Biden says he has accomplished enormous things in his first year.
But, you know, he needs to get rid of the filibuster so that he can, uhhhhhhh, accomplish something.
And now that isn’t going to happen.
So, accomplishing more stuff in his second years is going to be ... hard.
Another theory I’ve heard is that the leftist scum leadership will throw as much sh!t against the wall between now and November, knowing it will fail, to fire up the radical leftist scum insane asylum escapees to a fever pitch, hoping to blunt gains of the human party over the Party of Satan.
So support for the filibuster is **bipartisan** !
Both parties support it!
Maybe, but now the Dems can run on “Republicans blocked voting rights for minorities.” That, Jan 6 and Trump Bad are all they have.
Will minorities reflexively react “those evil Republicans” or will they see it as it really is — the Unbeatable Democrats Forever Bill?
“Hats off to Sinema and Manchin”
Agree, but also the 50 Republicans (including some very hard-core RINOs) who held firm against this.
But Sinema and Manchin took BIG-TIME arrows to try to save our country from tyranny, and deserve a phone call or two to thank them.
Schmuck Choomer fails. How tragic.
2 Democrats?
So it’s a bipartisan decision.
The Constitution needs to be Amended to make it necessary to get a 60% vote to pass legislation in both The House and The Senate.
Kamala left early because Schumer didn’t have the votes and her laughing was distracting.
I live in AZ and mayb it for Sinema over this a depending on who runs against her. I will vote for Sinema over a Mitch McConnell or a Mitt Romney clone.
The surprising thing is that Manchin and Sinema were alone. So much for the “moderate” wing of the dimocrat party. Those who try to run for reelection as a moderate will get their payback!
Despite the predictions that he would fold, Manchin has been more steadfast in his position than most Republicans were on Trump’s agenda.
I’ve said all along I think he has his eye on the 2024 nomination, and maybe he just proved he deserves it.
Is this article written by “Li Zhou” or does “By Li Zhou” have a pronoun for a first name?
Asking for a friend.
Is it ok if I hate progressive communists disguised as democrats of a reasonable entity? My guess is half the RINOs and half the CRATS could form a new super party that could rule for 50 years. Might be best. IDK.
“Hats off to Sinema and Manchin”
Agreed, and I hope the good people of Montana now realize that Tester is no Zell Miller. Get rid of that clown, he doesn’t belong in a deep red state.
Our Creator works in mysterious ways.
We need to repeal the 17th amendment to bring back states rights.
Once the Democrats are again in the minority in 2023, the filibuster will of course once again be a sacred tradition.
Read later.
“It did reveal, however, just how much support filibuster reform has within the Democratic caucus, and highlighted a stark shift in the party’s position on the issue.”
No it doesn’t. It only indicates they want the change only when it suits them. They sure as hell didn’t want it changed during Trump when the Republicans had a majority.
Of course back then, it was the Republicans that wanted it changed - including Trump.
I think it was done to see if the turncoat Republicans could possibly vote for it to get back at the party.
