Remember when Mitch McConnell said that no president can nominate a Supreme Court Justice during an election but went ahead and did it anyway as soon as Republicans were in power? That’s EXACTLY what he’ll do with the filibuster.
@Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Americans that the filibuster needs to exist.
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson Thanks for the follow! I am still trying to figure out why it exists. I understand the minority party deserves rights, but I do not understand how obstruction of the majority is fair at all. We see how well that played out in Iraq and Syria.
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson Or that electing 45 would actually be a good president. The guy isn't even a good person!
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson The Filibuster Devil: sucked me in with Jimmy Stewart and spit me out with Strom Thurmond.
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson An, I’m pretty sure it was trickledown economics
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson And gerrymandering and the nuclear option and all the GOP screwing around with legislative procedure.
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson Yep. Canada here. In our system, if a party wins a majority Government, they get to enact their agenda. Then run on their record in 4 years. It’s not anarchy.
@ifindkarma @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson If we stick together on this, well, just like that – poof – he's gone!
@ifindkarma @corvid317 @Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson Erin go Bragh! 🍀☘️ Sláinte!
