    You currently have 51 Democrats in the senate. That’s a simple majority. You need 60+ senate Democrats to overcome the filibuster, which you don’t have.

    This is how Dems blocked everything trump wanted to do, and how the Repubs are gonna block everything Biden wants to do.

    Just two and they will knuckle under soon enough. It is long pastime for over-represented shithole states like ND/SD and Mississippi to have a counterbalance. DC and PR are exactly that.

    Perfect example of a literal extremist posting right before your very eyes. Shitbag here hates his own countrymen with such fury that he wants to make them irrelevant by adding statehood to territories, direct reason being a one party country that answers to no one other than their own.

    This position should be comically fringe, but there’s big democrat names promoting such freaky shit.

    Budget reconciliations must really piss you off, not least because you don't appear to understand them.

    Understand them just fine. I got a nice tax break (that I’m continually told I didn’t actually get because it was “for the wealthy”) because of them.

    Not even the big bad boogeyman Donald Trump went this route, but apparently to shitbag here, it’s all good.

    Dangerous times we live in where people like you would literally sign the whole nation into a one-party dictatorship just because of your own hatred.

    My own thoughts you sad sack son of a bitch. If you get the Dakotas we get DC and PR to cancel those fake votes out.

    Time to stop the fraud.

    LULZ... Where in the cousin fucking tarnation does giving people the right to vote get twisted into being the radical fringe idea.

    Only in GQP Land where other than whining about culture war BS they have nothing else policy-wise to offer beyond 'let's give the wealthy more money and blame all the problems on poor brown people'.

    Guns? Hell yeah a right!

    Voting? Nah, needs to be restricted!

    Small Govt.? Hell yeah!

    Woman's Vaginas? Let's have govt. control over them!

    Well no you don't or you wouldn't have said: "You need 60+ senate Democrats to overcome the filibuster, which you don’t have."

    It is nothing new. The Dakotas are part of the armpit of America comprising 1.7 million people, and they get four senate seats and that is fucked and gamed.

    Now that that is out of the way by your comments you are once again proving yourself to be a poorly educated fuckwit just like when you falsely tried to claim that the constitution protected people from saying toxic shit. Remember that one dummy?

    So let me school you one more time. The Dakotas or more correctly called the Dakota territory and the GOP had a plan to stack the deck even back then...

    he number of states in the union has been fixed at 50 for so long, few Americans realize that throughout most of our history, the addition of new states from time to time was a normal part of political life. New states were supposed to join the union when they reached a certain population, but in the late 19th century, population mattered a great deal less than partisanship. While McConnell is right to suspect that admitting Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia now would shift the balance in Congress toward the Democrats, the Republican Party has historically taken far more effective advantage of the addition of new states.
    In 1889 and 1890, Congress added North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming—the largest admission of states since the original 13. This addition of 12 new senators and 18 new electors to the Electoral College was a deliberate strategy of late-19th-century Republicans to stay in power after their swing toward Big Business cost them a popular majority. The strategy paid dividends deep into the future; indeed, the admission of so many rural states back then helps to explain GOP control of the Senate today, 130 years later.
    When Adding New States Helped the Republicans - The Atlantic

    So once again it is pretty sad that you know nothing about the history of your own nation nor the sacred document that it's founding fathers drafted. You and the rest of the rights bluster about what the Democratic Party is doing now by pushing for DC statehood is massively disingenuous and hypocritical.

    ^It’s posting more down the alley now

    Biden's New Deal: Re-engineering America, quickly

    Biden prepared to chuck filibuster in bid to reshape America, quickly

    President Biden recently held an undisclosed East Room session with historians that included discussion of how big is too big — and how fast is too fast — to jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America.

    Why it matters ... The historians’ views were very much in sync with his own: It is time to go even bigger and faster than anyone expected. If that means chucking the filibuster and bipartisanship, so be it.

    Snip

    But we're told Biden won’t hesitate. Just as he passed the $1.9 trillion COVID rescue package with zero Republican votes and zero regrets, his team sees little chance he's going to be able to rewire the government in his image if he plays by the rules of bringing in at least 10 Republicans.

    In other news……

    Biden's dogs return to White House

    Biden sees himself as a two-term president
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    ​Democrats gonna democrat.



    Biden Administration Urges Supreme Court To Let Cops Enter Homes And Seize Guns Without A Warrant


    the Biden Administration glossed over these concerns and called on the justices to uphold the First Circuit’s ruling. Noting that “the ultimate touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is ‘reasonableness,’” the Justice Department argued that warrants should not be “presumptively required when a government official’s action is objectively grounded in a non-investigatory public interest, such as health or safety.”

    So at what point do you take the firearm from a mentally disturbed individual? After he's opened fire and you've popped a couple through his head?

    The key word here is "reasonableness" you moron. Take the guns first, argue the law later.

    If it isn't justified, they can get them back and sue the fuck out of the cops. It is 'merica after all.

    Why didn’t you just read the article, Harry. That’s not what they are arguing at all.

    And fucking LOL at “reasonableness”

    Nonsense and disingenuous conservatives headline designed to enrage those weak minded enough to not read past the headline. The case being tested in the supreme court is based on the police community caretaking provision, that has been around since 50 years ago through both republican and Democrat administration. In fact I am willing to bet that the incident in question occurred during the trump administration. The only thing the trump administration is defending the status quo.
