A legitimate majority leader would announce that the nuclear option will apply to all Senate business going forward.

Then confirm Gorsuch. Then pass real health care reform.

The Senate no longer has enough loyalty to the country to operate with a 60 vote rule.

Same with the House, sadly. These cretins no longer represent us, game the entire system, cheat whenever possible, lie often.

Dingy Harry changed the rule, we will follow them now. Period. Suck it up, buttercups.

I completely agree with this. The facade is lifted. Has been for a couple of decades now. It is more of a “jews vs Nazi’s” or Palestinian vs Israeli” thing now. There is no real common ground.

And in that last sentence is the key to how our “house divided” will not stand much longer, regardless of the outcome of the political battle de jure.

That is why I moved from Seattle to rural KY in 2011. The writing is on the wall and has been for decades. It’s only a matter of when, not if.
