  1. This is so stupid. He could’ve done that during Trump’s term and didn’t. Do you not remember Trump calling for it repeatedly on the Twitters? McConnell will do whatever suits his interests in the moment. He has no guiding principles and he’s already abolished a major judicial filibuster because he could and judges are his thing. I understand y’all see him preserving the filibuster for strategic reasons but if he believes it’s to his advantage to abolish it and Dems will do it anyway, he’s not going to hesitate.
  2. I’m amazed Charles Flynn passes a routine background check based on his brother association alone.
  3. Ah yes, the filibuster, noted thing republican voters will be enraged about for 18 months straight if democrats abolish it. Therefore, democrats should strategically play defense. Do you listen to yourself?
  4. McConnell will abolish the filibuster without question when it suits him. He doesn’t give a shit.
  5. When the Republicans take total control it will be because the democrats were weak. Pointing out Dems dawdling and incompetence isn’t going to do more damage than the dawdling and incompetence.
  6. You see, the strategy is to lose the House in 2022 and blame it on the “defund the police” progressives. Biden is orchestrating a master class of 3D chess here guys. Just you watch.
  7. I wish I could value your posts.
  8. Might as well build a border wall and ban the Muslims again. You know, for the politics.
  9. Yeah, just because these are desperate attempts to hold onto power doesn’t make them less harmful. However, I remain skeptical of the CRT gambit being run by republicans because they often get into shit like this without really thinking it through. They are banking on a certain responses from certain people: rile up their base, trigger the libs, control the narratives in media spaces... but having open discussions about critical race theory leads to shit like what happened with the general yesterday. I’m not sure how long they can keep the charade going before they’re force to manufacture the next outrage.
  10. Really?!? Towards what ultimate objective?
  11. I’m posting this because I feel like it articulates and important observation. The sunshine pumpers that said a few of us were overreacting four years ago are saying the same shit today despite being proven catastrophically wrong all the way up to this point. I get the need for someone to play Devil’s advocate in these discussions but it must get exhausting.
  12. Learned helplessness with a side of corruption and complicity
  13. Biden isn’t going to do shit on guns. He just wants to appear like he’s doing something. I don’t know why y’all worry about this so much.
  14. IMO It’s when society organizes around or against a religion that it becomes problematic, perhaps a reason some of the founders were big on the separation of Church and State. Another issue is the major religions have constantly been used to organize societies/governments and I have a hard time believing Jesus or Muhammad would be happy with how it’s gone over the last few thousand years.
  15. I just read the history of the Catholic Church and man, talk about cancel culture.
  16. I mean, armed or unarmed, Biden’s statement has some serious issues with the reality of recent history.
  17. Centrist Democrats everywhere scoff in disgust
  18. The window is so narrow to get shit done and the most lucrative time for Biden has already passed. We’re going to get one reconciliation bill centered around infrastructure (that’s going to be watered down) and then it’s an election year when nothing gets done. If Dems can’t maintain control of both the House and Senate in midterms, Biden’s agenda is toast. Biden isn’t a king but he can absolutely get away with a whole lot. Trump was banning Muslims and stealing money from the military to fund his border wall...Is it to much to ask for Biden to sell an aircraft carrier to end homelessness?
