I don’t know what it is with our side, if a liberal has a moment of intellectual clarity, we start hero worshiping them. Kind of like all the freepers who praised Lieberman as a great moderate. The only thing he was ever right on was Israel. But then we are the same people who continually vote for politicians who claim to be conservative, but govern like liberals, and tell us we are not smart enough to know the difference.

Can you demonstrate where on the excerpt list this site is found?

Thank you.

It drives me crazy when people excerpt articles unnecessarily.

If it's not on the excerpt list, POST THE ENTIRE D*MN ARTICLE!!!!!

Vent over.

The filibuster is a procedural thing. I don’t think they need 60 votes to end it. It’s a matter of changing some Senate rules, IIRC.

They can pass major gun control bills, but who is going to obey them? Certainly not the criminals.

Right, but I thought they needed 60 votes to do it.
There may be other ways,

He could change parties, but I doubt he will, since there is really only one corrupt establishment party to choose from, The Republicratic Party.

Yup. He’s only allowed to buck when it doesn’t matter, so he can appease the people of WVa. Nothing more.

He might be toast but that’ll take 3 more years. Lots of damage to be done during that time.

I agree with you in spirit. But there was nothing that was going to stop Abrams from getting what she wanted. Which she did.

Only thing that could have stopped that theft was the Governor and/or the legislature. Neither had the balls to do it. And now the Georgia legislature is probably going to drop the ball again and NOT do anything about abrams’ mail in voting scheme

They will barring the end of ‘mail in voting’ or secession.

Of course. Why should such a thing come as a surprise?

The ‘nuclear option’ allows for a simple majority on rule changes. Reid used it once for Obama appointments, McConnell used it once to stop the Gorsuch SC nomination I think.

That is amusing. After the commies squeeze HR-1 through, the Democrats will rule the nation as no state will be safe from them.

Thanks, I think people are starting to agree with me a bit now on this (since you’re the only comment), which means I can finally shut up, having made my point - being, “yes, it can get worse, much worse”.
