I find it funny that those tweets and sources or whatever, keep blaming this cabal of all-powerful republicans for foiling disclosure. The same idiots who can't get literally anything done with a majority are suddenly the gatekeepers to the most powerful secret the world has ever known.
A better question is why do you get so defensive when I laugh at some of the political angles. It literally has nothing to do with you.
It's not just Schumer-led BS/hysteria. Even
Republicans are saying that a group of Republicans are attempting to block the legislation. I don't get why that's so trivial or unbelievable to you, especially when it's being widely reported, by both sides. Now, sure, those Republicans' reasons for attempting to block the legislation could be different than what Schumer and a journalist or two are claiming, but again, that's up for debate, and the opposite is nothing anyone here is promoting or "falling" for.
Also, it doesn't take an "all-powerful cabal" to keep certain bill provisions from passing, nor would doing so make this a group of "gatekeepers." The two sides are simply haggling over language. The Senate voted and approved their version of the bill. Then the House voted and approved their version of the bill. Now that each version has passed, the Senate and the House - as they do every single year - have begun a formal negotiation process between the two versions. Like, this is extremely basic government sh*t, and again, standard, end-of-year procedure. Arguing over what gets left in and out of any bill happens all the time, and the lawmakers who manage to keep certain things out of certain bills are never labeled as "all-powerful cabals." So why are you suddenly doing so in this instance?
FInally, to answer your "better question": because it's endlessly annoying. Because you seemingly can't post in this thread without whining about politics or using snark to belittle. Again, it just gets old knowing that half of what I post here is inevitably going to be met with mockery by Some Cosmonaut Junkie, even if it's not directed at me, specifically. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
