This is not good. Once they submit these types of bills, if libs ever control of the two other branches... will make it much easier to pass this crap Same with recent gun legislation.

Do you think this generation of Democrats give a shit as to what we do or don’t do anymore. That was the case in the past, and it was the reason why Hillarycare failed - a Senate filibuster killed it in 1994, even though there were 57 Democrats in the Senate. They could have changed the rules to 50 votes then, but they did not and allowed Hillarycare to fail (thank God).

But that was then. Before the 2016 election, Senate Democrats MADE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR that they would end all filibusters if they took control. Thankfully they did not.

At this point, there is NOTHING that the Republicans do that will affect the Democrats should they get control again...once they get that control, we simply will not know what hit us...and the Republican Party, as we know it, will NEVER be allowed to compete at the national level, if any level.

So we FIGHT FOR TODAY, not for tomorrow. We did that with Gorsuch, and we need to keep doing it, until we leave the Democrats on the trash heap of history.

Never offer anything that you are not willing to give. This is the Senate, the senators need to grow up and get serious.

Are you really serious? Even if the Dems controlled Congress, such a bill will never see the light of day. Even Cap-and-Trade failed in 2009 with a Rat Congress.

The Turtle is simply highlighting the hypocrisy of the Dems here.

This is not an endorsement of violence or meant to encourage or condone violence. I much prefer all of us working within the system at the ballot box to defeat the Dems in 2020.
