Can you post a link to the roll call votes for that drum vote you are taking about? I'd like to see the record showing all 100 senators voting for that.
Sure, some days someone calls in sick and the Unanimous vote is 98-0, or 99-0... or 100-0.
The link to Senate Activity was already provided in a post just prior.
Follow it. Or Google works as well for you as me.
This is silly trick you and others use.... "spoon-feed me links or your point is invalid"!
And it works both ways.
How about providing links showing how rare 100-0 votes in Congress are?
Can you point to that vote on this list? I don't see a vote for a drum. I also don't see any other 100-0 votes. Or 99. Or 98. Or 97. Coud could it be because you are full of it?

Big Bertha recognition votes aside, I would have thought any casual observer of US politics would know that unanimous Senate vote is exceedingly rare. Nearly everything is largely split along party lines, and that fact is complained about constantly in US politics. Any bi-partisan attempt at anything is rare.
Every one of these articles below referred to the 100-0 vote on the Russian trade bill as rare or unusual, etc.
Legislation to revoke Russia's permanent normal trade relations status and ban Russian oil imports hit procedural delays. But, the Senate ultimately delivered.
It's a different bill, but it doesn't defeat the point any when this article called the 100-0 vote on replenishing a crime victim fund as a "a nearly unheard-of 100-0 tally."
I wouldn't know where to find statistics on this, and I'm not going to try, because I suspect you know damn well that a 100-0 US Senate vote is a very rare thing.
I thought we were analyzing the military conflict hour by hour, day by day? Body counts, mechanized vehicles destroyed, fleeing Ukrainians, etc. I guess pages of posts regarding a meaningless Congressional vote helps you take your mind off Ukraine's future defeat. In reference to votes by the Upper Chamber: Think about how many Ukrainians U.S. politicians got killed by extending the suffering of Ukrainian citizens. Conservatively, 1500 more Ukrainians have died due to U.S. politicians extend the suffering over the past 5 weeks.

Is this one good enough for you? You can sort by highest support and year to see how rare unanimous votes are. They are extremely rare, with the two Russia votes the only ones so far this year. There were about a 15 (out of 528 votes) in 2021.

A gift.
From "Past Roll Call Votes" select the Congress # and year from the dropdown list.
The from Show _ Rows select All.
For 2021 there were one 100-0 "formal" vote (pass). The four other 100-0 votes are "Agreed to" which means the Senate agreed to consider a bill for a formal vote; the amendment process starts.
You have to look up each year individually, and search for 100-0. The Senate's online database only goes back to 1989.

Unfortunately, all of the Putin supporters are extremely low IQ, so there isn't a lot to debate at this point.

Is that how you argue in court when you go pro se and attempt to get a traffic citation thrown out?

Your logic is so flawed in so many ways, at least one being that you called the Congressional vote meaningless and a sentence later you are stating that US politicians have somehow killed Ukrainians. You're pretty nuts. See, e.g., NutJob at 5 ("1500 more Ukrainians have died due to U.S. politicians.")
In any case, while I don't recall any hour by hour or even day by day analysis of the military aspects of the Russian invasion, I have no doubt there will be plenty of such discussion in the near future.
We could analyze this if you want? Would that make you feel better about the direction of the thread?
RUSSIAN troops received orders to slaughter civilians, Ukraine’s intelligence service claimed last night. A furious commander allegedly screamed “kill them all” after soldiers warned him they had i…
Biden has all his cronies in line. Masterfully pulling the strings in both parties to fight a successful proxy war against one of our largest geopolitical rivals (and a powerful nuclear state).
What you are alleging in all your posts -- that the West is really the cause of all this fighting and it's their fault -- basically requires that Biden and the American Democratic political machine has orchestrated one of the greatest geopolitical victories of the modern era. Are you willing to admit that? lol
Repeated and deliberate misrepresentation of other positions and statements are made.
Followed by detraction made not with facts and reason, but hyperbole.

I did search 1st session 2019 for "-0" figuring that would capture unanimous votes with absentees. There were 4 out of 428, one related to celebrating 100 years of women's suffrage, and 2 others were approving district court judges.
Regarding bills and motions presented in the US Senate, these are passed using two procedural methods.
Once introduced to the floor, a call for objections is made. None being made, there is no debate and it’s passed by Unanimous Consent, having an effect of being 100-0, or whatever quorum attendance was that day.
If the motion is contentious, it’s debated and called to a recorded vote, which is invariably partisan based on Party Whip directives. It is correct to assert floor votes are infrequently 100-0, unless the Whips reached prior agreement.
So Unanimous passage of Bills and Motions representing 100 Senators is routine. Floor votes to the same effect are not.

+50 blood pressure because the Senate said buying Russian oil is bad. You've been madposting all day about this

Only 1500? While every Ukrainian death is a tragedy, that seems like a small price to pay for Ukraine not to become a puppet state in Tsar Putin’s empire. On the bright side, think about how many Russians soldiers have died due to U.S. politicians extending Ukraine’s existence over the past 5 weeks!
p.s. Don't even start to pretend that the attacks on Kyiv were just a distraction. Putin made it very clear in his essay last year ("On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians") that he wants ALL of Ukraine to be Russian territory and blames the Bolsheviks for allowing Ukraine to be a separate country.
Isn't Putin pathological liar? Why would you believe him on this and not believe him on something else?
Yes. Putin is a pathological liar. In addition to being an autocratic psychopath.
Well, Putin put forth two diametrically opposite statements. One said that Ukraine could not exist without Russia and that he was going to right the wrongs of the Bolsheviks that allowed Ukraine to exist as a separate country. The other said, that the 70,000 troops he sent to encircle Kyiv were just a clever ruse to weaken the Ukraine.
One of these was spelled out in a 5000 word essay published last year. The other was a brief statement put out after Russia got defeated in their attempt to capture Kyiv. You can pick which one you want to believe, but anybody with more than 4 functioning synapses in their brain knows that Russia getting their a$$es kicked and running back to Belarus was not what Putin envisioned when he sent the 35th CAA into Ukraine.
