Bro, Trump started WWIII a long time ago. We’re at WWIV now, possibly even WWV already.

If they do this, then they must pass everything from Trump's campaign agenda, especially election reform. If they are just going to do it for a CR, then this is a terrible idea. No half measures.

No it doesn't require 60. Funnily enough, the filibuster is nothing more than a rule passed by the senate for the senate, and rules can be changed with a simple majority vote.

I think both parties enjoy having the filibuster because it's a nice excuse to not get anything done.

Not a wise move, the filibuster is the only protection the minority has and if the republicans lose the majority the dems will run rampant. The filibuster foster more bipartisanship discussion on legislation. There’s a reason neither side had done this

The bots and meat puppets have been pushing this shite for weeks now. Terrible idea and clearly many people will just cheer for whatever he says, no matter what it is.

I’m surprised the press isn’t already calling for it and blaming the Republicans for not using it because,…. ‘It’s for the children!!!!!’

Interesting.

However by now Trump should KNOW that Republicans in Congress do not give one damn what he thinks

This is good. Time to put the peddle to the metal instead of being afraid of the Dems and what they can do later. Did not work before.

He is a genius and he is stable. That was one of the finest presidential quotes I’ve ever heard. I literally love the man and would take a bullet for him. He’s that good of a leader for us

To be fair, it's the only protection the minority has in the senate. In order to make a law you need it to pass the senate, the house and the presidents desk. In my opinion, if you've won the house, the senate and the presidency you should at least be able to get some of your agenda passed. And if people hate it they vote you out next election.

The filibuster just leads to more kicking cans down the road, more executive over reach, and more partisan fighting.

Asmon has some good takes but this guy is not conservative. He's just against illegal immigration (and DEI for killing video games). Just today he argued people making 40k should also get food stamps and we don't give enough free shite out.

It’s not clear to me that they have 50 votes to remove the filibuster

Many people are ill informed.

If we let the clock run out til 0001/2026, then tons of Obama’s communist laws are sunsetted.

We’d be stupid to “negotiate” whatsoever.

We need to steamroll them, hurt them,,take their pulpits and voices and act like they never existed existed.

Oh You Glorious Orange King Bastard.

Never negotiated with the left, they are like Muslims and/or sleeping with a rattlesnake, never will I trust the folks from Santiago & what else?

Are you really naive enough to think the communists won’t use it anyway first chance they get?
