Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Quote:
Was this guy Moore dressed in KKK for halloween or as a KKK member? Does it matter? ---------------- Nonniey - yes, dem did dumb, repub did dumb .. (then McConnell held up garland and rushed the tongue speaker) ...and now the SCROTUM is a political branch of the R. ------------------------- The filibuster is in trouble. President Joe Biden has come out in favor of reforming it, and Democrats in the Senate are weighing alternatives. But the strongest sign that its days are numbered is that the Republican leader Mitch McConnell is threatening Armageddon if the other party touches it. No one presently—or perhaps ever—in the Senate has practiced the dark art of obstruction as relentlessly as the current minority leader. And the Kentucky senator’s most effective weapon, requiring 60 votes for virtually everything the opposing party wants to do, has been the filibuster. Democrats can propose legislation that voters strongly support—a higher minimum wage, a path to citizenship for Dreamers, background checks for gun purchasers, safeguards for Americans’ ability to cast ballots—and McConnell can strangle it off camera with a minimum of notice or fuss. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...ngress/618346/ I cant find the article I read yesterday but this article is in the same vein Doesnt matter though ... were broken. We have a religious minority, with the inherent benefits to them (EC, gerry, 2 senators for each state regardless of pop) .. making religious policy for everyone.
