It has come to my attention that most of MAGA, specifically those who do not understand the history of Republicans in the Senate, support a return to Senatorial and Parliamentary norms, where 60 votes are needed in order to advance any legislative intent. [READ HERE] Stupid is, as stupid does.
Prior to the 2024 election, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, promised to end the filibuster rule and change the Senate to a simple ‘majority rules’ body. However, in the aftermath of the 2024 election outcome, where Democrats are now in the minority, Chuck Schumer has a reversal of prior opinion and is requesting the Republican leadership to retain the filibuster rule – giving power to the Democrats who now hold minority position.
Into this mix of UniParty and DeceptiCon political constructs, the online MAGA community are now advocating for a return to old Senatorial rules where amendments can be offered to all bills proposed and the 60-vote threshold is retained for cloture, filibuster power and legislative passage.
Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place. A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “The short version of that is: Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you. Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all. That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general. Republicans realize that even though they will have the majority for the next two years, they might be back in the minority at any time after that. So, Schumer will not get it good and hard the way he planned to give it to Republicans.” (more)
This is exactly how ‘republicanism’ infects the MAGA movement, ultimately and predictably positioning the future republican voters frustrated and shouting at trees. Democrats, together with Mitch McConnell and John Thune love this, because it retains their lucrative business model.
Let me start by reminding the MAGA victims, that’s YOU, of the position of Democrats:
Apparently, the high-minded influencers within the MAGA community have seemingly forgotten about this intent.
Next, let us move to the reality of what the GOP is planning to do, and remember Scott, Cornyn and Thune all agree on this.
The return of amendments to the Senate bills brings with it retention of the filibuster and ‘cloture’ 60-vote threshold.
Taking the first part first, those amendments have a name. During the Obamcare fiasco you might remember a few of them: “The cornhusker kickback” (Nelson), “The Louisiana Purchase” (Landrieu), the “Florida Gator Aide” (Nelson). These “amendments” are purchases of Senator’s votes with sweetheart closed-door deals, they are not enhancements to the bill, they are bribes for support.
Now the second part. Presume a 55/45 split. The Majority needs to purchase votes from the minority in order to reach 60. That’s where “amendments” offer the highest price. K-Street Lobbyists pay for minority senators to support the amendment. Lots of money is made.
Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid were not in opposition to each other on the business end of this process. Their personal wealth benefitted greatly.
The high-minded MAGA Republicans are advocating for returning to, and retention of, this process.
History: After Scott Brown became #41, Leader Harry Reid had to begin purchasing votes from Mitch McConnell. However, the American public were holding the GOP feet to the fire. Eventually Reid just said, “screw it” and dropped the vote threshold for final bill passage to a simple majority, 51.
The Senate retained the 51-vote passage, with the exception of “cloture votes” or votes to close debate, along with ‘filibuster breaking thresholds’ which still needed 60. Essentially, McConnell/Reid were not stupid, they did not want to give up the business model. So, 60 cloture votes and filibuster remained.
The Cloture Votes also provided the Deceptive Conservatives, DeceptiCons, the opportunity to vote yea on cloture, then vote against the bill. Senator Ted Cruz is the #1 Republican who uses cloture voting as a mask. Cruz often votes yea on cloture (supporting the bill) and nay on the bill itself (thereby denying he ever supported it). It’s a good cover, and they all use it.
Obviously, McConnell didn’t want to be the one to change the lucrative construct of Harry Reid, so he retained the non-amendment part and the 51-vote simple majority part. Then McConnell lost the Senate, again.
However, suddenly, the GOP are back in the majority and now Rick Scott (and presumably John Cornyn) wants to give the power back to the minority. McConnell’s protege’ John Thune learned well from the knee of the master.
Leader John Thune has no issue giving the GOP power in the Senate away, adding back the lucrative process of amendments, and returning the threshold to 60 votes for bill passage. However, he had to pretend it was some astronomical exhibition of magnanimity in order to gain maximum value from the illusion of doing what he always supported.
Thune says as leader I will return to regular order, amendments, voting thresholds and the pre-Harry Reid processes. Everyone cheers.
The republicans are now in the majority and have changed the structure to add amendments and give stronger power to the minority.
