Who Will Benefit Long-Term from Ending the Filibuster?

Posted on 06/28/2021 9:16:39 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

Would it be good for our country to see federal agencies and programs shrunk, starved of resources, or abolished a few years from now?

The issue is behind us for now but no one in our leadership brought the idea. Not even a "be careful what you wish for" statement. Perhaps it should be brought up again just before the November '22 elections. Would the rats take that gamble knowing they just might lose big the following January 3rd? Biden would sign fast and they'd have 3 months to cram in everything they could followed up with Biden vetoing anything the 51+ GOP senators put forward. Then there's 2 years of horror knowing what's ahead if '24 doesn't turn out right.

That would depend on the nature of draconian laws passed before the current crop of commies come up for election.

The NazicRATS would take complete control like Hitler did.

Absolute control. Dont think I am kidding either. There would be no more elections as we all knew them before this crime syndicate took over years ago.

They have already be openly indicating what their intentions are.

Let’s say the GOP wins the Senate in ‘22. There will be 10 weeks to then bring it up again(3rd time?). All retiring GOP senators vote yea. How many rats switch/show their true finger-in-the-wind colors?

BTW..they admitted that they are “monitoring” web sites to smoke out the “extremists” in their sordid view, and when the time is ripe, they will move. An extremist to them is a patriots. I.E. you and I and everyone on this web site. Those who love liberty and natures (Gods) laws.

It was hard to find anyone on our side suggesting the benefits of eliminating the filibuster. We need to be more open to the ideas-at least.

the LEFTISTs want it gone because they think they can solidify a single party state before the opposition can use it against them.

we are living in interesting times

Not to mention they know full well their “good friends across the aisle” will not reverse any meaningful bill they pass even if there is a Republican in office in 2025 to sign it.

Who is kidding whom here? Of course the d’s will try to abolish the filibuster when they are in hte majority, but they will ignore the same loss when they are the minority. It’s just how they work: Rules for thee, not for me!

‘be careful what you wish for’.

It kinda reminds me of the drama displayed over the pubic hair in the coke comment by our favorite SCOTUS. Office harassment. Knowing the history of one B.J. Clinton(& others) didn’t stop them. We can play the same game. Remember it was Harry Reid that ended it for judicial appointments.

Whichever party has the White House and 59 Senators or less.

The entire point of this power play is permanent control.

There will be no turning back, no GOP majority EVER.

The filibuster is a dead man walking. After the filibuster is history the regime will add five fascist thugs to the SC. That will finalize the Uniparty coup of 1/7. The fascist long knives will soon be out for the fool Uniparty hacks who care nothing about fascism, they only came to town to get rich. We are, as a country, over the cliff and in free fall.

Every change only serves the enemy. And everything they would accomplish in the next 2 1/2 years will never be rolled back. No matter what kind of congress we get. The DC swamp ratchet system allows globalism, environmentalism, and communism to move forward a notch of the time, but never go back..

The first order of business in a new GOP congress should be an all-day discussion/vote on ending the filibuster. Do it on a Saturday to show they’re not wasting more valuable time. Select GOP senators spend 10 weeks beforehand ‘promising’ to do just that. Watch how it will effect the NFL playoff watching. The left is good at throwing monkey wrenches into the machine. Think kneeling, Dr. Fauci, BLM-all attention whores. We can play the same game.

D.C. statehood. I’d like to think we shouldn’t have to worry about it because it’s not allowed constitutionally. Will that stop them? You know the answer so we may have to preemptively give those voters the right to vote on Maryland. It’s wrong but it would keep them from pushing the issue. They have us on the run otherwise.

The Democrats will end it next time they have unified govt with a few spare senate seats and ram hone some terrible laws with voter fraud being #1 and amnesty and GND as #2 and #3 in either order and court packing as a wild card.

#1 will probably get struck down by SCOTUS unless they pack the court to prevent that, which could happen.

There will be some voter backlash but will be mostly blunted by all the election rigging.

How the disenfranchised red staters respond to being deliberately locked out of setting national policy is anyone’s guess. I’d like to say that some of the normal states would peel away but secession is fraught with risk and never underestimate people’s willingness to put up with a miserable authoritarian govt if your personal situation is mostly comfortable.
