BREAKING: Sinema to deliver a Senate floor "double down" against Biden's filibuster attacks

hotair.com

it's amazing to me that (2) democrats are what is killing the entire entitlement dreams of the "progressives" out there. the most important thing to me is we have the "rule of the law / land" and everyone must adhere to it.

in 2006 schumer said ending the filibuster would end democracy.
while trump was in power, they used it 314 times.

it's well established and has been used by the left hundreds of times in recent years alone.

yet now that a few votes stop them from getting everything they and they alone want (and how "old" does that mindset sound, 3-6 years old?) they say the same tool that kept us from becoming a banana republic is now making us one.

we can't keep changing the rules to one sides advantage. doing so in recent administrations all around has put us where we are today. we now either change rules/laws or simply ignore them and dare someone to come after us.

that day is coming. all the entitled will not go away quietly. a child never does. but here we are with the open attacks on sinema and manchin for no other reason than they are in the way of the children getting all the candy they want.

Hey....democrats.......you loved it when John Mccain was an asshole to republicans and you called him a Maverick.....how do you shitheads like your two mavericks.....?

They're squealing like the stuck pigs that they are!!

and here it is! thank you and goodnight!

Yet she's still is spewing the party line on the commiecrats rigging elections. Virtually every time they claim voter suppression, new voting records are set, has to be the worse suppression tactics, EVER!

[OKTexas]

It hasn't effected my life one bit. He only had to lower the standard to a simple majority vote for the SC nominees to pack the court with hacks. The two Democrats are living in a world of make believe to think the next time the Neo-GOP have non super-majority control that they wont do away with it to stop the Democrats from blocking their legislative agenda. Trumpybear has already called for them to do it.

Oh you mean like last year when the commiecrats used the filibuster 327 times, yet it wasn't done away with. Run along hack you don't know what you're talking about.

[AzogtheDefiler]

Me too. It shows people where the senators stand on voting rights. Not as if anyone paying attention did not already know.

Not their fault. We voted them in. We are the dumbasses.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Sinema is so full of shit. Neither she nor Manchion can articulate WHY the filibuster must stay in place. It's anti democratic and in its current form, completely stifles debate. Being able to "phone in" a filibuster is ludicrous.

Like gerrymandering, filibusters are only cool when they benefit democrats

Because you support what they are doing. We have established this. Everyone who buys the Big Lie also supports all of the legislation designed to make voting harder or to enable republican Statelegislatures to throw out batches of votes. This is not coincidence.

This point needs to be drummed home to Americans, over and over and over.

ID should be required to vote. If I need to show ID to get into a Celtics game, voting shouldn’t be an issue.

Save the smoke and mirrors for someone more gullible, my man.

You keep lying to yourself. Getting an ID isn’t difficult.

 

[DGS49]

I keep waiting for the Leftists to present us with Exhibit A. Where is this pathetic bastard who will be prevented from voting by a photo ID requirement? I seriously want to see him, talk to him, find out exactly what his problem is.

Has he ever tried to get into a federal building? Can't do it. Tried to board a plane? Can't do it. And on and on and on.

 

[lantern2814]

You are correct the republicans were given the opportunity to vote NO, just as the democrats had the opportunity to exercise fiscal responsibility in their vote. Two decided to follow common sense and vote for America. The other 48 senators chose to follow the wrong partisan path and let party stand before country. FIFTY-TWO senators voted against Biden's idiocy.

Yet there are no stories about the 50 Republicans. Because everybody KNEW where they stood. It’s 2 DEM Senators that are the focus of all the ire from the left. They are all that really matters. Those two keep the Dems from 50 where Heels Up Harris would break the tie.

 

[lantern2814]

You keep lying to yourself. Getting an ID isn’t difficult.

They tried that “difficulty” argument in North Carolina years ago. The Dems got embarrassed when it was revealed that a free photo ID was available to every resident they presented as a hardship case within 15 minutes of where they lived. Makes you wonder how those black people Dems think are too stupid to get an ID will ever manage to get those vaccine passports they want too.

Let me remind you these politicians are there to represent the country--not march lockstep. Just because the 50 republicans voted for fiscal responsibility and American values and two democrats followed their consciences and voted with them does not make it wrong. What is sick is that only two did. That is what is wrong with the communist democrat party today.

Yeah it is. The filibuster, in its current form, stifles debate. One guy sitting on the toilet can object to legislation and it never gets brought up for discussion. That seem democratic to you? If you object to a piece of legislation, you should be able to articulate that argument and attempt to convince others to your side. The filibuster for legislation is bullshit.

Bullshit.

One guy cannot do anything, 40 can.

And therein is the purpose of the filibuster, to give the minority a voice.

It is unfucking believable that the reality of the current court has not shown you why you do not fuck with the filibuster. It was the DEMS that opened that gate and let the republicans walk right through it. How can you not learn the obvious lesson.

The party of minority rights want to ensure the minority have no voice. Insane.

 

[FA_Q2]

Carving out an exception for voting rights would be okay. However, Democrats simple need to quit whining and get to work turning out the votes despite what the obstacle Fascist Neo-Republican try to erect. Get out and vote in the mid terms.

No it fucking would not be okay, it would be an end to the filibuster period.

It was not the republicans that took away the filibuster for nominees, that was the democrats and it fucked them over when it was time for them to have a voice in SCOTUS nominees.

And here they are, doing the same fucking insane thing again.

 

[Orangecat]

and here it is! thank you and goodnight!

Wow, a politician with standards. I like Sinema.

 

[basquebromance]

In politics, you don’t want people with big money angry at you. But in order to accomplish progressive ends, you often have to anger them, and Senator Sinema doesn’t have that type of guts
