First off FUCK FETTERMAN
Confused by the wording and headline
Headline says failed but quote in article seems like it went against the war
So wtf is the result?
The normal split in the Senate is 53R / 47D. With Mitch out of order, it’s down to 52/47. So three R’s voting the for it would have been enough to make the measure pass, if all D’s voted as well. But the vote got Fettermaned, and failed 49-50.
How I understand is that the resolution needs to pass to stop hostilities. It actually failed to pass with 49 votes for and 50 against. It would have passed if Fetterman wasn’t such a piece of shit.
That dirty traitorous mother fucker. Fuck.
Despite some Republicans ostensibly trying to do the right thing, the effort failed because Fetterman is a piece of shit.
As are 49 other senators.
50 just because he’s dead doesn’t mean he isn’t a PoS.