THE RESULT – President Trump’s agenda will be more difficult to pass (higher threshold and stronger opposition position), but somehow MAGA cheers for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (see thread).
Battered Conservative Syndrome.
Wash-Rinse-Repeat…. Then everyone will look oddly when the base of voters throws up their arms in frustration and the Senate flips back during Trump’s 2026 midterm election.
Why should a Republican Senate majority take their foot off the gas and allow the Democrats to retain the power of the minority. They hold no similar disposition when in power.
I say, crush them.
Advance the MAGA agenda. Crush the opposition and give Republicans in 2026 a reason to go out and make the prior election even more resounding.
Shakes head…revulsion…. determination.
I will never register as one of them again, Scott Pressler notwithstanding. Preening, phony fks disgust me to the core. I know what to expect from these frauds… I’m never surprised.
The only thing you accomplish by switching yourself to independent is the actual participation in choosing more MAGA candidates in the primaries which makes it harder for us who are struggling to clean the darn party out.
Lets face it, there are 2 main parties, choose one or the other and change them. Otherwise stop complaining as you are not even in the mix to fight for anyone. We need fighters, no whiners or quitters. Just look at Trump, is he complaining, no, by God, he is fighting to fix all of it.
President Trump ALWAYS says to “Vote Republican” and he NEVER specifies to vote only for MAGA candidates. Voting Republican means that voting for RINOs is part of that equation. RINOs need to be primaried out and replaced with solid MAGA Republicans. We cannot afford to do what some here still advocate, that is, only voting MAGA. A non vote for a Republican candidate is, in essence, a vote for the Democrat.
President Trump has asked this of us and I will crawl over broken glass to do what he asks.
Exactly! Sorry I didn’t make that clearer, thanks so much for that addition. I get so mad when I hear people saying they left the party because of Rinos. Sheesh!
#PrimaryThemALL
Thank you! Yes, I think you are right.
Doesn’t apply to states with open primaries, like my state. I simply decide what ballot I want to vote – democrat or republican – at every primary. Our party choice is not made when we register. The parties have to look at which party’s primaries we have voted in to determine our preference.
But, if the Independent party gets enough disgusted reps., well, who knows???
Clean the party out? Will Texas re elect Cornyn? Or SC, Graham? Seems likely.
I’ll make this as short as possible. Let’s say you have six parties, all vying for the President. We actually have more, so your arguments are invalid. Regardless, lets also say there is an election and due to splitting the votes six different ways, the worst candidate wins because three candidates split a fractured but similar platform.
In the aftermath, and to possibly have the platform win regardless of affiliation, two, perhaps three of the losers come together to run as one voice. They either win or not, but if not, this consolidation of platforms continues until you once again have two parties.
All those who run outside of either of the two main parties, even if they were to win by some miraculous event, would have zero support in Congress. They would be lame ducks with no ability to push their agendas. The famous quote and excellent article by Mike Rosen (KOA Radio and Denver Post) many years ago is “Party Trumps Person”.
There’s a video on YouTube explaining the mathematical problem in voting. The 2 major parties benefit from it. Think the best way presented was you pick everyone you consider acceptable. The one with the most votes wins.
I think a new party needs to be formed. Draw from all parties that way they don’t feel like they’re reversing themselves, eg Democrat switching to Republican. The base in both the Democrat and Republican Parties feel like they’ve been abandoned.
What do you think I am NPA/Indy?
I had enough of ron! and his glossy mailers trying to shake me down for money to run for President and one more Continuing Resolution is all I could take.
The Senate is repugnant.
This isn’t an issue of which party to affiliate. It’s about continuing to fight the war. The election was merely a battle. Understand the senate has become their own self-appointed royalty, our betters. Their conniving results in mediocre legislation that is jam packed with direct payoff or positions guaranteed to make them multi-millionaires. An excellent example was the recent Whip Sheet showing support of the members to Thune, Cornyn and Scott. When MAGA flooded Senate switchboard with raucous reminders of exactly what that mandate that carried them into office was. Suddenly the Whip Sheet was declared fake and “debunked”. Sorry it was right from a senior aid’s pocket to Benny Johnson. In the end the Whip Sheet was pretty accurate anointing Thune. The filthy bastards lied to our faces. I say return to Regular Order and shit can all these phony tools used for power and money. And I’m sorry I won’t settle for the hopium we’ll primary them out. Hell less than 10% of MAGA votes in primary election and that’s likely not going to change much. I say we start acting like the Dems – make our presence and voices heard. Don’t give them an inch otherwise what ever victory we thought we had will be lost. How many of you bothered to follow the Whip Sheet story and HOW MANY of you actually called your senator to hold their feet to the fire. And what precious few paid attention to the final count and if their senator lied about supporting Thune or Cornyn, HOW MANY of YOU called to give your senator hell?
