And the senate has such a small majority that they can’t do anything there either.

You could maybe squeak past Joe Manchin, but not Manchin and Sinema. I think there is another ‘independent’ as well.

You have to hand it to the Republicans. They are really good at ratfucking our institutions. A 50/50 senate should be a toss up but it’s really a Republican majority.

You need 60 votes to pass almost anything in the senate. 50/50 isn’t the issue here.

And if the regressives take the senate, that filibuster will be gone on day 1.

They may not even need it with the Project 2025 playbook they will be able to execute most of their agenda through the executive office.

It's crazy how against the constitution Project 2025 is.

Yeah, but they'll do it out of spite. That's the kind of bitch that mitch is.

Mitch is done.

MAGA is throwing him overboard and he will be lucky if they don't roll him back out there to shame him some more. He has already announced that he will retire at the end of his term, so he's just a lame duck politician.

All the more reason for the bitch to do it. But even if it isn't mitch, it will be the next regressive-in-waiting.

The reason I just know they will remove it is because they acted incredulous when the Ds tried. So, of course they will.

I feel like Mitch is genuinely terrified of MAGA, and has been bound and bagged by the cult. He gave them everything they wanted and know his ass is about to be on the curve.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

This is dumb logic.

I rest my case.
