“What is so amazingly difficult to understand about this? Do people not know what the filibuster is?”

Apparently many here, or more likely, they’re just NeverTrumpers.

“Calm Down”, the words of a woke poke.

The SALT deduction increase doesn’t have to be given to every area of the USA.

Filibuster and your state will not get an increased SALT deduction.

The tax cut continuation doesn’t have to be given to every area of the USA.

Filibuster and your state will not get the tax cut continuation.

So you want to filabuster?

In any year the senator of any state filabusters or otherwises impedes legislation which President Trump has previiously declared ‘muy importante’ for more than one hour in total, the residents of that state shall not be entitled to the benefits provided by this legislation.

“Do people not know what the filibuster is? Do they not care?”

I think he might be overestimating the average voter. Bigly.

“...not only by the Democrats but our own Republican Party ...”

Hey Kurt, WAKE UP! It’s called the “uniparty” that put us (soon to be) $40,000,000,000,000 in debt, not two separate political parties.

Read the whole thing; as usual, he brings common sense to all the current issues we care about.

Common sense? Nonsense.
Just balance the damn budget!!! Quit obfuscating everything beyond understanding. Stop baseline budgeting. The department of educating is discretionary? The legal services corporation is mandatory? Midnight basketball, NPR, PBS—mandatory or discretionary? Stop the BULLCRAP and balance the damn budget!!!
Stop spending us into oblivion!!!! Stop the nonsense.

Dan Bongino said he had looked at the evidence of the Crook attempted assassination and that there was no there there, no conspiracy. Bongino is either stupid or lying, but he has betrayed Trump.

And when he says he looked at the record on Epstein’s death, does he trust that the ones who murdered him would record the truth?

Did you read the article? It would take 60 votes to give us what we want. We only have 53, if every Republican would vote yea. Is it rotten that we always have to compromise? It sure is. But until we have60 votes, we have to go with what we can. However, continuing resolutions only take 50 votes. That’s where the battle needs to be.

I know. But those 60 votes will impede a balanced budget. Who are those 60 votes? If it helps the Rats, it is ok. Otherwise, raise a stink. You missed my point entirely
Senate protocol above saving the country? Is that what you want?

Disappointing and frustrating as it may be, we have to be understanding of facts and trusting of people who clearly earned that trust over many years - in short, Schlichter is correct. Have patience, Trump has a plan - that what real estate moguls do, plan - and not just for next week. We have to be adults about this, unlike the spoiled children on the other side.