I wrote our newly-elected republican senator who replaced a long time democrat. JD Vance is my current senator. So I didn’t write him. I assume he knows Thune is a McConnell descendent.
I live in Massachusetts. Elizabeth Warren is my senator. So no, I didn’t waste my time calling her office. I’m moving to Texas within the year.
I’m in NH, 2 Dem senators…….didn’t waste my time.
If in a closed primary State it becomes incumbent upon us to either register as a Republican to vote in the primaries for MAGA candidates; or register as a Democrat to vote in the primaries against the most leftist-candidate in their race; either works for me, just do it or don’t complain when our choices come down to voting for the least worst candidate of the bunch in the general election.
I’ve been calling the US Senate the Heart of the Swamp. It’s not going to change anytime soon.
However, President Trump will get what he really needs from them this time around.
Next year will be historic. MAGA.
The Banksters that foisted the Seventeenth upon us have delivered us to foreign masters.
By design.
To me, it seems like the method used to the Seventeenth upon us was dusted off and re-used to put over the Patriot Act.
You have to motivate the citizens to support your initiative, whether it is to foist the Seventeenth Amendment upon us or to put across a massively bigger notion, the Patriot Act.
You need to motivate and absolutely convince the citizenry that they need to make a change from the original plan in the Constitution about how senators are chosen and sent to Washington. Oh, look at all that corruption going on in the state houses, the smoke-filled rooms, the shenanigans – let’s do it this other way and all of those bad things will go away!
You need to motivate and absolutely convince the citizenry that they need to support the Patriot Act to protect all of us from terrorists doing terrible things even if it means contravening protections set forth in our Constitution, everyone needs to be screened, for example, when entering the country so we know if people are here taking flying but not landing lessons.
It is horribly apparent that all the corruption that was used to motivate support for the Seventeenth Amendment was simply gathered up, transferred and concentrated in that hothouse called the US Senate, to create new and more aggressive cultivars of corruption to prey upon Americans.
In the time since the Patriot Act was put into law, have you felt safer as a citizen? Does it not seem irrational to implement this thing called the Patriot Act to safeguard our nation while at the same time ushering in millions of unknown people who have entered our country?
That’s an interesting analogy, I will be considering that possibility as I continue to learn about how our nation has for so long been led so far astray from our principles and potential.
The wolf gets into the hen house while the farmer is sleeping. But there were other factors at play.
It’s easier than that. You do need an event to use as the “trigger”. You don’t have to convince the people. Merely provide a long list of “experts” saying how necessary the bill/amendment is. Most people have delegated thinking to those elected and will go along.
I opine that within say 10 months an “insider” accidentally
leaks that amongst the bulldoze back better planning is
taking a look at ERADICATING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Leave the dinosaur rino’s drowning in the dc watering
hole. After seeing psychobabble reaction continue review
and consider. Remember JFK paraphrase that we do this cuz it is hard. And so it shall be.
10,000%!
To the Ramparts!
At least call these Crap Weasels…
Sneaky rat eyed basturds.
The moment it became clear that the filibuster could be ended with 51 votes, it functionally ceased to exist. There is no longer a 60 vote requirement for any bill or confirmation. That’s why it is called the “nuclear option”. That bell can never be unrung.
RINO’s are ALWAYS snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory! It’s just what they do… dammit…
So consistently it seems they must savor our frustration.
They do not fear us.
This is the problem.
No consequences for actions.
You’re assuming the Senate scum care about anything but cash kickbacks, insider trading and selling votes.
Because most MAGA let them.
Exactly!
I am so tired of Republicans, who so willingly hand over their lunch money to the democrats.
