But isn’t that what the ‘nuclear option’ could potentially be for, ending debate on legislation? Or am I wrong about that? I thought it allows a simple majority to change senate rules, like temporarily doing away with the filibuster. Reid used it once for Obama appointments and Mitch used it to end debate on the Garland confirmation a few years later.

That would be quite bloody.

Sure hope THEY don’t start a civil war that way.

They have enough for both. Jan 6 scared the GOP enough that they do not want an armed populace.

We need to quit calling DC a swamp. A swamp is a place with an amazing ecosystem. We need to call DC a sewer. A place that is a full of rats and disgusting smelly bacteria.

Jan 6 was just a small warm up. If we ever get REALLY pissed they will know it. And regret it.

"Fox News contributor and former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer on Wednesday predicted that Senate Democrats will move to nix the Senate filibuster on gun reform legislation after multiple deadly mass shootings."

Sure, now let me tell you about these monkeys......

That’s my guess - the Democrats won’t need to get Manchin to vote against his re-election chances, they can get GOP traitors to fill in for him.

The start of CWII. The commie @$$holes want a fight, bring it. We owe it to every military person who died for America.

Once Pedo Joe and his commie hos attack the Bill of Rights, the Game Changer kicks in and Americans are obligated to fight against the fascist bastards to defend our rights.

Leftists seem to think all the hundreds of thousands of our military who sacrificed their lives to protect our freedoms should be for naught, all because of some crazed individuals who caused some mass shootings of several hundreds or a thousand people in total.

Yes the sacrifice of any American is tragic, but not enough ever to start taking away our rights. We need to sacrifice the rights of those who cause the shootings not law abiding Americans. That should be the red line.

Without the 2A we the people have nothing except to become pawns ready to be sacrificed on the altar of leftist fascism.
