America's whore of Babylon and Sodom and Gomorrah: Congressional Republicans

Three big chunks of news today focus on voting rights before the Senate, Russian aggression in Ukraine, and the January 6 committee. First, voting rights: Today, the Senate began to debate the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act to protect voting rights. Not a single Republican spoke up for the bill. All 48 Democrats and the 2 Independents who caucus with them—who together represent 40.5 million more people than the 50 Republicans do—support the voting rights bill, but two senators, Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), do not support a carve-out for the voting rights bill so that it can avoid a filibuster by the Republicans.

Sloan Bashinsky I'm an Independent. While I think the Democrats are their own worst enemy much of the time, with all their internal squabbling, and for having run the one candidate Donald Trump could beat in 2016, all but a few Republicans in Congress today remind me of the Whore of Babylon and Sodom and Gomorrah in their beloved Bible, and Hitler's Germany in the 1930s, and Stalin's Russia. Where does that leave Manchin and Sienma?
