The House passed a bill on Wednesday aimed at outlawing the slaughter of cats and dogs for human consumption.

Florida Reps. Vern Buchanan, a Republican, and Alcee Hastings, a Democrat, have been working since 2017 on the "Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018," which seeks to fine people up to $5,000 for killing, shipping, selling or donating a cat or dog with the intended purpose of human consumption.

The bill includes an exception for Indian tribes "carrying out any activity described ... for the purpose of a religious ceremony."

The House also passed a resolution Wednesday "urging all nations to outlaw the dog and cat meat trade," according to a statement from Hastings.

"I am proud to have championed this effort, which sends a strong signal to the world that the welfare of animals must be taken seriously," he said.

Buchanan noted that most Americans aren't serving their pets for dinner, but "the practice is still legal in 44 states and should be outlawed completely given how beloved these animals are for most Americans."

He urged the Senate to consider the act before Congress adjourns in the fall.

This is the kind of important and necessary bipartisan legislation that John McCain would have wanted us to pass immediately. We must support the troops and honor his dream.

And amend this legislation to include further sanctions on Iran.

I see why BEN SHAPIRO may be concerned about the SMALL part of the children Dianne Feinstein eats.

Shapiro should be careful. She might confuse him for a small child and eat him too.

I don’t think Bloomberg has a prayer in the primary.

His anti gun platform will resonate

In 2016 he was upside down in favorability for both democrats and republicans in iowa when he was talking about running.

I just don't see what boxes Bloomberg really ticks. He's like Hillary with a dick. He doesn't clearly excite any particular group, have mass appeal, or anything notable about him as a candidate at all, really.

2018 nominee will be either booker or Kamala imo because they tick s lot of the right boxes for the Democratic party. Imo Kamala has the best shot if she runs, she's tough on trump, brown, woman, and has some positions that play towards the Bernie base.

I dont like Hillary but I like him

Come at me bro

If theres any male Hillary, its Cuomo.

At the same time I just got an alert from NPR in the story their source says the plea deal doesn’t involve the Trump campaign.

Which is...interesting. If accurate of course.

It's a he said she said situation.. unless there are witnesses that step forward, what are they gonna do? Put them both through a lie detector? Which aren't admissable in court? Repubs will ram him through no matter what.

[studyguy]

GOP would have leaked this day one to the press and had a field day with it.

In the grand scheme of things the argument is it does nothing to the proceedings, won't stall it, but now that it's here so late it absolutely won't do anything anyway. Guy's already running as the most unpopular SCOTUS nominee, any more reason to hate the guy would put more pressure. Not saying anyone bends with the added pressure but again there's no air in the room to discuss it anyway since apparently everyone agreed to not even bring it up.

It's not about being admissible in court, the nomination was going to get rammed down people's throats no matter what. Dems won't play the ruthless game though. Not entirely sure why Feinstien hid this from the rest of the senate.

Youre thinking checkers but my girl Kamela is thinking 4D chess.

If this was out in July, he is pulled and a clone is placed in August.

If you derail the nomination now, you run out the clock before the new Senators are seated.

Letter this week.

Additional proof next week.

Pressure to withdraw last week of September.

There's a procedural delay to a certain vote on thursday.
Nothing derails this train fam.

They tossed Clarence and even told Anita Hill to fuck off in the process, there's little doubt they'll just shut their eyes and vote in this cat, rapist or not.

Well, it sounds like we are in agreement studyguy, he is getting confirmed.

Impeachment if Dems win majority in November? They must act swift and quick.

Dude. He’s going to get derailed for being a fekkit.

This other dude was jumping on top of him? Jumping. On. Top. Of. His. Naked. Body. And. Laughing.

Might as well have just goatse’d him right there and docked their mutually uncircumcised dongs together in intimacy. Kavanaugh needs to go to conversion therapy not the Supreme Court.

[Steve Contra]

To Rudy Giuliani's credit he's found a job where he'd getting paid a lot of money to say the dumbest shit possible to assuage a single person. He's basically saying that Manafort flipped so he can tell the truth and exonerate the president. It's something only someone as dumb as trump would believe.

lmao what the fuck what kind of cac magic is this?
Dude had a fandom of random white women on FB called the 'We adore Kavanaugh club' or what?
Motherfucking finding 65 ex-HS classmates 30 years ago to say they knew you well enough to comment on his qualities was probably hard enough, finding 65 women at an all boys school tho. sus

Shit's laughable 

[james]

Who here among us who went to an all-boys school didnt engage in frequent anal sex?

It's not gay if everyone is doing it

I went to a university with 50,000 students and I wouldnt be able to track down 65 women who knew me

And thats in the Facebook era.

Right now on the news we have PR, Manafort and Kavanaugh rape shit.

Trump cheering on FEMA and peddling InfoWars theories on Puerto Rico at the same time is just fucking weird.

And Florida democrats are still too incompetent to turn those into votes from all the puerto Ricans that moved

[Nintex]

Puerto Rico should just become a Russian separatist state at this point.

The 'hate' the US government seems to have for their bastard child Puerto Rico is really on another level.

Puerto Rico is an imperial conquest, I don't think they have the option.

regarding the kavanaugh stuff, I'm actually a little torn. On the one hand, it's stupid, but on the other hand, the Merrick Garland stuff was evil. I'm leaning toward blood for blood because I hold grudges

[Phoenix Dark]

Just throwing this out there but if you have 65 women ready to defend your honor against charges of ill behavior...you probably did that shit.

I don't like how this has played out in terms of the judge not being asked about this, the accuser not wanting to come forward etc but still...the fact that republicans had a plan is a red flag to me.

Is he gonna get confirmed? Of course.

[Great Rumbler]

They went to bat for all the stuff Trump said and did, they went to bat for all the stuff Roy Moore did. A reliable conservative majority on the SC is far more important than either of those, especially at a time when it looks like this is going to be their last, best chance to get it.

[shosta]

Is he struggling with the fact that people actually died on his watch? Is he incapable of accepting it?

[kingv]

One thing I’m curious about is how reliable the conservative majority on the SC will actually be.

Sometimes John Roberts finds reasons to blink when the court is heading into something incredibly controversial. I wonder if he might blink more often if Kennedy isn’t around.

[Joe Molotov]

As the saying goes, Trump wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. There’s nothing that isn’t about him.

[Mandark]

Is he struggling with the fact that people actually died on his watch? Is he incapable of accepting it?

He constantly tells blatant lies to try to make himself look good. We don't need to analyze each one for a distinct reason. It's the same as all the other times.

CBS kind of burying the lede on that one. Taking out Hellen Keller and the first female presidential nominee of a major party in a Social studies curriculum, but leaving in Billy Graham is classic Texas, but the one that actually kind of triggers me(and probably is more damaging) is removing any mention of Thomas Hobbes to replace it with passages about the positive importance of Moses and Mosaic/Judeo-Christian law in shaping the constitution and influencing American history/government.

[shosta]

They took out Hobbes but left in the bible?

[Oblivion]

Remember back when the Tea Party first showed up that Texas wanted to remove Thomas Jefferson from the history books cause he wasn't Bible Thumper-y enough?

[shosta]

Reminds me of one of my favorite books

I guess every natural disaster now includes the President keeping score of the casualty count on Twitter. 

Next Thursday, FEMA will do its first test of a system that allows the president to send a message to most U.S. cellphones.
