McConnell threatens Senate shutdown if Democrats nuke filibuster
Fox news ^ | 01/11/2021 | Tyler Olson

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday threatened to essentially shut down a "post-nuclear Senate" as Democrats speed toward a potential vote on altering the Senate's 60-vote filibuster in the next week.

"I think it's appropriate to ask: What would the Senate look like in a post-nuclear world?" McConnell said, referring to the "nuclear option" of creating a new Senate precedent with just 50 votes needed to allow passage of legislation.

Relax, I’m sure you’ll change it back once the country has been remade.

As Steve Bannon says “smash mouth” is the only thing Libs understand. I hope if we get back in power that we turn the FBI and IRS on their domestic terrorist groups..... payback is a bitc$.

I’m at Starbucks and literally spit my dark roast pour over.

This Washington aunt farm is so not fascinating anymore.

Hi Mitch!

Happy New Year! Good to see you near the top of the news pile again. I know your staffers read the Free Republic. So here is a suggestion.

Mitch, why wait? Give the demonkkkraps (and that includes Mitt Romney) a little taste of what might happen. You probably read comments here that are very critical of you. Well this is a chance to prove all those Freepers wrong and gain back their trust.

Have a nice day. And thanks for all your timely support.

There were upwards of EIGHT Senate seats stolen from the GOP in the 2020 “election.” Where was Mitch when that happened ? Why didn’t he shut it down until those frauds were refused to be seated ?

Until they give him another 2 billion for a boondoggle in his state.

He’s just letting the Rats know that he doesn’t come cheap.

They would be part of my move Federal Agencies out into the other areas of the US. For the FBI and IRS I would pick Alaska. I think that will cause a lot of the person in those two agencies to decline the move, there by self eliminating themselves
