Feinstein is out of her chair

Yup she gave it up a while ago.

+1 if we continue as we've started. Signing far left policies in the first day is not a good way to start off.




You are a fake Dem. "we" my @ss.

Serious question:

How is the Senate going to run the impeachment trial if the rules are not in place for the Senate to run its business?

I just heard it’s happening today.
I truly don’t understand the hold up.
I can’t keep straight who wants the filibuster and why.
It all makes me sleepy.

Wait. Is this still a problem? Time to govern.

McConnell is trying to force the Dems to use the Nuclear Option and blow up the filibuster. Manchin is trying to hold back, in the name of "bipartisanship."

It's a dumb game of chicken. Just remove the filibuster for this very narrow circumstance - when the Senate is tied at 50-50 apiece and the Senate is trying to determine the rules.

It happened with RBG. There’s a lot of octogenarian Dem senators who could get COVID and die rather quickly. Seriously, do not put this past the Republicans. They will always try for the Hail Mary pass and occasionally it works out for them.


This is a disgusting comment. Obviously, you did not pay attention to the left celebration of the death of Scalia. Ghoulish.


But aren't there just as many old or oldish Republicans? I mean at this point you could poison McConnell and everyone would believe it was from natural causes.
