Thanks Jane.
“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema said Thursday that she will not vote to weaken the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold, bucking her party leaders yet again and dealing a major blow to Democrats’ election reform effort.
The comments, which match Sinema’s long-held stance on the filibuster, are effectively the final nail in the coffin of Democrats’ longshot effort to pass two elections bills over unified Senate GOP opposition.
“There’s no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There’s no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy,” Sinema, D-Ariz., said. “This week’s harried discussions about Senate rules are but a poor substitute for what I believe could have and should have been a thoughtful public debate at any time over the past year.”
Glad I traveled when I did.
Bye-done and his staff have got to know how bad this looks, and they do care way too much about perception so what gives?
I’m proud I didn’t get arrested! And I spent a lot of time eating and drinking coffee. I did have my pepper spray confiscated in Dallas, after many years of going undetected.
👀
Well, they can put the bill to change the voting to rest, IT’S DEAD!!!
Sinema took to the Senate floor this morning to announce she would not go along with killing the filibuster.
🙏🙏
Are we shooting or shouting?
Either way we might both get arrested.
We should check on the state of our bail money first.
The state of the bail money is fine, as long as the right horse wins in the seventh at Santa Anita. 😉
LOL!
I guess we will just have to call a truce until we know who wins the race.
Back at ya!

I haven’t been doing well this week, but don’t have fever. Maybe I should get some OTC meds, which I don’t normally do. Need to keep a doctor appointment tomorrow.
🤣😂😁

Reminds of a trip my sis and I took, many years ago.
We got off our flight, and to our hotel room, and she had a look of horror on her face. She pulled out her mace and said Look what I had in my purse the entire flight!!
I said, well, at least we’ll be safe, HERE.
I’m just glad you didn’t ask me for the vid.....trying to go back though posts is daunting, to me, some times. I’d still be scrolling!
Just trying to stay caught up on the thread is challenging.
Especially when the night owls swoop in with all of the good info posts.
(Not that I’m being a Caren and calling out the Chatty Cathys :)
Does this mean Brandon is asking for his own self, and the lying Dems, to be banned from being aired, on these programs?
I thought it was funny because numbers don’t have feelings. People that know me have always called me “Dr. Spock” because they say I’m too logical. I even went to a psychiatrist when I had marital problems, and even a marriage counselor, they both said I was a thinker and not emotional, but there was nothing wrong with that. That’s why I liked working with numbers, it’s always right or wrong, not subjective. I guess that’s why it was funny to me.
What a smirking asshole. I don’t have any sympathy for him in his mental condition. What he is now is what he’s always been.
