Are we talking about nuking the filibuster? Hickenlooper, Simena, Kelly etc may not fold so easily either
I DO NOT WANT TRUMP TO GET HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT BACK...
..but I kind of want to see one tweet from him about this. Lol.
Also, Trump will still try to remain relevant by doing his bullshit rallies and pushing the Trumplings to run for Congress in an effort to over-rule his impeachment at a later date.
Without Twitter though, his sphere of influence will be greatly diminished. You can already see the effects on which GOP players like Turtle can come out and signal balloon conviction considerations without the orange baby turning the public opinion on them, or at least, not as effectively.
OTOH, I don't expect the GOP to be prepared for the kind of Governance the Biden/Harris administration will implement as it's been more than 20 years since the last decisive liberal push. Most of the 2000-2016 rules don't apply anymore.
The filibuster is gone anyway.
You can't rule with the SCOTUS in mind. They might find some part constitutionals and some parts not, either way, each case will take time, as you can only take active litigation up the courts before it reaches the SCOTUS. See: Obamacare.

Trump after inauguration: My party had millions and millions of television views, far beyond the television views Biden had. Just look at the crowds! He had no people attend the inauguration and I had a bigly amount!
McConnell would still have the majority if Trump hadn't talked Collins into running. Losing the Senate is completely Trump's fault.
I'm at a point where every piece of news that will make Trump miserable just makes me cackle. He's going to be so mad.
I'm guessing he launches his 2024 campaign tomorrow and starts doing rallies almost immediately on donor's dime. I really hope the indictments start rolling out the 21st.
I just wonder how much of that money will go to super expensive defense attorneys vs. how much doing actual rallies. Only he knows.
No that was simply in regards to stimulus funding. Well aware that the political lift to get more done will be a pretty tortured path, but if you're going to move for reconciliation on stimulus and worried about Manchin, he seems more than aware that more funds will net him a bigger bag in the end with little downside.
At this point I'm fully prepared for us to watch that scenario unfold of Dems making the ask of GOP for bipartisan support, falling short for months and then come to a head later where we'll face a more serious question on filibuster removal. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it I suppose.
The bill specifically says each clause In the law can be independently severed if found unconstitutional.
Not gonna stop a 6-3 majority from striking down if that's what they want to do, but it would be a lot harder
I thought this before, but with the impeachment hanging over his head, now I think he will hold back.
Wow, no Pence either?
For a guy who doesn't want to be seen as Nixon, Trump sure is intent on setting up a Nixon style photo op.

Shunned by Pence as well - which isn't exactly shocking.
I bet Lindsey will be there though.

Doesn't his pac he formed after the election already have hundreds of millions of dollars with like 70% of it able to be used however Trump wants based on the wording in his donor emails?
Do you think Trump will use it for smart political strategy if he needs it to fund his legal battles to stay out of jail?
Honestly I'm just sort of hoping McConnell's backroom dealing with safe R's he can sacrifice to the altar in order to get Trump out of their hair for good. I'm sure it's a tempting bargain for him, but no idea how they might handle the backlash outside of staunch R bastions.
I agree that he will use it however he wants. That's why I said the emails said like 70% can be used however he wants. He will be able to afford the best lawyers if they are willing to take him on as a client.
Trump and Co. impressive corruption means any money is already being grifted by him and his minions, just like his candidacy run money. Money will run out fast.
Articles could be sent this week and proceedings the following day or next week but nothing is known.
I wouldn't bet on anything right away. That shouldn't be the first thing getting talked about. Let people soak up his executive orders and action taken as he enters office and we control the senate.
I doubt he will afford the "best lawyers." The best lawyers want to take Trump down. With his reputation of not paying and seeing who had to pick from for his previous battles? Nah. He's fucked.
Well, they always claimed that "Congress needs to make these things into laws" if they want them to stand. So, with congress doing just that, what is there for them to strike down? I can only see automatic registration because someone could argue its against my "1st Amendment rights to not vote". But then again, registering to vote is not the same as voting.
and states would still control voting, they just couldn't set up roadblocks, like many things which states govern, they still have federal laws to follow when making/enforcing their own laws.
I said Hannity, but I forgot about Judge-Box-o-Wine and that Chanel woman from OAN.
No fucking way does Cruz show up. He's stupid, but he's not that stupid.
Hawley...yeah, I think he's exactly that stupid..
I like to see cosplay chuds even so much as swing their guns in front of actual soldiers. Fully expect them to cower in fear and not wear their dumb thrift store camo clothes.
Senate Dems have now introduced their voting rights bill:
Add Greg Kelly to that list.
Fucker would gargle Trump's balls if he wanted to.
Tweet is absolutely disgusting. Wish nothing but the worst to that cretin.
This is interesting. It's been so long since I saw actual governing in action I don't know how this works.
So do they review each other's bills and make a new one? Or do they vote on each other's bills?
Lmao Hawley might lose his lawyer license over simping for Trump and incitement of a riot
Tfw rand paul might have learned something

They can fill out the empty seats with pillows. Draw faces on them!
Not even Pence.
Basically they discuss their own legislation, vote on it and send it to the other body, then that body votes on to approve that one. Whichever has both approvals gets to the executive for signing or vetoing.
On his last day at State, he dropped that using the official account. Can't wait for an adult to finally take over tomorrow.
I don't think so. He's always pretty vindictive and outspoken when he has the votes to shoot something down or vote for something like taking healthcare away from millions.
