Senate has the numbers to kill the filibuster and pack the court but...no, we can’t do that because reasons.

See, the important thing is to get bills passed, in a legislature in which roughly half of the members are actively stoking an insane death cult.

What’s indisputable is the two branches that direct policy (rather than the one that interprets) sat on their fucking hands all year and it’s getting exhausting watching all the water carriers blame SCOTUS.

You mean Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema? Cause the Dems could kill the filibuster.

I guess the centrists could like write a bill too. Remind me who holds a majority of the caucus again? Remind me who controls what bills hit the floor?

WOW WHAT A SHOCK “cdwag14" the fake Black commenter is back with another dumb take! Is there a Don Henley song that explains why centrist Dems can’t seem to ever get anything done? Make sure you use plenty of Black slang when you reply to this, you fucking idiot.

Exactly. Dems hold TWO branches of government yet they put all their hopes on SCOTUS at the 13th hour?

*yawn*

The Legislature says it’s the Executive’s problem. The Executive says it’s the Judicial’s problem. The Judicial says it’s the Legislature’s problem.

Biden and Pelosi were probably surprised.

Yep. We are the (on average, collectively) dumbest, most proudly stupid motherfuckers alive. We could have it all - all of it - and enough of us have been so conditioned to keep our aspirations mud puddle-low that we’d rather languish and die.

This country is just going down the sewer pipe. When you can’t do basic fucking shit to protect public health in pandemic, it’s a wrap. 

Thanks Breyer, for stickin around and doin nothin. Get outta here and try to let Biden get something good done with his time and don’t pull an RBG. 

Oughtta work out well. Boy howdy.

This is what happens when folks sleep on the legislative branches at all levels. No branch should be slept on. Enshrinement via legislation can stymie even the most anti-you judiciary and sheer numbers can weaken even the veto powers of the executive. And it’s more than the US federal level, state and local need…

Sitting in one as I write this. They are.

We wish it was that simple and funny right? If only.

I feel like they had a good 4+ years of leading everyone around by their noses... but after Jan. 6th, the mob is driving itself now and any attempts to redirect them are going to put a target on your back.

A family I know of (in-laws of a friend of mine), all hardcore Trump supporters, lost two people to covid and had another in the ICU with it, yet they have not wavered one iota from the party line. None of them are vaccinated and they continue spouting the usual QAnon nonsense about it. According to my friend, they…

That must have been a thing of beauty.
