Harry Reid started it.

Ah, yes. "Dingy Harry," as Rush Limbaugh would call him.

While Dingy Harry "started it", it has been the Rs that have taken the next two bites out of it. So the logic is that the Rs should simply 'finish the job' they have continued?

And once it is gutted completely, I guess you wont complain at all about bills the head into the 51-49 passage, no matter the content, afterwards? mlb is right on point. I also suspect that if/when the Rs take that lst bite out of it, when the Ds regain power they will go absolutely ape bonkers with it. Good with you?

I would be totally ok with getting rid of the filibuster if they would repeal the 17th amendment.

First -- that wasnt the question posed.

Second -- kind of facile to talk about 'replacing something that is very much on the chopping block' with some pie in the sky item that simply wont happen.

Anything to balance against a dumb*** move to move gas prices to 4 bucks a gallon for the elections, I guess. Lolz. Along with the dumb*** tariff moves, and a whole slew of other issues.

Nothing like 'illegals are gonna vote!!!' to get to the really stupid antsed up.

Don't forget that little thing called Crossfire Hurricane. I hear Comey being called down to Florida for that little gig. No D C crap to help him out.

Im impressed at the metric ton of whadabouts you reply with.

In order -- yes, some of the country (a good deal) thinks that Trump being impeached for trying to short circuit a lawful vote is pretty bad. Imagine that.

And following, what do you feel comfortable with calling a riot at the Capitol with the intent to forestall a legal transition of power? That is, what term for that *doesnt* trigger your quaint sensitivity about that?

And sure thing boss, screeching '96 trumped up charges' doesnt relieve you of the ignorance shown of the facts in the cases. Including even more so the convictions.

Sqwarrrkkk!!!!!!! Anything bad about Trump is LIE!!!! Sqwarkkk!!!! Polly wanna cracker.... Sqwarkk!!!!

Cool cool.

When you climb down from your 'god being treated unfairly' myopia/blindness, come back with something other than the shallow kneejerk rhetoric and lets talk. Lolz.

The religious banter of the conspiracy religion that all is out to get Trump runs deep with a lot here, I see. Ever try some lithium?

Correct me all you wish hoss. Maybe the corrections should be on something germane to the issue. On those, as I said to you earlier -- when the issue doesnt matter, I dont give a rats ass on it. Somehow, you havent clued into that at this point in our conversations. Cool cool.

Never really followed or supported Pence, but -- yeah -- in the end he did the right thing. Absolutely. Bummer for you that he actually noted the incorrect and illegal issue he was being urged to do.

Not very often I get to say 'bummer for you that [someone actually followed the right course and the legal course.]' Imagine that.

Sorry you seem perturbed over someone actually doing that.

Maybe we should just literally chop them off from the mainland, and let them become an island.
