b_m_b_m_b_m Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'd be absolutely shocked if he decided that the filibuster was worth defaulting. If there's anyone more beholden to corporate interests on the Dem side I'd be shocked. Hell, showing willingness to change this rule here for this specific context might be enough to get Republicans on board with voting for cloture and not changing the rule.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 A short term extension giving Dems time to pass via recon is what will save the filibuster and thus this is what Mitch would be for, and I'm sure manchin will agree to something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 So much time absolutely wasted this week negotiating this deal on a TWO MONTH extension and then the GOP having to spend time amongst themselves finding the 10 people to actually vote on it. The idea that this is supposed to be somehow less stupid than minting a big coin and stamping $1T on it is absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to "invoke cloture" aka stop debate and vote on the bill, and then the actual vote on the bill itself. The cloture vote is the one that, so long as the filibuster rules are in place, requires 60 votes to pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthless trashbags. Not that Lieutenants ever do any of the fighting, but its a nice thought. Im at the point where the guillotine is too good for them. Hanging without a drop, that's the answer. Let them squirm so we can see the fear as they struggle to breathe. Meanwhile, have someone on the platform taunting them. "We'd like to help, but we only 51 votes. We wouldn't want to hurt democracy by doing the right thing. I mean, you could have voted to end the fillibuster! But hey, at least you wore your wacky earings!"

I believe they call them diamonds at that point. Don’t even give him coal. He is such a tight ass on any movement for the Dems. That I’m pretty sure he would start taking that coal, shove it up his own ass to make himself a diamond(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
