Not exactly unexpected, Schumer’s government shutdown part 2 may be coming

So they would have to completely change the rules of the senate from the current rules?

No. They can suspend the rule (either permenantly for all legislation, or suspend it for only the item in question)
not completely change the rules of the Senate.

Which say they can be blocked via filibuster?

Yes, they can suspend the filibuster rule with a simple majority.

No it’s technically correct because that’s the current rules of the senate

No it's not technically correct to say that the DEM's can shut down the governemnt because of the filibuster.

It's technically correct to say that block legislation under current rules but the GOP can suspend the rule with a simple majority.

You really never heard of the Nuclear Option before?

Suspending a rule is changing the rule

Suspending a rule is changing the rule

Correct. But you said "completely change the rule". Not true. It can be permenant or temporary for a single transaction.

I know you are trying to nit-pik this but it's clear, a DEM filibuster can be broken by the GOP with a simple majorty to suspend the rule.

NOTE: Again I'm NOT saying it's a good idea. But it is true.

GD you're stupid.

When every Democrat votes for a shutdown, the Republicans can't get 60 votes to keep it open.
They need a super-majority to keep the government open.

You couldn’t even get all Republicans to vote for the CR so stop blaming Democrats.

Excuse me, but I don't work in the Capital.

The entire Democrat party is filled with criminals who commit crimes and are never held to account for it.

We all know this.

We also know that there are plenty of Republicans who can be implicated in Democrat's crimes.

You keep making excuses for them thru moral-relativism and never address or debunk our claims.

Frankly, you're just a massive waste of bandwidth.
