General Discussion

Unanimous Consent is what the senate normally uses to clear things the House sends them, that they have to do something with, but otherwise don't care about (renaming a post office in Cousin Fuck, Nebraska as an example).

In THIS case, the senate looked around the room and said:
'Wait a sec...is there anybody in the room that actually wants to spend the next 6 months arguing over who's gonna DRINK this poison?
No?
NOBODY?
LAST CALL...OkDoneNextTHANK YOU!

This shit is so toxic that they didn't even want the bill in the chamber, lest some window-licker of an intern have the chance to do or say something so stupid that not only could it not be walked back, but ruins a career in the process.

Fuck yeah HouseElf Mikey is shook, HE thought he was gonna get the Senate to drink this poison to save his own ass; he passed the chalice and Thune dumped it out on the floor LIKE A SMART PERSON lol.
