He’s jettisoning this 215-year-old protection for minority rights based upon promises from two Democrat senators.
...Thanks to Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, Sen. Chuck Schumer is the Majority Leader. He’s proposed an equal-power sharing agreement, provided that the Senate ditches the filibuster. Of course, the notion of equal power is a chimera. I did mention Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, right?
For a while McConnell held firm, refusing to go along with Schumer’s proposal. But Schumer nagged, whined, and complained. He went on MSNBC and said that McConnell’s stubbornness was making his “entire caucus” mad. For a while, McConnell held strong.
But no longer. McConnell got word that Sen. Joe Manchin (D. West Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D. Ariz.) have promised that they won’t vote to end the filibuster:
SNIP
McConnell is out of his ever-lovin' mind!
When it comes to Manchin, except for protecting his state’s oil and gas interests, the senator from West Virginia always talks conservative and then votes leftist. As John Nolte wrote, he “did not vote to put the highly-qualified Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court . . . [but he] did vote to impeach President Donald Trump.”
Sinema is a different story. Her history suggests that she should be the senate equivalent of AOC and her Squad: She’s a bisexual who fervently supports LGBTQ+ issues, was a social worker, belonged to the Green Party, was a member of Code Pink, and hangs out with witches. Nevertheless, she has functioned as a moderate Democrat in the Senate. She is essentially the mirror image of John McCain: an Arizona maverick who will oppose her own party. Still, it’s hard to trust her on something this important.

hold on for the plunge!
Treacherous Chinamonkey.
They don’t call the GOP the Surrender Party for nothing.
The treachery never ends. The other side must have a lot on this old turd.
I guess Mitch got tired of winning.
Mitch has delusions of adequacy.
And to think this guy wants to vote to convict trump...Donald should take special pleasure picking off his allies in primaries next year
Accept payola from the Mob once, they own you forever.
Mitch is actually saying I, for one, welcome our new Overlords.
I noticed American Thinker has taken down their comment section.
I have traveled less to the Federalist since they took their down. I guess I will view the American Thinker less too.
I don’t care to just read the authors opinion on a topic. I like to get a read of the room through the comments.
Oh well. Que sera, sera
Mitch has a picture of Tip O'Neill's caddy Bob Michel in his office. He worships this paragon of Republican leadership.
Yup and forty nine other republican senators sit back in their comfy leather chairs and say what a great leader we have in Mitch McConnell.
Mitch: doing what he’s told.
Some immoderate things are said in comments, so they must otherwise moderate it. Moderation costs money.
AT took their comments down because they risked losing their hosting service like Parler did.
McTurtle caves.
In other news: Water is wet.
So tell me, Mitch, how much Chinese money has your wife’s family raked in, and how much of that money is now in your own personal accounts?