I thought it was OUR lunch money.
Yes!
Uh, yeah, but they seem to take it from us at will in unimaginably astronomical amounts, while we stand by slack jawed and let them do it. More fools we citizens/voters.
I am even more tired of Democrats, who steal the lunch money of the people.
Yes, crush them. Expose them. Primary them. Problem is, the people aren’t aware. Too busy raising kids & paying bills. We can primary them starting with John Cornyn. When is Thune up? We can email them. Question for Dr Sundance, how do we educate the voters? We know the problem. How do we solve it?
Cornyn, cassidy, tillis up in 26
…plus ernst, the turtle, capito, and collins….can flush a quarter of these filthy swamp rats in one cycle !!
It has and remains my opinion that Trump turned the other cheek at the crimes of Hillary et al. the first time, and he should NOT do it again. If Trump et al. do not crush them this time, in the long run, this will have all been for naught. This was a revolution of the American people, and we must treat it as such.
Well said and let’s MAKE IT COUNT!
No. This was a bad idea when Dems wanted to do it, and it’s just as bad now if GOP wanted to. The senate is already too majoritarian; it was designed to be a protector of minority rights and the filibuster is one of the tools to do so. This is not the way.
you must not be understanding it.
the need for 60 votes allows for a few to become money stuffing locations. with that comes disgusting additions to the bills.
drop to 51 and you dont get the disgusting add ons.
am i way off on this . thats what it looks like to me
a 51 vote focused bill doesnt provide much cover for backstabbing
That’s what I got out of it. If we are in the minority, IMO we would want our position protected from one single vote to nix it. The problem, as I see it, is how the amendments become the payoff vehicles. I would opine that most regular people, including myself, don’t realize how the payoff operation via the amendments is carried out seamlessly and silently, without much fanfare.
“I would opine that most regular people, including myself, don’t realize how the payoff operation via the amendments is carried out seamlessly and silently, without much fanfare.”
yep
getting this message out is key to making the mask come off.
It’s still going to be 51 for budget reconciliation.
Nothing has changed.
Fear mongering is hideous – but it has an audience.
SMH
Thank you, Sundance!
Shouldn’t this be decided after the new Senators have been sworn in to the Senate?
This is an example of not getting what we wanted turning out to be a good thing – we were urging votes in having Rick Scott as Senate Majority Leader – or at least, he seemed to be not AS BAD as Thune and Cornyn – the old lesser of two or three evils or four evils –
for the moment, John Thune is the Senate Majority Leader but Rick Scott looks like a McConnell Mush Ball like the rest of them so was it really such a great loss? More will be revealed.
“Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place. A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.” – Sundance
That is actually beautiful, isn’t it? A revelation. We did not get stuck with Scott as Senate Majority Leader, but he is one of them and does not grasp – or pretends not to grasp – what that Majority meant and what we the voters were saying, that we want the Senate Republicans to be massively empowered to help President Trump; therefore, Rick Scott should not ever be at the top of any MAGA list for Senate Majority Leader.
“High road”. Mealy-mouthed BS again.
Not that I am a big fan of Jonah Goldberg (though I greatly loved his book “Liberal Fascism”) but there was a put-down he concocted for the French which we might apply to our “High Road” Republicans in the Senate: “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”.
I thought Willie the Groundskeeper on the Simpsons came up with “cheese-eating surrender monkeys.”
But it’s a great comment no matter what…
Steph – that may be so, that it was on the Simpsons – I think I saw it over on lucianne.com – Lucianne Goldberg (Jonah’s mother) started lucianne.com during the hubbub over the Lewinsky affair – I saw that description with reference to an article by Jonah.
This makes me so sick to my stomach! Every single time they get power they screw things up…
What is WRONG with these damned people!
Two wings, one bird. Two sides, same coin.
They do not see Congress as the way we see it regarding power.
they are comfortable no matter the numbers in diverting Federal Money from us to them
They like things the way they are and while they give lip service to supporting President Trump they really don’t want him upsetting the apple cart so they pull stuff like this.
In 2016, President Trump was a babe in the woods. This time around, he knows how the game is played. The SC has made it clear that the executive branch is the President’s, and that is a card that he did not possess eight years ago. He is now much better positioned to make deals, and that is how I expect him to handle the Senate.
