Over the 1ast 48 hours President Biden has laid out his plan for Corvid relief and financial stability. The liberal blogs are still busy trying to decide what to do about Trump. They are not ready to move on to getting Biden's plans passed.
Biden has not, yet mentioned killing the filibuster, but I think it should be part of his plan. There is a lot of bad and good that might come from killing the filibuster, but Republicans have been obstructing for decades. It's time to simply override their obstructing and pass legislation that will move the country forward.
Most legislation still needs a 2/3rds vote to pass. Some matters can pass with a simple majority; and don't expect any Republicans to cross over to help pass Democratic legislation. Republicans have already said they won't vote for a $1400 checks, to stop evictions, or for a $15.00 minimum wage, etc.,etc..... The grim reaper of Republicanism is alive and well even though Trump is gone.
So lets get behind Biden and his plans. Let Trump go to the ash pile of history. Plenty of States are charging Trump and if we are lucky he will end up in jail, which is more than the Congress can do to him.
Yes, we can look forward and demand accountability at the same time.
ReplyDeleteNot according to the Senate Republicans. They intend to do things once at a time. They have stated that when the trial starts they will only handle the trial and nothing else at the same time.
DeleteI have a question about ex-officials who are afforded Secret Service protection for life after office. If that 'official' just happened to be convited of crimes involving, say, a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong prison term .... how do they go about deciding on shifts for the SS agents? reckon?

That would be a new situation for the SS. My guess would be this person would have to be in solitary confinement for ever, for his own safety. It would be a good place for this person, in jail for the rest of his life.
DeleteI certainly agree with you and Rodney King. Like you I don' thin' that's what MITCH and The Flying Monkeys have in mind, however.
DeleteI live in Colorado's 3rd Congressional district. Yup ... the district that just elected riot incitin', Glock totin' Lorena Bobbitt .... I mean Lauren Boebert to Congress. It wasn't close. I'm all for backing President Biden and Auld Lang Syne. My fellow Colorado 3rd constituents? Not so much. I'm takin' Bette's advice and buckling tf up!
