Yeah - we’ll get it low enough to get the Democrat agents on board.

Democrats continuing to destroy America.

Do it and the Dimms will regret it, guaranteed. His evil party is overplaying their hand right now and this country’s electorate, as stupid as it can be, is waking up.

Is he signaling that his and his families lives have been threatened? Join the group. I hear more and more of this, and it is not nice.

In a call with leftists donors. He’d bought and paid for.

55 votes. 50 Communist + Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Portman, and Toomey. Of course, he’s happy with 55.

No. He's signaling that he's a whore. Now we're just haggling over the price.

I understand your point and wish it were true, but how do you think they’ll regret it?

That we know of, they stole a Presidential election and two US Senate elections. No telling how many others. We have Republicans that eagerly helped and are enthusiastically trying to block any thorough investigation into what happened or audits.

About the only thing that can stop all of this nonsense is for the country to break up. Pure and simple. The Left controls portions of the coasts, let them have them. They also like to say that without liberals paying taxes, the Red States would die on the vine. Well, last time I checked, the Red States were where pretty much all the oil and food are. And I think many of the Leftist controlled areas would soon find themselves very lonely.

And when Republicans control the House and Senate with a slim majority they will raise you 5 and bring it back to 60. Dems politicians are like career criminals. They don’t think one day ahead of themselves. If it feels good today, do it!

Hes playing possum while radical bills and proposals stack up on crying chucks desk. Just prior to 2022 elections he will announce, “despite my best intentions to work on bipartisan efforts, it has become apparent that the gop is impossible to work with. So I am now going to reveal my true colors by voting to eliminate the filibuster altogether and to pack the court.”
