Why does any TV allow that to be spoken with instant bitchslap of FILIBUSTER!!!

I hear this dozens of time every day and have NEVER heard anyone rebut it.

WHY is that?

I think the point is if they couldn't achieve it then they won't be able to achieve it now

Unless there is an emergency declaration or the dems blink

The point there is this really isn’t an emergency if it can wait 2 years. This was on the back burner until the GOP got its arse handed to it in the midterms. And now, predictably, they will double down on stupid.

President Trump has accomplished more, made more deals, and got us out of even more bad deals in two years, than any president in my lifetime. Of course, that only goes back to Nixon.

I assume it's because the Dem politicians are always in such lock step, the MSM can't imagine party members ever voting in their own (or in rare cases their constituents') interests.

horseshite. With the government we’ve given ourselves, everything is on the back burner until the democrat propaganda media, or much more rarely, the American people let them know that their back-burner issue has boiled over.

The figs in Congress would never have elected Donald Trump as president, even if the republicans were the only ones allowed to vote. That’s why a wall wasn’t done in the first two years. If it is to be done, it will be because the American people continued to demand it. But any piece of shite socialist democrats can rest assured of one thing if it doesn’t happen, and that is that all of the disastrous effects of open borders we hear about every day, SHOULD rest squarely in their shoulders, along with the piece of shite republicans, who care more about popularity than upholding their oath to the Constitution.

With the media being the propaganda arm of the socialist democrat party, it will probably be blamed on these bitch republicans, and frick them if so.

I think they needed 60 votes for 1 in the senate and then you have anti-american R's in there. Just because someone is a Rep doesn't mean they support Trump. Its not like the Dem's that are a hive mentality.

What a soyboi beta excuse.

We had 2 years in complete control and couldn’t get shite done. Call that failure what it is and hold the fools in congress responsible.

They should have made the dems filibuster or put the Republicans on record against the wall so we know who to replace.

Trump's Vanity Wall wasn't an emergency until the GOP lost control of the House.

WHY is that?

Not to mention that we had never trumpers in Congress that were more reliable for a Democrat vote than republican.

Because we live in a country of morons who don't understand cloture.

Now, if people want to ask that question, how about why didn't democrats repeal the Patriot Act, change immigration and gun control laws when they had 60 votes.

Yeah. That is the question to ask any arse clown who tries to use that bullshite question now.

And by that statement you prove you are a moron.

Civics 101. Look up cloture then come back you clown.

Why didn't Obama change laws for immigration and guns when he had the 60 votes?

Come back when you have a brain or an actual truth.
