  1. How you talk about trans folks sounds a lot like how people used to talk about gay folks.
  2. What are you talking about? It's already been largely forgotten.
  3. The obscenely rich don't want the state that protects them and their wealth to regulate the means by which they accumulate said wealth? I am shocked.
  4. No. Get rid of it. It's anti-democratic and it allows cowardly lawmakers to hide behind the rules. Flush them out. Make them cast difficult votes.
  5. Government by ratfucking. Thanks, Dick.
  6. It's not to empower fascists, it's to make the institution more democratic and make Senators think before they vote for something that might get them voted out of office.
  7. And let's remove the rule that allows Senators to avoid difficult votes.
  8. I want the filibuster gone yesterday, so yes, it would be a great way to put the Senate back on a democratic track.
  9. Also, I want a Republican on this site to explain to me how Democrats are shutting down the government when Republicans control the rules of the Senate.
  10. Something tells me they're in it for the long haul.
  11. Maybe Democrats should start lying. If you can't beat 'em . . .
  12. Let's all thank our benevolent overlords for allowing Americans to grind it out every day so they can live in bank owned, cheaply made, tacky houses on unproductive 1/8 to 1/4 acre lots. Thank you, Jebus, for your bountiful gifts. Amen
  13. So let's funnel capital upward to the idle rich layabouts who don't need it. That seems like a smart way to run a society and has never resulted in civil unrest.
  14. What's more important? Archaic Senate rules or passing this budget?
  15. Mainly that the whims of the electorate really don't have much to do with the "genius politics" of either party.
  16. It's not rhetorical at all. Why can't you pass your own legislation? Do you know?
  17. Why can't Republicans pass their budget?
  18. Democrats couldn't blow up the filibuster. I really hope the Republicans can.
  19. There's nothing rhetorical about it. I know how the Senate works. I'm wondering if you do. The majority can pass whatever they want whenever they want. Unless, of course, they don't have the votes.
  20. Nothing fascinating about it. Leadership couldn't whip the votes. Are you saying Senate Republicans aren't unified?
