The Turtle Caves - McConnell Relents On Senate Filibuster Stalemate

Hey Mitch, you better hope they were not doing this when they told you they would keep the filibuster:
quote:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell dropped his demand that Democrats maintain the Senate filibuster — ending an early stalemate in the Senate that prevented party leaders from negotiating a power-sharing agreement.
Late Monday, McConnell said he was ready to move forward after two Democrats signaled they would not vote to end the legislative filibuster, assuring him that it would stay in place.
The minority leader had demanded that the filibuster rule remain in exchange for his cooperation on re-allocating power in the Senate, which is evenly divided for the first time in two decades. The Democrats control the chamber, since Vice President Harris would break any tie.

what a cuck....If we haven't seen in the last few days, say one thing, do another. They won't maintain this. I'm guessing the democrats are smarter than us.

Shouldn't the majority leader be the party not in the white house in a 50-50 senate in the interest of checks and balances?

If anyone ever thought McConnell cared about anything but retaining power I know a Nigerian Prince that can make you millions.

So it sounds like they are working on deal with trimmed down stimulus to only those “more in need”. This means millions of actual tax paying citizens (say those earning between 75-100 individually) will be dropped out of a one time tax rebate (read tax cut) at the behest of repubs..that makes total sense, blocking middle class tax cuts

Your thread title makes no sense.

Mitch is in 5D chess mode and you can’t see it. The greatest Senator is showing off his power.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but Monday was Opposite Day in case anyone was wondering.

Idiot McConnell should have gotten rid of the filibuster 4 years ago, but then again, he’s never been about winning

I don't understand this, can you explain it to me like I'm five?
So they got rid of the filibuster??

So the senate will just be an extension of the house. One party rule.
We will just grow more divided as a nation and laws will flip back and forth like a light switch.

Very confident he will be rolled by Schumer on this, no doubt.

I highly doubt that the Senate does away with the filibuster because the dems know they will be in the minority again. Plus the two dems that said they would not vote to do away with it will keep it because the threat of them deciding to vote to do away with it gives them a lot of power. If they actually vote to do away with it, then they lose that power. With all that being said, Mitch is stupid to trust Schumer and the dems, and it is time to replace Mitch as the leader of the senate GOP.
