If ONLY there was SOMETHING the Republicans controlling the House Senate Presidency and Courts could DO!

You kidding me? They have been loudly blaming the party in the minority for not just capitulating with the pinky swear that the GOP would totes negotiate their terms later.

"Let's try another 6 week paid vacation. All because of the Democrats, smh" - Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, supposedly.

Sounds like the voting strategy that got us here. No wonder they think it'll work.

Called my senators yesterday. Told the R we were hurting and they needed to give in to the Democrats. Told the D I knew they were under pressure but we needed them to stand up for Medicaid, food stamps, ACA funds, etc.

"We will keep hurting people until you submit" is the language of rapists and abusers.

Is it either people who are too dumb to hide the complete dominance of their overlords, or people who are aware that there is no need to hide anything because the game is completely and irreversibly over? Do I get two guesses? If I only get one then I'll play it safe and say rapists.

Also, JD sits on a 7 year old kid, moving his arm and shouting "stop hitting yourself"

Vote for Republicans, get "consequences". Is "JD" "Vance" just saying FA, FO?

It's too bad even those that cannot vote and didn't vote for these assholes have to go through this, too.

Just as many people died in Sudan in the last two weeks as died in Gaza in the last two years.

How long will you be angry over things in the past while being deliberately ignorant of atrocities that are happening right now?

They were always nothing more than asshole buddies. Asshole buddies are always trying to destroy one another.

The entire spat between them was kayfabe. They were hurting each other's image by being next to each other.

Voss continued: "What we ought to be watching is whether the Administration is trying to build up the sense of crisis to a fever pitch, as a prelude to Republicans ending the Senate filibuster. The public tends to dislike the filibuster rule, because it prevents majorities from getting their way quickly, but it's one of the only remaining features of the American government that requires the parties to cooperate, which is something the public also claims to want. If Senate rules change so that the majority party can start passing legislation without compromise, that will have a lot more impact on American public policy than anything being debated right now."

They would never dream of killing the filibuster unless they knew for sure that nobody but the GOP will ever have a majority ever again.

Republicans have consistently decreased the power of the filibuster when they are in office. It's just a matter of time.

3

The filibuster disproportionately benefits the GOP anyway. Their MO is status quo, prevent reform, do nothing, dismantle. They will always use it more. It's why we have no public option for Medicare. And it's been used excessively since Obama.

The idea that consequences would be "coming soon" instead of seeing that the shutdown is already affecting people since day one just shows how disconnected the couch fucker (and the whole rightwinger mafia he is part of) is from reality.
