Schumer shows the left’s desperation to build fraud into elections

Although the Democrats put most of their political capital in the Build More Communist Bill (known as the “Build Back Better Bill”), the bill that’s more important to them is actually the “For The People” Act, which has already passed in the House. If the Senate passes it, it will build into elections every type of pro-fraud procedure possible. To that end, Sen. Chuckie Schumer wrote to tell Republicans, who will be destroyed if the act passes, that they’d better pass the act or else he’ll destroy the filibuster and pass the act without them.
You may recall that, in January 2021, Sen. Mitch McConnell entered into an agreement with Schumer that raised the possibility of doing away with the filibuster. Currently, the filibuster is a rule that, when brought into play, does away with a simple majority vote in the Senate and, instead, requires a supermajority to pass a bill.
The filibuster has existed since 1806. With Democrat control over both Congress and the White House, following an election so bizarre and tainted that huge numbers of Americans believe Biden got “help” getting into the White House, the filibuster is all that stands between packing the Supreme Court, federalizing election fraud, adding D.C. and Puerto Rico as states, and Building More Communist.
The 50-50 split in the Senate, with Kamala Harris as the tie-breaker, means that Schumer is the majority leader. He offered McConnell an equal power-sharing agreement if the Senate ditched the filibuster. McConnell agreed because Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema promised they wouldn’t vote to end the filibuster.

Schumer has that wierd look in his eyes that I often see in leftists. It is like they have pulled some scheme on you, but they know you won’t find out for several days.

Sinema has signaled she will not vote to end the filibuster. Wonder how Schumer plans to pull this off?

Bidung Engenders Buyers’ Remorse—— h/t ny post editors.
<><> Instead of running “a real campaign,” Bidung hid in his basement” using COVID as an excuse.
<><>The major media gave him a free pass and now we’re all stuck paying the price.
<><>Bidung underscores that Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst president in history.
<><>Bidung promised to unite us but never even attempted it.
<><>he vowed to shut down the pandemic,
<><>we’ve lost more lives to COVID on his watch than Pres Trump’s.
And things are going to get worse in 2022 before they get better because Bidung is too tone deaf and arrogant to admit he’s wrong and call for a course correction.
What to do? “Weather the storm until November,” when control of Congress is up from grabs.
Twenty four Democrats have already jumped ship.

............EVEN IF ending the filibuster passes it would be enjoined 5 minutes later! Meaning a lawsuit is probably already laying on some lawyers desk somewhere.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is using the J6 ‘threat to our democracy‘ narrative in an effort to gain support for legislation that will permit the federal takeover of elections. In a letter today, Schumer sets a deadline date of January 17 for a change in the Senate rules to remove the filibuster.
Schumer writes this letter without actually having the needed number of votes to change the rules, but he’s attempting to create pressure on fellow Democrats. Full propaganda letter below, but here’s the part that matters:

WASHINGTON DC – Chuck Schumer is attempting a filibuster Hail Mary as Democrats’ agenda on both elections reform and President Joe Biden’s economic plans remains stalled at the beginning of a critical midterm election year.
The Senate majority leader warned Monday that the Senate will debate and vote on changes to the chamber’s rules by January 17, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, unless Republicans get out of the way on elections reform. His threat seems inevitable, since Republicans are almost certain to block Democrats’ next attempt to bring up their priority legislation. (read more)
As we previously noted, the entire roadmap for Democrats in the 2022 mid-term election is predicated on exploitation of the J6 ‘danger to democracy‘ narrative. They have multiple approaches, most of which will evidence as efforts in stupidity, toward using the J6 narrative.
With the current landscape of diminished support for Biden and Democrats, and with the Biden administration increasingly looking ridiculous as they try and rebrand their messaging, the political outlook simply does not look *good for their success. However, it’s likely they will keep trying.

Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Sasse are all potential saviors of “our democracy”. And just how do they propose to ever get elected again if they allow Schumer to control elections in every state?
To: Bratch
When it comes to Democrat power, they claim that rules must change with the times. Yet, with abortion, they claim that precedent is all that matters.
To: Bratch
Schumer writes this letter without actually having the needed number of votes to change the rules Empty bluster and braggadocio.
To: MtnClimber
McConnell is as “honorable” as Schumer. Behind the scenes Mitch will engage in any tactic that he sees as benefiting himself. In other words, McConnell is a snake and will always be a snake.

First, if they don't already have more money than God (a near-requirement to get there in the first place), after one or two terms they (or their "partners") will have enough to live on for the rest if their lives.
Second, post-congressional opportunities for enrichment are numerous for those who go along, AND, once retired, there is zero risk that their bad habits or perversions will ever come into public view.
