Are y'all watching the house armed services committee voting on Mattis waiver?

The house representatives are all angry that Mattis isn't appearing before them to testify. A large majority of them seem to be prepared to vote against the waiver, even though as the chairman pointed out, the only precedent is someone who didn't appear before house or congress before receiving the waiver and only appeared for the confirmation hearing.

What happens if it fails in this committee?

The commmittee can't adjourn until someone pins Mattis.

They will learn what "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy and "Have a plane to kill everyone you meet." means.

It will be voted on by the full House of Reps. Mattis will win the votes there.

The big question is, "Does he bring artillery?"

Castro is a bitch. Won't say President Elect before Trump.

They are going down party lines on this one for sure.

Vote was done.

34 Yes
28 No

Waiver bill to go to full House for vote.

How many seats did the Dems lose under Obama's reign again?

Elections have consequences!

Just because "he didn't appear before them"...even though he went through a lengthy hearing in the senate this AM that they were all privy to watch. This was so petty.

All he needs is one knife hand. Has an I stand kill radius of 15 ft and an effective kill radius as far as he can see.


On a related note, Every female senator in the hearing this morning was instantly pregnant as soon as he walked in.
