.

Even at that he would be overpaid.

As a political stunt can become a movement, I think much of government needs a good "haircut." Most Americans are serving their public servants, when it ought to be the other way around.

MTG, Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz are the only Republicans “stepping out in front” and trying to do something.

It’s an act of compassion. His pay will go to zero during a shutdown. This would have given him a buck to make a panhandling sign to use during the shutdown. To not do so would be racist.

It’s a good start.

Honestly, It is unserious and a waste of time and resources. It is stunts like these that make Congress look like a clown show.

Racism in defense of America is a good policy.
Racism is a purely political term designed to promote unity in the diverse Black citizenry

For the benefit of the Reveal, perhaps it is a good thing to display Congress for what it is.