Republicans always fall on their own sword. All for the money. No wonder they allowed Arizona, Wisconsin, and maybe Pennsylvania senate races to be stolen. The evil or ignorance always comes out. Pray for a trick up the Donald’s sleeve. God help us.
The Swamp will protect itself, no matter what. After nearly a half century of both parties vastly enriching themselves, do you think they are going to cede their power easily? DC is an entire trillion-dollar industry they and major corporations run. 100% dems and 60% Rs hate Trump’s guts and will do whatever it takes to obstruct and stop his agenda. This is the fight – DC has already drawn the lines. The next 4 years will be the swamp wins, or we do. Buckle up.
Has anyone heard the Tick Tock warning from Sean Hannity or John Solomon as of late. Wouldn’t these nominations and the battle about to ensue warrant that alarm?
NO SENSE OF URGENCY…This is all a mirage….
“I say, crush them.”
The more I read Sundance the more I like him. Thank you for dropping the truth bombs and thank you for turning me from the dark side of the force!
To hear the Lamentations of their women… Crush. Indeed.
Except for Trump and few AF candidates my mind’s eye will view them as communists, not the phony monikers Demons or Repukes.
The money grubbers are benefitting themselves and China, they most certainly are not working for us.
The confirmation hearings are gearing up to be an unnecessary blood sport, the only reason being to save their own slimy skins.
We will know the guiltiest by the loudest critic.
Go ahead, make our day!!
This makes using recess appointments more necessary.
After all the pain the deep sh8t state put the Trumpster through since 2015, and in light of his (our) decisive 2024 election victory, he deserves to have EVERY SINGLE ONE of his cabinet nominees quickly confirmed. If the senate drags its filthy feet, then recess appoint the entire cabinet and get on with the Peoples’ business. MAGA.
I still believe these people have no inkling of what’s coming.
There’s one simple solution to this issue have President Trumps OSHA director go into the Kstreet and Jstreet office buildings and label them unfit for habitation and if the lobbyists move to another building in DC condemn that one too until they’re out of DC
move HQs.
force lobbying to move around.
This is why Mitch and the Maricopa County Crooks worked so hard to keep Kari Lake out of the Senate.
She would have actually represented AZ citizens. The “Club” can’t allow that.
Sundance, is your solution to retain the 51 cloture but without amendments? If so, in a perfect world where almost all the republicans vote for America first, how do needed changes (not payoff changes) get made to the bill (for example deleting a provision in the bill’s text that is contrary to America First?
I initially thought not having amendments allows bad provisions to go through, especially budget bills where the horrifying (to most) government shutdown will be the result. But I now clearly see the payoff scheme. Can the payoff schemes be defeated by voting on every amendment before the full bill is voted on?
best path is PDJT says what he wants – and the Senate and House write the exact bill. anyone that varies is targeted for primary and removal from any power
Is that Bernie Bro that “Popped” up the baseball game available?
…Asking for a friend.
These FILTHY SENATORS (Every Damn One) are the Real Deplorables.
BEYOND CONTEMPT For these Vermin.
AMERICA SPOKE!!!
DO YOUR DAMN JOB
Work for us?? I gave up that notion years ag.
What a wicked web the uniparty weaves
.
The rules are like the fine print in an insurance policy that doesn’t pay off by kicking you in the butt when you file a ckaim.
America filed a claim in 2024 by voting.
The fine print is now kicking in.😳
Understand that these Political Leeches only leave their blood sucking after the Host dies.
The USSA Feral Reserve Debt dollar is doomed and so are the Leeches. The blood is Rancid becoming Worth less and less.
democRats and rinoRats are Rats.
Back in the day, I remember the PINK Slip operation, faxed in by the Thousands. Trump has set the table as best in be expected. We are his troops, and we have our orders.
FGOPe
Fwinred
Idiots
is it stupid to screw you and personally profit from it… increasing their family’s wealth and security, while also showing credibility to the uniparty that you are reliable to down ballot steal a win for you each election
We’ve already been through this from 2016-2020, and then had four more years afterward to really dig into the legal options available to a sitting President and formulate a plan. Starting on January 20th, the proverbial floor drops and the noose snaps taut. Let’s see ’em get out of THIS one!
