there’s a really good chance that it’s game over. the lunatics are in charge of the asylum.

but let’s ignore a of that, and beat on poor stupid mitch mconnell — that’ll be super productive.

Yep...you guys who BOYCOTTED the Georgia runoffs (to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’) created this (the loss of legal gun ownership).

Proud of yourselves, now that you’re about to be felons?

Do you REALLY think you ‘taught the GOP a lesson’? (you probably do, LOL!)

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

Won't need to. The Senator filibustering has to remain standing without a break, talking without pause, unable to even lean on the rostrum, for the duration of the filibuster. They'll last a day, day-and-a-half tops.

Funny, read the first couple of sentences without looking at the source and thought “liberal”.

Bingo.

Indeed, the brain dead conspiracy morons and the paid ShareBlue shills are both trying to cover their tracks. We can check the turnout data. 250k cowards who voted red in November stayed home in January. If they had voted both senate races would have been comfortable wins.

There are still some of these pathetic worthless cowards here encouraging people to vote for Democrats in the next election because they want to double down on stupid.

“and we TOLD them what was going to happen if they went through with their lunatic plan...well, here the hell we are.”

Yep, a HUGE REASON that I’m leaving the country is because TOTAL IDIOTS on our side actually think that the way to protect gun rights is to elect Democrats?, and somehow that will workout for us.

We have some REALLY SICK PEOPLE on our side...whose rationale for the above is that since the Democrats would cheat in the runoffs, we should boycott and make it so easy for them to win that they won’t even need to cheat.

So yes, here we are. I guess no more gun shows, no more taking your guns to the range, and no more shooting if there’s any chance someone will call it in, and, OBVIOUSLY, the end of using guns for self-defense (at least if they don’t want to spend 20 years in jail) . Gun owners, through their INGENIOUS move to hand the Senate to Democrats are about to be looked at no differently, in the eyes of the law, as Crack Dealers.

...at this point, when they start getting jailed, they won’t get any sympathy from me.

People were told the $2,000 checks are going out immediately, look it up.

Mitch said, we’re not going to do $2,000 checks because Trump was for it.

This is even more maddening when one realizes the checks are 1/10 of the pork-laden legislation.

You can’t compete with $2,000 payoffs.

Why aren’t we talking about crossovers Murkowski, Graham, Sasse, Toomey, Thune, Collins, Romney, and Cornyn?

omnidirectional blamestormers blame everyone but themselves. ESPECIALLY when they’re the ones that are guilty.
