@Anc_Aesthetics@GeraldoRivera What matters to the liberals is that they're above everyone else.

There is a serious constitutional crisis when the legislative branch of the federal government is unable to legislate because of self-imposed ‘extra-constitutional’ rules and procedures. The Byrd Rule… named for a long-dead Democrat leader who appears to control the Senate from the grave. The filibuster rule that can’t work because of some long ago interpretation of the filibuster process.
The question is whether the Senate leaders will continue to allow their foolish adherence to arcane rules and procedures to create this constitutional crisis.
They say they won’t “nuke” the filibuster. But they also won’t overturn the long ago ruling by a parliamentarian who “interpreted” the 2-speech rule to mean the filibuster can never ever end.
As we have had to learn more about the Senate rules, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Senate is refusing to protect the filibuster by overturning the interpretation that makes the filibuster impossible to end without a supermajority.
That’s a constitutional crisis and rather than seriously address the issue and the procedures and the rules, the Senators left town.
So disgraceful.
We will know soon enough where these Senators went if they traveled during the recess. How many went on junkets. Who had fundraising trips. What they did rather than face their responsibilities.
Like funding DHS.
Like securing our elections.
Like addressing this constitutional crisis they have allowed to take over the Senate and that they refuse to remedy.
This is not what the voters bargained for. This irresponsible bunch of Senators who refuse to protect the Senate and ensure its ability to function to serve the people.
They’re mad at @BasedMikeLee for calling this all into public view.
On full display so we now see it - understand it. And hate it. But he’s not the problem. They just didn’t want the public to ever find out. But now we know. And we are disgusted.

With the SAVE Act stalled, confirmation choke points preserved, recess appointments blocked, and Thune’s institutionalist Senate still in command, the message from the GOP is clear: they would burn the party than let MAGA succeed.
Senate Leader John Thune admits he has multiple ways to pass the Save America Act with “just a simple majority” but hasn’t bothered to even attempt to start the process
Reporter “Don't you risk alienating some of your base if you're unable to pass the Save America Act?”
John Thune “We have two legislative vehicles, as you know, available to us. So we could tee one of those up and that's an option and we'll see if that's what it takes to get some of these things across the finish line. We can do it with simple majorities”
Just wow…..
We won the popular vote.
We control the Supreme Court.
We won majorities in the House and Senate.
Americans want GOP policies and Voter ID is supported by 80%+ of all Americans.
And all John Thune can do is make excuses for his incompetence and backstabbing.
Let me get this straight. There's SNAP fraud, EBT fraud, Medicaid and Medicare fraud, home healthcare fraud, daycare fraud, medical transportation fraud, and hospice fraud, but definitely, absolutely no election fraud?
