There will be no undoing, except for secession, because no party besides the Dems will ever have another chance to win an election again,

The democrats can't end the filibuster right now. They don't have enough votes, unless they get a GOP defector AND Manchin and Sinema go back on their word. The 50 GOP senators can simply not show up to the chamber and there would not be a quorum to end the filibuster. You have to have 51 for a quorum.
Having said that, the democrats are only 1 vote away from getting around the quorum obstacle. Which is why the 2022 midterms are insanely important.

When was the last time Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski or Mitt Romney did something for the greater good?

The minute that ZERO congressmen decided to stand up against election fraud was the turning point in our country.
It’s going to burn. Accept it and make the best of it.
RINO’s won’t save it.

That depends on how you define “greater good.”

This is when you need to take a break from the internet and the news. Go fishing or something to get some fresh air.

I have yet to see any evidence that the sudden removal of everyone in the beltway from existence is a bad thing. Seriously, the states can run themselves if allowed to. Every state except Vermont is required by law to balance their budgets and Vermont does it anyway.

Thanks for posting that Micky, with you as a source it's some of the best validation that my comment/thinking on this was SPOT THE frick ONNN!

Y’all act like the filibuster is some Holy Grail.
The Constitution allows the Senate to make its rules. What they can giveth, they also can taketh away.

The Senate should never be at the mercy of any political party to begin with.
The purpose of the 17th Amendment was to make it easier to put Senators into office, but it is time to remove it.
If it makes it more difficult to seat because of a divided governor/legislature mix...GOOD.
Making laws is supposed to be hard. A society of few laws that are strictly enforced is better than a society of many laws selectively enforced.
When the States were denied the right to remove their own Senators, the Senate no longer represented its states.

There is nothing unconstitutional about removing the filibuster.
It all sounds like sour grapes. Don’t you wish the Republicans could follow through like the Democrats, instead of sniveling in a corner somewhere?

Yep. You’re spot on. Let’s all hope another country nukes our nation and kills millions. You’re definitely thinking clearly.

My party? I’d rather be dead than a Democrat.

No, I wish my senators were listed as SENATOR-WA instead of D-WA.
Even the combined brain dearth of Olympia and Inslee could send two more competent senators than Murray and Cantwell.
I've done more for the State of Washington in the 4 months I've worked for it than the 30 years that Patty Murray has been a Senator from Washington.
