Re: rebuilding America
Moscow Mitch folds on the filibuster https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...-expected.html
this is once again his wife, Elaine Cho's ball-twisting cos she's been flipping out over traitor trump and now the insurrection.
Moscow Mitch would still be his old nasty self but she's on him bigly to save her butt and their dying party.
it's the few old school right wing women who are finally making stands against the insanity after being forced into a corner.
too bad they're so nutsy evil we can't work with them, they're the best of that bunch but formidable foes on their own.
McConnell filibustered the Organization Resolution, which would set committee assignments for the new dem senate majority. While he was doing that, republicans continued with their committee chairs as if they were still in control. He told Schumer that he'd only cave if Schumer would commit to getting rid of the filibuster. McConnell knows that there are two or three dems who won't vote to kill the filibuster, so that is why he filibustered the OR, he assumed Schumer would not be able to nuke the filibuster to break McConnell's filibuster. But, he wants Schumer to guarantee he won't get rid of it, just in case. What McConnell forgot to factor in, was Schumer's resolve. Because, McConnell folded during Schumer's interview with Rachel Maddow, she asked him about it, what was he going to do about McConnell's blocking the OR, which is unprecedented ( normally it's just a routine thing, the new senate majority comes in, does an OR, and everybody is on their way) but McConnell's ONLY power, now that dems have the senate, the house, and the presidency, is the filibuster. He's deathly afraid of losing it. ( I doubt Schumer will get rid of it, but he will hold it over McConnell's head if he doesn't play ball on legislation ) so that is why McConnel did it. Anyway, Schumer answered Maddow's question by telling her he had a "plan" he had something up his sleeve, but he wouldn't tell her what it was. Of course, anyone who knows what is going on knows precisely what Schumer was up to, and what McConnell hadn't banked on, was that, in this case, given that McConnell was, in unprecedented fashion, filibustering the OR, that that is the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back, and it was obvious to McConnell who must have been watching that Schumer was implying that, IN THIS CASE, he's got 51 votes. So, McConnell was literally playing a game of chicken with Schumer, daring him to find the votes to bust the filibuster, and Schumer hinted at it in a very big way, and during that interview McConnell folded. following Maddow was Laurence McDonald, who knows a lot about parliamentary stuff, and he stated that is probably what happened.