The 2026 election starts here, with these Republican senators who will not support President Trump. Flush them out. And if they are running in 2026, turn them out. MAGA-tize the Senate and the House!
Cornyn, collins, cassidy, tillis, turtle, ernst, capito all up for reelection in 2026…
70+ years old with a 6 year senate bid ahead, can eat us alive and move on without desire of re-election.
got to be some other way to deter…
It looks like it is true that Thune is McConnell 2.0.
The uniparty is gearing up to fight the Trump agenda.
Cornyn is McConnell 2.0
Thune will chart his own path.
Watch & Learn
Nope.
The real battle is to purge the New GOP, the America First Party of the establishment RINOs. The civil war has arrived. MAGA is winning. THey have gotten rid of the Bushes, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Kinzinger, the Cheneys. There are plenty more. Most visible Cornyn, McConnell, etc.
Ef’ em
Do not give them one sigle inch of the high ground we hath just recovered…
Not. One. Inch.

Do not despair Patriots!
It is not stupidity, though they are syupid, it is just that they want the Democrats to cover for them
Just keep the 51—-idiots!
Regarding the Senate ramping up to hinder Trumps objectives……again. I think based on the 6-3 SCOTUS ruling of the executive power, much of the stuff he ran on……or at least the big picture, “I’m doing stuff you voted for.”, stuff, he can do from the Oval Office and ignore congressional whining. Get several of his cabinet picks quickly confirmed and it just adds more, “we are doing stuff you asked for”, to the tally sheet going into 2026. And regardless of Senate slow crawling stuff, Trump will be doing stuff his coalition asked for and the Senate Republicans will benefit despite their desire not to benefit. “Damn him, we are adding more to our majority despite our best efforts to get back in the minority.”
Just to make sure I have this straight:
You read this correctly.
Seems like a MAGA person would be more careful with their wish list – right?
Unless they’re not really America First & actually loathe the New Coalition.
Is that a dig at me? I am just worried our short term victory will become a thorne in our side. Since I don’t trust republicans nor the fickle public with their short attention spans, I am trying to think ahead to how we combat this scenario later when we don’t have a majority. President Trump was a big part of the impetus getting wins for some of the new senators, and he won’t be running in 2026 to generate the same level of turnout and excitement for the senators coming up in 2026.
So I ask again -I know we are focused on this strategy to gain immediate wins for PDJT. What happens if/when the dems have a majority of 2 or 3 senators since we know that dems vote as a herd, doing what their leaders call for?
R’s can abolish the filibuster now and reestablish it in January 2029 if a D
winssteals the Presidency in 2028.I’ve given up on making Republicans act like Republicans. I think what we’ve needed all along is a sneak attack, one that every RINO understands intuitively.
We need to elect DINOs to thwart all these RINOS. Think about that. RINOs have no opposition, they go right along with the democrats. The only way to change that dynamic is to move to the other side. Then, and only then, will there be true opposition to correct their UNiparty construct.
The best MAGA people need to infiltrate the DEMOCRAT side of the UNiparty. Don’t make me say it again.
You can always count on republicans to bail out the democrats’ sinking ship.
SD- You’re letting them off too easy by saying the senate Rs are stupid. You’ve trained us to know that these are the same as the Dems and they don’t have a daylight in the way either sees Trump and MAGA. This is by design. I pray for all the RINOs to be primaried or to be in an inconsequential minority in the house and the senate but it’s going to take monumental effort to get there. But I’m hopeful.
I think cutting off children’s genitals would be a bridge too far even for “high road” Republicans.
The Republican Senators are going to choke on the win we gave them. Color me surprised…🙄
Yep! And I, for one, am NOT cheering. Compromising with evil makes for lousy legislation. Ptoo! This majority will be short lived. Reality will engage.
Not again! Another arrogant message from the uniparty that they answer only to the super rich, world power players, and feel no obligation whatsoever to the people who merely vote for them and pay taxes.
Same shit, different day. Republicans always decide to take the “high road” which is littered with downed trees, roadblocks. Enough is enough – we ran out of cheeks to turn long ago, play by the rules THEY wanted. Crush this internal enemy to our great Republic.
