I’m fine with it being that way again, as long as it takes a 2/3 vote to override it.

Whatever reform they try to pass will be reversed by the Senate in 2023 or 2025

Will our votes be counted?

Of course they will be counted, but who they are cast for is another matter.

“but, hey, we don’t have those two lousy rinos from GA in the senate, so we’re good.”

We are our own worst enemies. The Democrats are laughing at us.

"Here comes the evisceration of the 2nd amendment."

Yes. Added to the banglist (keyword).

Democrats are working for global investment oligarchs, who want to disarm America and take full control of the government. Communists see that situation (plutocracy and resultant suffering) as a way to make their play to completely end capitalism and private property ownership. Foreign enemy governments see it as a way to invade and occupy the U.S.A.

I guess the check cleared.

He is in a position to demand premium prices for bribes, and is professional enough to understand that market.

Payday for the swing votes.

What’d that take, a week and a half?

And, Yes, Lindsey Graham met with Manchin to see if some of his objections could be met.

Nothing’s happening until the Republicans figure out they are being sabotaged from within.

The Dems just had this tool for four straight years

The GA Senate race was lost by Mitch McConnell saying he wouldn’t give the people $2,000

Everyone alive knows it.

That was Mitch McConnell.

Your precious RINO leader.

Then there’s that.

The Republican SOS was protecting all the Voting Fraud.

How many Dems stab their party and President in the back? The GOP lines up to attack Trump, but both Parties treat Obama and Biden like DC royalty.

I think Republican voters were demoralized by the cheating & the inept lawyering thus lowering turnout. Low-info voters were probably motivated negatively by McConnell’s blunder.

D.C. Statehood.
Puerto Rico Statehood.
HR1 vote stealing.
Court packing.
Filibuster deleted.

Can ANY group ever overcome the permanent political coup?
