Clue in the one guy that doesn't please?
i'm guessing because she's the only senator with a notable quantity of deepfake porn made of her.
She isnt a senator though, unless I missed something?
Bills start in the House before they are passed to the Senate. My guess would be that she championed it through the House, and then passed it off to the Senators mentioned to continue shepherding the legislation to the President's desk.
It can go both ways. Some start in the house, some the senate. They need to be approved by both, but the process isn’t unidirectional.
Wow, today I learned! Thanks for the info. It turns out a half remembered episode of Schoolhouse Rock seen 30 years ago is not the authoritative source on the legislative info.
Unfortunately, that is not stopping me for hearing, "I'm just a bill, sitting on Capitol Hill" ad nauseum in my head lol
She isn't one, but she will be. A senator I mean.
Not the only one with a "notable quantity", but certainly the only one with content which could be regarded as "contextually appropriate".
If your sexual proclivity errs on the side of old and/or stupid politicians, then I apologise for calling your preferences "contextually inappropriate"
It's like watching the Teletubbies during an orgy; sure, someone might be into it, but I'm quite sure most people would say the Teletubbies is not something they want to watch while turning your favourite primary school teacher pink.
I get it now, thanks for the explanation!
I dunno, i've seen lots of Kamala deepfakes flooding the internet since her run was announced.
VP is functionally essentially a senator with extra privilages

But seemingly less power and influence somehow
Say that to my petabyte-sized collection of Lindsay Graham tickle porn.
For republicans, aoc is the face of the liberal woke boogeyman. It doesn't matter what she says or does, it's automatically terrible. All news media gives her way more attention than is warranted bc they like to capitalize on hype.
