So Why Doesn't John Thune Just End The Senate Filibuster Once And For All?

[Unkotare]

I do, actually. Intellectually dishonest people like you have wrecked the country, voting for a ******* traitor like Trump who tried to steal the 2020 election.

You are obviously not only intellectually dishonest....but not very smart, either.

You think he didn't graduate from computer repair school like you?

Go away, mentally ill MAGA simp.

Go away, mentally ill MAGA simp.

Is that all you have to say?

Agreed in part, disagree in part. The politicians are on the TV, so ya, it is in the media.

GOP: We want ensure no federal dollars are used for illegal aliens to provide health care outside of emergency care REQUIRED under Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA).

DEM: We want to extend the ACA subsidies for the period of the BBB so that American citizens don't see huge premium increases or lose coverage.

So given those positions you negotiate a deal where for each dollar a state spends on providing non-EMTALA care to illegals, federal dollars are reduced by 1. That means the state will be spending TWICE the cost ($1 State + $1 Federal).



That's none of his business, knowing the votes will be their is * * ALL * * he needs. As Majority Leader he can of course get a head count of HIS OWN party, but he has no such business making such demands from the other party.


And given the way that DEMs were told "Sit down and shut up", "There is a new sherriff in down", "We won, you lost, suck it" and how the DEMs were ignored during passage of the BBB and it being passed by a simply majority under reconsiliation...

Shumer has no reason to trust the GOP and vote now for a clean CR and we'll negotiate later.

you didn't mind when the dems under Obama did that to pass Obama care.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Wrong.

I don't "mind" any legislation passed based on the simple majority. That is what the Constitution calls for. (Except for certain exceptions like veto override, amendment, etc.)

I don't mind the BBB being passed with a simple majority.

But the MAGA in Congress have been very clear, and I paraphrase:

• "Sit down and shut up"
• "There's a new sherriff in town"
• "Elections have consequences, and you lost"
• "We won, you lost, suck it"

The GOP didn't want to "negotiate" with the DEMs for the BBB to be passed. Now the GOP want the DEMs to sign off on a CR with later "negotiations", I'm not supprised the DEMs don't believe them.

Now the GOP needs some DEM votes and are wondering why they won't play ball.

It's not because Thune cares about preserving the quaint, racist Senate tradition of the filibuster. Please.

Thune also knows that Trump will probably steal future elections, so he is not really concerned about the Democrats regaining control of the Senate in the future, either.

Secretly, Thune knows the Big Ugly Bill is a disaster for the country and that ending the Obamacare subsidies will also be a disaster. He is hoping that Trump and Mike Johnson finally give in and negotiate a compromise with the Democrats. This is the real reason that Thune won't end the filibuster.

It's because republicans have more morals than democrats do. Has nothing to do with Trump.

 

[whitehall]

All kinds of assumptions by the left while democrats continue to hold the Country hostage to providing health care to illegal aliens. Should we ignore Schumer when he says "the shutdown gets better and better for the democrat party"?

JUST LIKE IN THE PAST THE DEMS REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE REPUBLICANS SHOW US YOUR STRIDENT POSTS CONDEMNING THEM WHEN THEY DID THAT?

Stupid post ...

The filibuster is a very important governance tool that anyone in his right mind would hesitate to eliminate. Harry Reid did it for Obamacare and it bit them in the ass with the supreme Court. Thune saw all of that.

Not a stupid as you, Kleetus.

Bullshit....it's a relic of the racist Jim Crow era. Always has been.

That's why no other democracy has this idiotic filibuster.

Are you saying he's not smart enough to get a B.A. in computer repair, like you?

Your out of your mind...
The filibuster has nothing to do with racism.

First of all many thousands of people have gained a BA in electronics. You paint yourself into a corner every time you open your mouth.

Secondly the filibuster has been used effectively by both parties to ensure that anything that gets passed through Congress has at least some bipartisan support.

I'm sorry but you're an idiot.

Spending the rest of your life crawling on the ground turning over rocks looking for racism that's not there.

It has everything to do with it, simp. --

How the Racist History of the Filibuster Lives on Today

By blocking the passage of the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the filibuster continues its long history as an institutional tool used to oppress Black and brown Americans.

You're so ******* stupid. I said nothing about having a BA in anything. You just believe what your fellow racist MAGA troll buddies say.

I said a BA in computer repair does not exist, dipshit. Since Unkotare is an uneducated MAGA ape who never went to college, he doesn't realize that.

Prove me wrong.

Computer repair is a subfield of electronics. Lol
Unkatore is a degreed educator who presents himself quite humbly here on this board despite being both extremely intelligent and highly educated. You complete, vicarious posting puppet doofus.

Both of you are two of the most uneducated MAGA cavemen on this board. And your garbage about a "BA in electronics" or "BA in computer repair" proves it.
