She’s not wrong.
That’s what they want, should it not surprise any of us?
JD Vance pointed out that the only thing that kept the Democrats from eliminating the filibuster when they had controlled Congress was Sinema and Manchin. Both are gone. The filibuster is gone the instant the Democrats take Congress again - if Republicans refuse to eliminate now, while they hold Congress, they deserve to lose forever.
Time to gaslight her and call her a doomer. /s
Trump can switch to America Party.
If RINOs are resisting then he may have to do that.
Even if the gop gets rid of it, you can bet when the democommies get in control again, we’re gonna get bent over with no lube.
The Democrats will, though.
Maybe, maybe not.
100% true.
Still, see my post above.
Last time the Dems had control of the Senate their motion to end the filabuster wqs defeated by 2 Dem senators 0 now gone. Next tine they will end it if the Spineless GOP does not do it now.
The Dems are already planing what they will do after they end it: pack SCOTUS, add DC and PR as states for starters - that will give them permanent control of the Senate and likely the House as well.
It's only a matter of time before they get power again.
So what are we waiting for?
Unfortunately the rest of us will lose our country then probably for good 😢
LOL- reading all the posts from the spineless and feckless FReepers here is so typical...and you wonder why mamdani won....
Fear? But, gop could lock in some things IF they really wanted to. Laura is probably right.
Here’s how to play hardball: Senate rule changes only require a majority vote. Eliminate the filibuster rule now and spend the next 3+ years passing MAGA legislation, including spending reforms, voter integrity, etc. When the RATs win back the senate, reinstate the filibuster before they are sworn in and change the Senate rules to require a 60 vote majority to eliminate the filibuster rule.
yep, eliminate it and then immediately pass an election integrity law by simply majority mandating all states verify citizenship for all elections and all social services. And making it clear illegal aliens are not guaranteed emergency room service regardless of ability to pay.
So the democrats are gold and in control now ? Boy that happened fast.
Sickles RINOs strike again.
I very much acknowledge that the next rat senate likely nukes it anyway...
So maybe it’s the least bad option, IDK.
However, I will never stop SMH over nuking the filibuster to pass a *CONTINUING BUDGET RESOLUTION!*
Less than a year to go until what looks like it could be a very challenging midterm?
Maybe if we had some guaranteed 50 vote agreements + House consensus on important legislation, but I’m not seeing anything like that.
I just cannot see the wisdom behind using the nuclear option for a kick-the-can CR.
Losing is a Republican strategy for GOP inc.
