    You mean filibuster. The Democrats didn’t eliminate it under Biden out of fear for what Republicans would do when they took power again. Guess what?

      And I was pissed off about that but now have to reluctantly give them credit for that. Turned out to be the right call.

      But if they actually use it, the way McConnel did when he was in the minority, then the Republicans will finally get rid of it. They don’t need it, as they will never again be the minority party.

        There is no way we don’t get a massive recession or worse in Trump’s presidency. MAGA won’t care, but a lot of the idiot moderates always blame the incumbent party and will vote in a Democrat.

          Pretty much, honestly I think Kamela would have won if they just put up a reel-to-reel film reminding people Covid-19 is Trump’s fault
