Go right ahead get rid of the filibuster it's an awesome idea

[iceberg]

If we keep the filibuster it needs to be changed back to an active event as it as intended

it needs to stop being a tool that comes and goes as the democrats wish.

when they are not in power - WE MUST HAVE IT - IT WOULD KILL DEMOCRACY IF WE DIDN'T
when they ARE in power - WE MUST GET RID OF IT, IT'S KILLING DEMOCRACY AND OUR DREAMS

if they'd play by the same rules as everyone else, much of this BULLSHIT would go away.

Was I dreaming when the democrats all went crazy when Trump nominated three US Supreme court justices and the dems' couldn't stop them????? You would think that the morons would have learned something from that experience.

What's the lesson that should have been learned?

The lesson that should have been learned is that whenever democrats change the rules to benefit themselves, eventually it bites them on the ass, in spades.

This is such a good point that I am now watching to see whether the Dems give up this idea of getting rid of the filibuster ---- right before they are expected to lose the House and the Senate. Maybe it's just a lot of gum-flapping and nothing will come of the idea.

Nothing will come of the idea only because Manchin and Sinema said they are solid "NOs" on ending the filibuster. The dems are dumb enough to do it if they had the votes.

Good point! I did read that. Manchin and Sinema are saving the Dems from themselves.

The Democrats will never learn. Just like a child who steals a chocolate bar and doesn't care about getting caught until he gets caught. The left is always been about instant gratification with absolutely no consideration for the long-term effect. Conservatism is growing in this country not progressivism. A few years ago I would have said you were crazy if you told me that.... But there's no question in my mind any longer that people of belching up the indigestible everything goes culture in favor of structure. So go ahead get rid of the filibuster and then cry like the little bitches you are later on when you wish the hell you didn't do it.

Seems like they would have learned a lesson from the Harry Reid fiasco turning around and biting them in the ass and now, with even Democrats realizing they are going to lose big at the midterms, some still want to get rid of the filibuster. It's hard to believe that they are really that stupid.

It takes 60/100 votes to get most bills to the Senate floor to be voted on. It is called Cloture. It prevents a simple majority from any party to ram bills though.

The Senate can stop a lot of the filthy Libtard bullshit passed along party lines in the House, like oppressive gun control.

However, not to worry. The Democrat shitheads will lose about 60-70 seats in the House at the mid term elections this year because of the terrible record of the Democrats and control will go to the Republicans.

You’re dreaming. Covid is killing the chances of that happening, slowly but surely. Trump is telling Repos not to show up to vote and repos are dying of covid. You’ll have to invent new ways to cheat.

I feel comfortable voting in a free state because I know the process isn't corrupt. DeSantis will make sure the Democrat filth don't seal the election here in Florida.

If I lived in a Democrat controlled state then why bother because the sonofabitiches are going to create all the ballots they will need to win.

Democrats are the scum of this country and will lie, cheat and steal to win an election. They want this country to be a Socialist shithole and think that it can be accomplished by any means necessary, including stealing elections.

The only organized voter fraud has been by Republicans. Trump is you’re idea of a truth teller ? Amazing.

To stop the campaign of voter suppression and the implementation of an infrastructure to steal future elections, it's worth it.

Senate Republicans Deploy ‘Nuclear Option’ to Clear Path for Gorsuch (Published 2017)

In bypassing a filibuster, Republicans abandoned long-held practices and will be able to confirm President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Neil M. Gorsuch, with a simple majority vote.

www.nytimes.com

Senate Republicans on Thursday engineered a dramatic change in how the chamber confirms Supreme Court nominations, bypassing a Democratic blockade of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch in a move that will most likely reshape both the Senate and the court.

After Democrats held together Thursday morning and filibustered President Trump’s nominee, Republicans voted to lower the threshold for advancing Supreme Court nominations from 60 votes to a simple majority.

And don’t forget that Democrats eat babies and harvest drugs from their bodies too. It’s amazing how long Democrat’s have been trafficking in pedophilia and not been caught. Almost as long as they have been stealing elections by promoting voter registration. Isn’t hat illegal to encourage people to vote ? According to repugs it is....especially among minorities.

Only one thing needs to happen.............Never increase the debt limit and it all ends.............Return all power to the States.....

Then they can all carry their sorry asses out of Gov't. Problem fixed..........the Founders Warned us about these self serving assholes..........

 

[wamose]

We have to get rid of the Marxists before we even think of dropping the filibuster. In reality, the reason we have the filibuster is for times like this. It's a check against renegade government.

That’s kind of a uninformed remark. It’s something you here from drop out Hannity and doofus Tucker. . Such remarks show you why conservatives are free loaders and want stuff for nothing. The debt is for services and goods ALREADY ordered and/or received by the gov from the private sector. You’re now supporting something that puts the nation into an immediate recession. It’s comments like this that demonstrate why the republicans are recession prone. They don’t pay their bills.
This is why the repo admins have had 11 of the last 12;recessions….failure to pay their bills. You guys are a joke when it comes to fiscal responsibility, let alone the conservatives weak knowledge of science.

It is majority rule

If the majority elect a House that is Democratic
And a majority elect a Senate that is Democratic
And a majority elect a President that is Democratic

They should be able to pass legislation without being blocked by the minority

Yes, we will get both houses back this year. Impeach Biden. Then the great Trump will be our President with both houses and then he can do as he pleases. Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer are making sure of it.

Seriously, do you know what Marxism is ? The filibuster is an affront to capitalism. It puts the power into the hands of only one sector of the economy, the elite donors. The biggest employer is small business which employs more then half the people of the US. Capitalism is dependent upon the govt support small businesses in the United States which the filibuster inhibits.

Impeach Biden for what ? Doing his job ? Trump was impeached for soliciting help from foreign govt in the overthrow of an election….TWICE. TRUMP HUMPERS are anti American.

I do think the GOP should impeach Biden. The awful Dems kept impeaching Trump --- with nothing but lies --- repeatedly; we need to reply in kind. Make this bad behavior cost them something.
