  1. Also should probably exempt voting rights expansion bills from the filibuster. That's the only way HR-1 has chance other than ditching the filibuster entirely.
  2. The more I think about it the more I prefer the idea of making the filibuster really painful for the minority over eliminating it entirely. The filibuster isn't really the problem, and it's not hard to imagine the really horrible things the Rs would do if it's gone when they regain the majority. The problem is the Rs being obstructionist assholes with every damn bill. Bringing back the talky filly and requiring 40+ votes on the floor would likely significantly curtail its use.
  3. More evidence that 40% of the population is hopelessly stupid.
  4. I must admit that I've always thought lower federal court decisions on constitutional questions were binding on states. Apparently that only goes for SCOTUS.
  5. Was held to be unconstitutional by the 5th circuit in 2008, based on the 14th amendment. I should note that decision is not binding on state courts.
  6. It's asshole signaling.
  7. Gaslighting as art part 2.
  8. Taking gaslighting to a whole new level.
  9. Lulz at asking them to compile every single moderation decision over the past year. They're just harassing twitter. The only rational response to this letter is "get fucked."
  10. I want to hear the argument about why they aren't vaccines. They certainly are not gene therapy.
  11. I made a similar argument/complaint in a thread I started a while back about the San Fran govt canceling Lincoln and others by renaming schools. That shit really annoys me because the only thing it accomplishes is rallying the right. However, this shit and the muppets - private enterprises "censoring" their own stuff - isn't remotely comparable. This is not even remotely political.
  12. The dress? I take it this is like a Lewinsky situation?
  13. Just makes me want to explode everytime I see people say masks don't work for reducing the spread of a respiratory virus. I hate stupid people so much.
  14. Yeah I lied too. I felt a bit guilty, but the Abbott going full "every man for himself" has obliterated that.
  15. Biden's already spoken more intelligent statements (as potus) than dotard did in 4 years, tweets included.
  16. I do, he was in my class. Nothing memorable about him from school that I can recall.
  17. If China invaded and promised they're only taking the west coast, the Rs would probably be cool with it. They'd definitely be cool with it if the alternative was a draft.
  18. Definitely more metocratic. Not sure what that means but if it involves every citizen's vote having equal value, I'm in.
  19. Still waiting for your proposal on what to do with these kids.
  20. Yeah this. It's an emergency solution. Criticism without identifying a better alternative is worthless.
  21. I'm extremely confused about what I'm supposed to be appalled by here. What are people wanting to be done instead?
  22. Good job on the spoiler and accuracy fix there.
  23. Could happen to anyone. What was his tack from there?
