-they are working on it

Our job is to make it as difficult as possible for them to do those things as they will drag the country down. Doing nothing (especially when couched as doing nothing to keep them from doing something) just makes their job that much easier when they get back into power.

They are going to use it anyway. They let in 20 million illegals.. they have cheated, stolen elections, assassinated people, bla bla bla and you actually think that they are going to abide by the rules with this fillerbuster? It will be the very first thing they do whenever they gain power again.

Sorry guys but it is practically life or death of our country and people like you want to play pattiecake with these evil people that hate our guts? frick that. Take the fricking gloves off and deal with it in 13 years when they might gain their power back

If they were to do away with the filibuster they could pass the mandatory voter ID law. Legal residents only allowed to vote. Photo ID required. That would effectively end any chance of a democratic majority. They are still cheating their asses off in the elections and look no further than The New Jersey Guto race.

The GOP cannot afford to sit back and let the judicial cesspool in DC cherry pick what they can fund. The future is now and they must act.

How long do you think any of these ideas would last with the Dem judges ready to strike every one of them down.

Do you not notice that the Trump admin is complying with every single Dem judge demand even while it is being appealed?

Why?

Because Trump knows, his biggest fear, is to lose it all in the midterms and face impeachment and criminal lawsuits where he'll die in jail.

Even if we dropped the 60 margin on a senate vote it would still not result in the creation of new law. The last year has shown us this. Even when the GOP pass legislation or Trump makes EOs they are reversed in the courts.

The GOP don't know how to fight this. Trump doesn't as well. TD PT board is full of people who don't seem to get this

yeah like that hadn't been happening anyway. The progressive loons are absolutely going to do this. They will also expand the SC, install the green new scam, give amnesty/citizenship to Joetato's 15 million illegals plus the other 10 million or so that are also here, and god knows what else.

I think it's a mistake to do it but it absolutely will happen as soon as they regain the senate. Harry Reid opened this box a crack in 2013 and it will only get wider

Why can't he simply decree all of this stuff?

Strange how releasing all of the Epst
he never "promised" to do so. He was asked if he'd have any problem with the Epstein files being released twice during his campaign. Both times, he said he'd have no problem with them being released.

You can still criticize his administration for not releasing them without lying about the situation.

Were you here in 2020 to 2024? I was and that is what we had.

Plus, they will kill the filibuster if they regain power anyways.

The feckless RINO’s that hate Trump would shoot down all of those. At least half his party in Congress wants him to fail

Do we think these are going to be direct laws or funding-based ones?

Some of these are state-based policies where a federal law wouldn't do much, like the no cash bail and trans-sports.

The Voter ID and MIV ones would lead to litigation I reckon.

They would ban voter ID for all elections, make MIV mandatory nationwide, expand the USSC to 21 or something, make PR a state, etc.

The threat of the DEMs using this far greater than what the GOP will gain

And what would the next Democratic majority and POTUS use it for?

With voter ID, no mail in voting, and no illegals in the U.S. you won’t see a Democrat majority anytime soon

The money to Ukraine was given without legislation? I seem to remember some votes happening for funding of Ukraine. I may be mistaken though.

Need to wait on Supreme Court ruling on the VRA in regards to minority majority districts.

If they strike that down and red states redraw districts then end the filibuster because odds of Dems winning all 3 branches anytime soon will be next to none.
