and require 51 votes to pass legislation as opposed to 60.

They will ram through legislation that will be the final nail in our coffin. Someone tell me something positive.

Ok. You have the right to ignore them. The constitution doesn’t give government the right to tell us what to do, it tells them what their limitations are and that we have the right to tell them what to do.

As screwed as we allow ourselves to be. My belief is the reckoning is being forced upon us….The question is how will we respond?

It might be the best thing for us, honestly. We need them to go full authoritarian and reveal who they are quickly and we need to learn how to fight back and stop clinging to "we'll get them in 22.

You don’t need them forgiven. You should be able to pay them off no problem. You knew what you were getting into

What if I told you that Schumer was the first to enact the nuclear option in order to force through Obama’s judicial appointments.

Democrats got mad when Turtle used the exact same rules to get Trump’s appointments through.

Exactly. The Democrats were the ones to do it, then they cried foul when republicans exercised their right to go ahead with something the Democrats changed. Democrats did the nuclear option

We were screwed a long time ago. It’s just people are starting to feel it more now.

Democrats did the nuclear option for judges lower than the supreme court.

Republicans just extended the rules to include the supreme court which means republicans allowed the supreme court to be fully partisan, not the democrats

You'd be incorrect since Schumer was not the Majority leader between 2007-2014. Harry Reid was.

No, that would be appointing Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
