- with McConnell and 14 other Republicans giving it a boost

The Senate voted 65 to 34 to end a Republican-led filibuster on the gun reform package, with final passage coming as early as later Thursday

Senators were working on an agreement that would allow them to expedite the process instead of waiting 30 hours for a final vote

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was among the 15 Republicans to vote in favor of the package

The House could pass the package by the end of the week House Republican leadership is encouraging members to vote against it

That makes no sense and won’t helpat all - in fact they’ll just think the electorate is moving left and start voting more left. We have to handle this in the primaries and fundraising. In the general its too late and what you are suggesting is highly counter-productive.

With Dem lite aholes like this, why again do I want them to control Congress in 2023?

They’ll just do what the Dems want.

F the GOP.

Your votes AND your words do NOT mean a thing. Both sides are going to cheat.

Did I miss the inevitable, “not voting for the Republican just means a vote for the Democrat” nonsense post? Because it’s clear that voting for a Republican doesn’t equal to voting for a Conservative.

“People like McConnell and Romney need to be removed by constitutional amendment if necessary.”

Term Limits, via Convention Of States. It’s the only solution.

Expedite the process instead of waiting 30 hours for a final vote.

Let’s make a deal is completed everyone to the bank.

I don’t do drugs but I’m tired of siding with COWARDS. The Republican party is nothing but a bunch of cowards. I’m done with them. I may not vote for the RATS but I sure as hell won’t be voting for the Republicans anymore either. They can’t be trusted. A bunch of Brokeback Mountain KY Cowboys. All of them.

The GOP has gone “full retard” ...

[Gritty]

I really do not expect the GOP do get some magic red wave in the midterms. They are nauseating losers.

You're right. These chumps never miss a chance to miss a chance.
