I don't believe McConnell

[mysteryowl]

No way are the repukes serious about banning assault weapons etc. It is lip service.
I call BS!

I also want to say that 50-52 Senators are holding Americans hostage.

1. Of course it's bullshit, that's all mcconnell has.

[Harker]

2. A "bi-partisan solution" will wind up being a partisan standoff.

They'll say they tried everything.

[Raven123]

3. Nope. Just looking for a campaign issue. Talk but no action till post election. Then forget about it

[SWBTATTReg]

4. Perhaps another reason to expand the Senate and/or House, to include more members, who'll

truly represent what the majority of Americans want. These republican thugs have gotten the numbers down pat, to try and have a super majority in both houses eventually. We must not allow them this, otherwise, democratic government will go out the door and our Supreme Court will get worse.

9. If communist East Germany and democratic West Germany can reunite..

.. why can't we reconcile the Dakotas, the Carolinas and the Virginias??
That would eliminate some mostly awful Senators. Then add PR & DC

5. bought and paid-for by the NRA

Citizens United.

6. Well they are on recess for two weeks. I wonder why the senate majority leader

is allowing this. I think it should be cancelled. Sure let them have Monday off, but back to work Tuesday and not June 13.

7. Mitch wants to have discussions aka "talk it to death" now it is time to pass H.R. 127*

16. Absolutely. This is a deflection play, a delaying ploy to let the issue cool down.

The good news is Mitch is seeing that the GOP's "all in" gun stance is a political problem, or else he wouldn't even bother with this flimsy fig leaf.

8. Whose idea was it to put Manchin and

Sinema on the committee. That’s not bipartisan. It’s more like a right-leaning think tank.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Tells us right away the committee is worthless.

[FakeNoose]

11. I'll believe him when he gives back his NRA money

... but it ain't gonna happen!

[Paladin]

12. If McConnell's lips are moving, he's lying. (nt)

[Novara]

13. 52-48

Manchin and Sinema are on the side of classroom slaughters. Neither refuses to budge on the filibuster.

Even if we didn't have the filibuster, Manchin won't side with Democrats on gun reforms. Sinema might vote for gun reforms, but she won't eliminate the filibuster so the point is moot.

14. it is so depressing that we are being ruled by the minority

[Novara]

15. Yes. It infuriates me.

And think about it: if the 2020 election was stolen, why the hell didn't we "steal" a solid majority in the Senate as well?
