As if he hasn't been doing that for the last 12 years!! It's a completely empty threat. He's already using every tool and trick in the book to obstruct, the are no more bullets in the magazine.

If I remember, it was Democrats that came up with it? Am I wrong?

Who knows? Look it up and post a link to back it up if you think that's the case. Support your assertions!

Only to have you disbelieve them? Why would anyone waste their time like that?

So you can't, then?

Cool.

I can. You won't believe it or you will dismiss it. So it isn't a matter of can, it is a matter of your are not worth the time.

Lol, if you could, you would. You aren't, so you can't.

You lose.

As is usual for losers.

Ya that fucking turtle is hillarious. Every thing he threatened was already a reality. So a promise of more of the same. Ya I am sure the Senate is shaking in their boots.

Under Harry Reid the Senate became known as the place where legislation went to die

Because republicans filibustered everything.

Wasnt it Harry Reid?

It goes back into the 1800s. Pretty sure Harry's not that old.

Im not too sure about that.

Like I told the other guy, look it up. Back up your assertions.

And like the other guy said , he couldhits post absolute truth and you and your propagandists will just repeat over and over and over and over and over and over over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over agan that that truth is a lie. No matter what you will never admit that is true. Just look up the Russian hoax, you will see that in every thread in here. So why bother.

If it was a real truth I wouldn't be able to debunk it. You kids just can't back it up.

Lol

Yes it was Harry Reid, I remember going this will come back and bite them in the ass. You young one. Go ahead and do what you want. Biden has screwed up worse in one month, what took Obama 8 years to do. So whatever Harris does, it won't take Trump a month, to do away with it.

The filibuster has been around so long that there are movies from the 1930s about it.

Reid got rid of it.

"What [the American people] don't expect is for one party, be it Republican or Democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet."- The Sen Obama on the Nuclear Option

"At its core, the filibuster is not about stopping a nominee or a bill, it's about compromise and moderation. The nuclear option extinguishes the power of independents and moderates in the Senate. That's it, they're done. Moderates are important if you need to get to 60 votes to satisfy cloture; they are much less so if you only need 50 votes. Let's set the historical record straight. Never has the Senate provided for a certainty that 51 votes could put someone on the bench or pass legislation." - Joe Biden

"Well, I can tell you that would be the end of the Senate as it was originally devised and created going back to our Founding Fathers,. We have to acknowledge our respect for the minority, and that is what the Senate tries to do in its composition and in its procedure." Dicky Durbin

The Dems know the Filibuster would destroy the Founders intent of the US Senate, they know it would destroy any check or any means of compromise between the States.....it's a massive power grab, one they will attempt to use to concentrate their power, and turn our Republic into a totalarian Chinese style one party state

Please show us how the founders intended for the minority party to be able to bring all congressional business to a halt just because they lost.

We have a ton of Anti Americans in the Senate and House today. They call themselves Republicans. I call them ThePartyoftheRump. They are back to their old tricks of the Party of NO. Okay, so they no longer get a vote since they don't seem to want to be part of the American Government. When they start acting like Representatives and Senators then they will be treated as them. But not until.

Um they represent the people that voted them into office....and not going along wiht whatever you want isn't anti=American....

your comment highlights you are the one with the actual anti-american views, that wants to erase the votes of millions of Americans, shut down debate in Congress, and ram through you agenda....that's the type of thinking Stalin, Hitler, Mao etc used....it's deadly and dangerous...sad you can't see it

The QAnon is strong in this one.

Says the Fascist that wants to cancel the votes of Americans that don't fall in line with his Party......

Ummm... It's you kids with the voter suppression. Not us.

He eliminated it's use on some nominations. This I knew. The claim was that he started it, which isn't true.
