Those weren't just temporary suspensions?

No the filibuster has been fully killed for those type of appointments.

For anyone that is questioning the dems goal for the filibuster once they regain control, here is Schumer's own words on what they are planning on doing.

quote:

---

Voicing confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats will win the election, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he’s eyeing changes to the 60-vote filibuster rule to pass a pair of major bills that would expand voting rights nationwide.

---

quote:

---

“We got it up to 48, but, of course, Sinema and Manchin voted no; that’s why we couldn’t change the rules. Well, they’re both gone,” Schumer told reporters here Tuesday during the week of the Democratic convention. “Ruben Gallego is for it, and we have 51. So even losing Manchin, we still have 50.”

---

quote:

---

At a separate Politico event Monday, Schumer specified that the two bills he’d try to pass under the rule change are the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. He predicted there will be “consensus in my caucus to try and do that,” calling the two measures “very, very important.”

Anyone that believes that the dems aren't going to kill the filibuster the first chance they get are not paying attention to what they have already said and tried. They will kill the filibuster, and enact voting legislation that will cripple the GOP's chances of ever winning another federal election for the foreseeable future. And then they will drive this country into true authoritarian socialism/communism through legislation.

I think this is ultimately what he's going to want to do.

It's probably what he's going to have to do, especially if Kevin either gets taken out or turns on Harry (Kevin's wife will probably also be another issue for Kevin and Harry's relationship). But I think at this point in the story Harry is hoping that him & Kevin can salvage the empire. Again though, it probably won't work out like that for Harry, and he'll have to burn it all down.

Katrina Law (Jessica) has some pretty steamy scenes (full frontal at that) in Spartacus. She had a nice body, at least back then she did, and she seems to have aged pretty well.

Yeah, I always thought that was a dangerous move putting her seat at risk considering the narrow margin in the House. Even though she won her seat by a pretty decent margin, I just wouldn't trust that the NY dems wouldn't pull some shady crap to try to steal that seat and heaven forbid if the dems somehow pull one of the FL House races.

I believe he best serves the people of Alabama as a Senator where he is one of the few truly "MAGA" Senators in the Senate.

I'm not sure how he would fare as the top executive of my state, but he has already proven how he fares as the senior Senator of my state.

Along with an actual apology (which this is not), he also needs to publicly out whoever advised/pushed him to confront Trump/Vance in the Oval Office. There is no way that Zelensky pulled that stunt unless he was given assurances that he would have cover from any backlash.

If that is indeed the case, then he needs to make public what those assurances were, and who gave them to him. Until he does that, along with giving a real apology to Trump/Vance, Trump should tell him to pound sand.

Fine. Do it with your own money and your own men, if there are any left in Europe who don't worship Allah.

Exactly. If Europe wants to back Zelensky with their own money and men, then fine by me. But the US better not send another single dollar to Ukraine unless Zelensky comes back with his tail between his legs, begging for Trump's forgiveness, and ready to capitulate to whatever terms Trump deems as necessary for a peace treaty.

For Zelensky to think what he did was actually a good idea to do in the White House, to the sitting President and VP, and in front of the media...then I can't imagine how Zelensky talked to the previous administration behind closed doors. But he found out real fast that Trump and JD aren't the previous administration.

The villain McCabe/Quinn knows who Reacher is. The moment Beck announced him his boss would’ve had Reacher killed especially after Duke was eliminated and Beck claimed Angel was part of the kidnapping attempt.

---

Yeah, there's no was that Quinn doesn't know who Reacher is. Reacher's name was on his uniform when he caught/tried to kill Quinn. And there's no way that Quinn doesn't know the name of the guy that replaced the kid's keeper, much less the guy that took the #2 spot after Duke was killed.

Now they did go out of their way to give Quinn's juvey record that basically stated that he was a psychopath with the animal torture and whatnot, so I guess it may be possible that Quinn is willing to sacrifice Duke, Angel, and the kid's keeper if it was part of his plan to get revenge on Reacher. But I would think that for this all to be part of Quinn's master plan, the plan would've had to been made by Quinn from the jump, before Reacher even infiltrated the group, and not a spur of the moment thing that Quinn decided after Reacher's prints were ran. There just wasn't a whole lot of time to consider all of it from the time that Reacher's prints were run until they gave Reacher the spot on the team after the Russian Roulette test at the barn. And that would mean that Quinn meant for Reacher to see him at the bus stop.

That also makes we wonder of Duffy is in on it since she is the one that is going out of her way to get Reacher onto the crew, and basically breaking laws to allow Reacher to continue his work on the case.
