McConnell Wants the Filibuster Nuked

[TNHarley]

Filibuster is not in the Constitution
It is a Senate rule that needs to be abandoned

95% of your ideology isnt in the constitution, you disingenuous hack.

Not supposed to be

How high is enough for the debt ceiling?

$100 trillion?

There should be no debt ceiling......

 

[Uncensored2008]

Filibuster used to be a rare occurrence

Since McConnell every piece of legislation requires 60 votes instead of a simple majority

Time to abandon all filibusters

Oh look, Nazi fuck Shitflinger is lying again.

Another demon got his horns.

Every time a Nazi lies, a demon gets his horns....

99% of you ideology IS in "Mein Kampf" though.

 

[blackhawk]

And the people...those who voted for those two conservadems...want the debt ceiling raised and both infrastructure bills passed.

Maybe they want all of that maybe they don’t this is another problem people who don’t live in a state claiming they know what the voters in the state want. Manchin has represented West Virginia for a long time I suspect he knows what the voters of his state want better than message board partisans want same with Sinema though she has not represented Arizona as long. Smart politicians know unless you are running for President politics is local not national if the voters in their respective state are unhappy with them they can vote them out personally I don’t see that happening.

We have tyranny ruling the country now. Hey, no worries, we'll just create a coin and say its worth a trillion. These are the idiots running the show.

Trillion-dollar platinum coin could be minted at the last minute

The coin could be deployed to help bridge the gap between the money running out and the debt ceiling increasing.

Sounds like Bitcoin

No they don't.

Making shit up like saying Trump wasn't impeached, Fruitcake?

Actually not.

The US Government CAN Constitutionally mint coins and set their value. Mint that platinum coin at a value of $1 T...deposit it in the Federal Reserve and draw loans of it. Completely legal

Everything in there is supported by you Nazi vermin.

Right down to the Kristalnacht you've waged for the last two years.

Have the Gestapo finished rounding of Der Juden, the whites yet?

Biden Says ‘Real Possibility’ Senate Democrats Change Filibuster Rules To Raise Debt Ceiling

The off-the-cuff remarks are a notable shift in the president's thinking as Democrats are frustrated by GOP efforts to prevent simple majority votes.

www.huffpost.com

McConnell has admitted that it is hugely important to raise the Debt ceiling. He admits that it would be a disaster for the economy to not do so and yet he is using the filibuster to block the bill that would raise it.

He claims that Dems could use reconciliation (which under Senate rules can not be filibustered). The problem is that reconciliation is a huge bill and takes far more time than we have . McConnell knows this. He's an expert on Senate rules and procedures.

So what is he doing? He's gambling. He's pushing our economy to the edge of the financial cliff. He is betting that Republicans will take back Congress either in 2022 or 2024.

Dems are talking about "nuking" ONLY debt ceiling bills regarding the filibuster and leaving the rest in place. That would mean that Republicans can still block large parts of the Biden agenda.

McConnell will use that as an excuse to TOTALLY nuke everything and blame it on the Dems. That's what the cynical bastard did with Judicial Appointments. He blocked almost all of Obama's lower court judicial appointments and even Cabinet appointments. As a result Dems removed the filibuster for those appointments but left the filibuster in place for Supreme Court appointments.

McConnell used that as an excuse to nuke all judicial appointments. He'll do the same here

Dems will probably HAVE to nuke the filibuster for the debt ceiling but they'd be stupid to stop there. It will be gone anyway really soon and if THEY don't nuke it...they will have lost the opportunity to push through the Biden agenda.

Of course the stumbling point are the conservadems Sinema and Mancin who don't seem to know what party they represent.

There have been 21 government shutdowns lasting more than 10 days in the past 4 decades. None resulted in chaos and Economic disaster.

You clowns have nothing but scare tactics.
