Exactly. The way he worded that sounds like he is conceding defeat on the vote. While he has it in his power to force it through. And they better force it through.


Yup. It's political theater on his part to make it seem like he's with Trump and conservatives... while he really has no intentions of actually getting it across the finish line. If he did, he'd address the filibuster issue.

I won't. I know exactly why that scummy POS RINO McConnell protege MFer was installed as Senate Majority Leader.

Forcing a vote is forcing failure. He has to power to force it to pass, but he's looking for an out.

Pure establishment move.

Yup. His posturing on this is all for show and to try and take some heat off of him from his constituents who don't know any better.

No it wouldn’t. The Dems will do it first chance they get.


Geez.... I don't understand how folks that regularly visit this site can be sooooo fricked off in their understanding of todays political environment.
If and when the Marxist Dems regain power, they will ABSOLUTELY do EVERYTHING within their power to control and force their Marxist ideology down our throats.
Geez, they've said so on many, many, occasions.
They've told us how they will pursue, charge, and prosecute, Trump supporters in the WH..... yet never actually state for what law they broke!

Any conversations we have here, on this site, that is contrary to the Marxist belief.... will not be allowed.
Wake the frick up

To me, this is more than "getting democrats on the record". This is getting the shithead Republicans on the record.

I'm putting my prediction on record now: The SAVE Act is not passed by the Senate.

Thune, Trump and his entire cabinet need to bring every Republican senator into a closed door meeting, do a head count and peer pressure the frick out of holdouts, barter, have a VIP room with hookers in it, whatever, but get this law passed!

They tried not long ago. Manchin and Sinema blocked them. They are both gone now. The Dems will absolutely do it when they can.

would rather make the filibuster what is was meant to be = you have to occupy the floor with a real breathing, talking, standing-at-the-podium human being or yield to the next in line who can call for the vote.

no more 'filibuster by declaration'
