IIRC, the HOR passed a NASA budget bill then stripped out the language and inserted the voting language. S2747. How is that even possible? It's been S2747 since 9/14/2021 introduced by amy clubcar. Link here:

You do realize that voting on cloture is not the same as the vote to nuke to filibuster right?

Sinema won’t vote for anything that arises from some sort of dirty act or maneuver of desperation from the Dems. Her point is that there needs to be negotiation, not one party ramming something thru. The bill is dead.

[Reily]

Congress has doing that “sleight-of-hand” with bills from day 1.

Meanwhile..

Sinema pulls a quick U-Turn when she sees Biden…

Yes. IIRC this POS is an attempt to get around needing the 60 votes. But, not sure if they have the 50 + commiela ‘fweedumb’ hawiss. Correct as needed.

Nobody like to be yelled at by old codgers to “GET OFF MY LAWN!”. And I’m and old codger. But, all my grass has been removed so.................

I fear that Schumer will be successful in sneaking through the NASA bill with the voting amendment attached. They are telling us that it is so popular but they have to sneak it through based on trickery.

I have not heard a single Republican come out and call them out on this garbage. The uniparty sucks.

[rktman]

The republicrats would be like “Oh, they changed some wording? Probably an enhancement. Where do we sign?”

[JerseyDvl]

The worst part is that they already signed it. It is a bill that has been passed to fund NASA but the house hasn’t passed it yet.
The Democrats simply plan on adding an amendment to this bill and sending it to the House so they can rubber stamp it. I really don’t think they would be doing this if it was a popular piece of legislation.
Unfortunately, the thinking here is that it doesn’t matter how much people hate him because he’ll still be able to steal the election.
The most Republicans can do is speak up so I better hear some pushback on this... Though I don’t think it will matter. We’re living under soft communism going by a different name.

[rktman]

Thanks for the info. I didn’t dig very deep.

[JerseyDvl]

All good! Of course, these efforts are stealth and won’t get much coverage since everybody knows it’s a scam.

[JerseyDvl]

Reference bump. MSNBC pretty much admits it’s a scam.

A scam that “just may work”..

[Bon of Babble]

Which Biden or Democrat policies does Manchin support?

IOW, why is he a Democrat given what the Democratic party has become and the fact that he is from a red state?

As for Sinema:

Is this some kind of hooker look?

[Tommy Revolts]

This really exposes how desperate the Democrats have become.
What is shocking to me is how many went along with abolishing the filibuster rule.

I never thought I would say it about a Democrat, but I am thankful at this moment for Senators Sinema and Manchin.

[Hyman Roth]

Isn’t she a part time carpet muncher?

[paddles]

Doubles her chances of getting a date.

[SgtHooper]

“IOW, why is he a Democrat...”

That is the best place for him given his voting. For him to flip could be disastorous for Conservatives.
