Watching Biden illegally try to push through spending packages around Congress who has the authority, or illegally try to extend eviction moratoriums or forgive student loans, etc. Just remember you all are setting precedence for these illegal actions, so when the GOP does it, don’t fly off the handle



Remember y’all set these norms. I don’t want to hear about any complaining when the GOP follows the Democrats lead.

1. McConnell had just killed the filibuster for SC nominees

2. McConnell's biggest goal was passing tax cuts for the rich .. which they were able to do though budget reconciliation, so they were able to avoid the 60 vote requirement

3. Dont worry .. Im not worried about republicans passing bills/policy to help struggling people out

4. You know in your heart that republicans will be the ones to do away w the legislative filibuster (but that hypothetical guessing)

Harry Reid and Democrats laid the precedent with filibuster reform with federal judges. Which McConnell extended to SCOTUS.

So you Agree McConnell could have but didn’t kill the fillibuster before…tax cuts for the American people which spurred the best economy ever don’t have nuttin to do bout nuttin

Literally Biden and every democrat in congress except for Senama and Manchin are for eliminating the filibuster and called for it. Which is a flip from just a couple years ago when hypocrite Democrats pleaded to keep the filibuster during the Trump administration.

There is little support from the GOP in getting rid of the filibuster which has been a historic position.

Come on now killing the filibuster for SC nominees was a response to what Reid did with the filibuster 2 years before and also what Reid said the Dems would do with the rest of the filibusters after the 2016 election (which he fully expected to win).
