WASHINGTON—Arguing the procedure was an invaluable legislative tradition that she would be hard pressed to do away with, Sen Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) defended the Senate filibuster Friday as necessary for her to stay politically relevant.​

​

“For years, the Senate filibuster has been a critical tool that senators like myself have used in order to propel ourselves out of obscurity and into the spotlight,” said Sinema, adding that the ability to delay or block a bill protected a time-honored system in the United States government that had given her undue power based on a lack of proportional representation.”​

​

“I admit our government has problems, but permitting Republicans to take the Senate floor to stymie a piece of legislation, which results in Krysten Sinema becoming the most talked-about senator in the news, is not one of them. Perhaps my Democratic colleagues should consider becoming relevant themselves, rather than removing the system that allowed my success.”​

​

At press time, Sinema argued that the best way to protect democracy was not by eliminating the filibuster, but rather by continuing to give her attention again and again.​

Apparently God ran out of locusts - so he sent Manchin and Sinema.

 

[two_iron]

They're breaking ranks with the marxist Dominioncrats.

It is what it is.... they love America. I suppose you filthy fucking animals will burn their shit to ground for that transgression... hmm?

Let's hope it goes like this:

 

[theHawk]

The Dems don’t want to get rid of the filibuster. They just need a few fall guys to take the blame, so they use the ones from Red States.

 

[bendog]

Remember when Harry Reid got rid of fillibustering judges. How'd that work out? lol

But hey, maybe you could name a one issue in which Dems could get 60 votes. Get real. Moscow Mitch has made very clear that his single-minded, publicly stated goal is not to give this president a single win.

There are plenty of issues that the D's could propose that would receive bipartisan support. But they have to forget Socialism and instead seek compromise. For example, on the issue of Gun Control. If the D's were willing to offer full faith and credit for people's concealed carry permits-allow those folks authorized by the sheriff to carry in Loving County, Texas or Mercer County, PA to bring their weapons into Washington or Chicago, the R's might be willing to allow background checks.

But the last time we had Draconian gun control, NOTHING was offered to the R's at all. In fact, the Clinton Gun Code just whet the appetite of extremists for even stricter requirements.

Sorry, your proposal might be considered if the FBI did the vetting, which would include a review of social media posts, employer interviews, domestic violence, restraining orders and mental health.

Competency reviews and testing also required.

I'm talking about people who have been vetted and certified by their own sheriffs to do so.

Yeah sure, and we know exactly how hard most rural shuriffs will vet their kooks

Actually, we know they do a tremendous job. The gun crime stats in rural America are a lot better than those in the Urban Hell Holes.

Sorry, your proposal might be considered if the FBI did the vetting, which would include a review of social media posts, employer interviews, domestic violence, restraining orders and mental health.

Competency reviews and testing also required.

Andy of Mayberry? HELL NO. He’ have given Otis the Drunk and Ernest T Bass permits!

What you are suggesting is massive Red Tape to try and discourage lawabiders.

But the facts are that walking through Mayberry is a lot safer than walking through Chicago or Bed Stuy, NY, where the kind of red tape you propose is already used.

Remember when Harry Reid got rid of fillibustering judges. How'd that work out? lol

Ya, thanks a bunch Harry

Poster’s Note: The names “Sinema” and “Manchin” are interchangeable here

​

WASHINGTON—Arguing the procedure was an invaluable legislative tradition that she would be hard pressed to do away with, Sen Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) defended the Senate filibuster Friday as necessary for her to stay politically relevant.​

​

“For years, the Senate filibuster has been a critical tool that senators like myself have used in order to propel ourselves out of obscurity and into the spotlight,” said Sinema, adding that the ability to delay or block a bill protected a time-honored system in the United States government that had given her undue power based on a lack of proportional representation.”​

​

“I admit our government has problems, but permitting Republicans to take the Senate floor to stymie a piece of legislation, which results in Krysten Sinema becoming the most talked-about senator in the news, is not one of them. Perhaps my Democratic colleagues should consider becoming relevant themselves, rather than removing the system that allowed my success.”​

​

At press time, Sinema argued that the best way to protect democracy was not by eliminating the filibuster, but rather by continuing to give her attention again and again.​

Personally, I'm not nearly as offended by Bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle as you are.

Arizona is the home of Maverick politicians. Do you hate Sen. Sinema because she is a cis-broad and white?

No one is offended by bipartisanship or by SInema. D’s try that all the time. Like you know, when McTurtle sends his people to negotiate compromises and then then they don’t get a single vote?

But hey, maybe you could name a one issue in which Dems could get 60 votes. Get real. Moscow Mitch has made very clear that his single-minded, publicly stated goal is not to give this president a single win.
.

There are plenty of issues that the D's could propose that would receive bipartisan support. But they have to forget Socialism and instead seek compromise. For example, on the issue of Gun Control. If the D's were willing to offer full faith and credit for people's concealed carry permits-allow those folks authorized by the sheriff to carry in Loving County, Texas or Mercer County, PA to bring their weapons into Washington or Chicago, the R's might be willing to allow background checks.

But the last time we had Draconian gun control, NOTHING was offered to the R's at all. In fact, the Clinton Gun Code just whet the appetite of extremists for even stricter requirements.

Unadulterated nonsense ^
And allowing Q-Kooks to bring their guns into DC?
Please dude, that’s a non starter.

I'm not talking about allowing "kooks" of any kind to bring their guns into Washington.

I'm talking about people who have been vetted and certified by their own sheriffs to do so.

Massive red tape? Meh, for a pro such a BG check might take half an hour on average.
The local shuriff?
