I know that this is not related to the matter at hand, but there is a domestic political matter in progress (filibuster) and I have not seen any view along the lines of mine. A year from now when the 52-48(+/-) Republican Senate is being sworn in, Joe and Kristen will be hailed as heroes for their stand. Somewhere, there exists a Dem tactician smart enough to figure out that these 2 could make the stand and still get re-elected. I’m having difficulty posting these days, and so haven’t been doing much lately. Over the years, I have observed your ability to make and present a case. Hopefully, this observation will be worth your presenting in future threads on that matter. Thanks, M44.
Carrying the tactical gaming out of the situation one step further; Joe and Kristen also win themselves a shot at the Dem presidential run -vs- Trump/DeSantis...(it’s been a long time since any Dem has done anything remotely resembling statesmanship, this will be hailed far and wide) and both are from states that usually go Repub in presidential elections. As for Biden/Harris?... If he lives he will retire, and if he doesn’t she will not attempt to be re-elected.
