Is THIS enough for you to torpedo the filibuster because the majority of senators present voted yes and lost. Lost. That is not constitutional and not fair to all the democrats who came out in droves to win the majority and you sir have allowed them to call the shots. Words are cheap. Do something to enact what is the will of the MAJORITY of the american people.

He sees now how entrenched are the GOP Senators against anything the Democrats want to get passed that do not automatically make the GOP richer and the GOP’s plutocratic base more secure in its ability to continue bleeding the economy and oppressing the working and middle classes.

He sees it. He has been punched in the face by it. There is no doubt -- can be no doubt -- that the GOP in virtually its entirety wants only to maintain its power and doesn’t care if that means the disintegration of democracy.

So now he says he’s upset about the GOP’s adamant stance against an open and fair non-partisan investigation into an insurrection. Well, Joe, come on over to the side of freedom and fairness and vote to kill the goddam filibuster. If you won’t do that, just shut up -- or at least admit that you don’t care about the Biden agenda and would rather see Loser-45 and his gang of grifters back in power.
