I'd love to see congress have the foresight and the balls to implement a law that would require any new rule changes to have a one year 'wait' time and cannot be changed for a minimum of ten years, I believe that would make the think long and hard before doing shit like this.

Filibuster is kinda stupid. Senate already passes massive laws that dramatically change our country with only 51 votes through Reconciliation, might as well just go all the way. No reason 40% of the Senate should be able to decide what the Senate & House & President are able to do, its a very undemocratic principle.

Congressional majority leaders can change the rules and have in the recent past.

2006 Nancy Pelosi changed the House rules to block minority party from adding amendments or block legislation from coming to a vote. This allowed to them to stack up outrageous left wing bills for the 2008 election and place them in the Senate which was controlled by Republicans. This gave them the campaign material in 2008 to get Obama voted in. Afterwards Reid was elected Senate leader and he changed the rules to be in line with the House. This allowed the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka Obama-care) to get to the floor and be voted on. NONE of the Bills passed by the House from 2006 to 2008 were voted on. NONE.

The ACA funneled tax payer dollars into the pockets of major insurance, drug and healthcare corporations.

The Democrat controlled Congress could have passed any and all left wing legislation without a single vote from Republicans and didn't. Think about that for one second. Let your mind run free on what could have been.

Republicans kept the rules in 2010's (Tea party) House and Senate take over. They of course did nothing except get together with democrats to remove members of both parties who were not falling in line with the ruling members. The 2010 Tea Party people almost all gone by 2014 elections.

2016 Republicans still enjoyed a majority in both chambers and could have passed any and all right wing legislation for Trump to sign and they didn't. Just let your mind run free on what could have been for the conservative movement.

They passed tax cuts for corporations. Billions of dollars.

Have you figured it out yet? Congress feeds the beast that elects them.

Trump (The only outsider since George Washington and smart businessman) received no help from republicans during his administration and re-election. NONE. One can argue they thwarted his entire administration start to finish and re-election for the entire four years.

Things are getting very desperate now for the puppet masters aka the elites that run the show from behind the scenes. The bank. You think things will change because few new republican outsiders win in NOV and may swing the chambers in both houses to republican by even the slimmest of margins?

LMAO

No.

The uni-party will move forward as planned. Those that support them will be more shocked than those that see them for what they really are.

If you're a troll reading this, what is your excuse for a administration team you have now abandoning the message that got you burning cities, riot in the streets and attacking other Americans? You got nothing. NOTHING. Two years in and not one single item rammed through with Harris the deciding vote.

The perfect example of a useful idiot.

The political fight for America's soul is just beginning.
