We make it far too easy for senators in the minority to use the filibuster to kill bills supported by the majority.
The whole idea behind the filibuster has, from the beginning, been to protect and prolong debate—not to cut off debate, forcing the Senate to abandon any bill that doesn’t immediately receive the support of at least 60 senators.
Filibustering is supposed to require far more than opposing cloture.
Especially for bills of exceptional national importance—like the SAVE America Act—senators should be required to hold the floor and speak.
The minute filibustering senators stop doing that, the legislation can and should be passed at a simple-majority threshold.
This is not a radical idea.
This describes what the filibuster is, how it has historically operated, and how it should work today.
Share this message if you agree that the Senate—and the country as a whole—would be well served by a return to this approach.
James Talarico says "I think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity."
So, this guy hates Christianity, meat, guns, oil, thinks white people are inherently racist, that the Bible justifies abortion, and that God is 'non-binary.'
Calling you a racist has always been a tool the left uses to shut down debate. They can't tell us why importing millions of people from cultures incompatible with our own is a good thing for America. They just call you a racist and hope you'll shut up. Well, I never will.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR ONCE!!!
The Charlotte NC high school that painted over a student's tribute to Charlie Kirk, called the police on her, and then publicly branded the 16-year-old girl a VANDAL in front of her entire school...
...has just been forced to pay her $95,000!!!!!!
Her name is Gabby Stout, she was a junior at Ardrey Kell High School.
Days after Charlie Kirk was assass*nated, she got PERMISSION from the front office to paint the school's spirit rock, a tradition kids have used for years.
She painted a heart. An American flag. "Freedom 1776." And "Live Like Kirk ... John 11:25."
Within HOURS, the school painted over it.
Then the principal emailed the ENTIRE school calling it VANDALISM, claiming she broke the code of conduct, and announcing they had called LAW ENFORCEMENT to open a criminal investigation.
They pulled this teenage girl out of class again and again and then MADE HER WRITE A CONFESSION!!!!
They demanded her PHONE so they could search her call logs.
For painting a rock. With permission.
So her family sued. And they WON.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools now has to pay $95,000, publicly clear her name, and admit in writing she did NOTHING wrong.
But not only that... they were forced to adopt a brand new student free speech policy because of her.
THIS is how you fight back.
GOD BLESS GABBY STOUT!!!!!!
ELECTION DAY: just remember, if you want to save California, vote for Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt. You must, however, do even more than that. The Democrats will have an army out there “harvesting” ballots. If you know someone who is sick of the Gavin Newsom/Karen Bass nightmare, help them with their ballot to vote to change California back to the Golden State it once was.
If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime, or decline in LA again. Get off your butt and VOTE, or enjoy what you get.
@MikeNellis Democrats will look at you dead in the eye and say we need to feed kids…
…and then tax you for it, funnel it to NGOs that don’t feed children, and then steal all the money
Democrats were performing this ridiculous charade while BLM grifters were fleecing them (and their liberal “useful idiots”) out of billions of dollars. It’s now only good for a chuckle, as we look back on these fools.
Never give them power again, however. They are a menace.
