didn't take long for him to start walking back his "moderate" status and snap to party lines. It's coming as soon as Dems are able.

Weird. The founding fathers were intrinsically worried about the tyranny of the majority, hence why they created methods to try to prevent such.

"We can't do that because the democrats would use it when they get power!"

It does need to go but being too chickenshit to do it yourself is on point for the Senate GOP.

Hopefully they do because it would probably backfire. They can't make any laws without the executive branch so they would blow up Congress without any reward. They can pass all the retarded bills they want. In reality they will wait until a Dem wins in 2028.

Can't believe this fig is going to be a US Senator from Texas for the next 40 years.

GOP pussed out again always play nice when dems tell u to ur face what they will do and they do it.

always do

no killer instinct

when you go nuke option tho u best had make sure it works.

you have to go all out to destroy them.

see nazi claus von staufenberg who tried to kill hitler. the coup failed and they were executed.

if you changed shite to cram everything through you had best not lose power again.

I say this with zero humor. The far right and groypers are the stupidest mofos on planet earth. They really think that people are going to elect a bunch of incel weirdos instead of the republicans that got voted out this cycle because they're "America first".

frick that inbred little freak. A textbook case of someone who's spent his entire life getting bullied finally getting a taste of power and letting it go straight to his fricked up looking head.

What’s the point of busting the fillibuster only for the president to veto it

Dems skipping the foreplay with our retarded republican kin. They are bricked up and ready to clap cheeks with no lube.

The filibuster is a Senate rule that isn’t mentioned in any founding document and wasn’t utilized until decades after the founders were dead.
