Trump is right about the nuclear option. GOP needs to do it.

Guys, Trump is calling for the nuclear option for the third time. His instincts are the best in the world. The GOP should listen to him. NO negotiation. Just put the hammer down on the nuclear option. Any compromise on the failed 0bamacare will be painted by the leftwing media bastards as capitulation. You do NOT go back and undo the hard-fought BBB that you won. Do you people want to see Schumer up there crowing about the GOP caving? Because that's what they would do. They would not be gracious and praise the GOP for "being reasonable". Why does only Trump seem to understand this?

...at least for CRs, Appropriations, and rescissions

Wrong. Throwing 20,000,000 voters under the bus before the mid-terms is a dumb idea. Best to negotiate a subsidy and other improvements, paying for them with DOGE savings.

Unless Thune goes nuclear the BBB is DOA. If Thune goes nuclear and passes the BBB into law, Schumer will be going berserk.

I'd love to see ACA repealed. But for ****'s sake why are today's politicians such lazy pussies?? They should do their job and build consensus for repealing it. It's not a hard argument to make. The program is a feeding trough for the insurance industry and everyone knows it.

But these dickless wonders can't be bothered with going to the trouble. So they'll just fling turds instead.

BBB was already passed into law. Why on earth would you allow them to undo it?

Apparently the BBB needs to be put into Appropriations Bills and Rescission Bills.

If they aren't passed, and are blocked by the filibuster, all we will get is CR, CR, CR, CR, then the mid-terms then if the democrats win one or both houses the BBB is dead.

We need to end the filibuster and get the BBB appropriated.
