(7,725 posts)the gop can resurrect some esoteric congressional rule time after time....and/or lie about it....and we all go along with it? Where's our research staff? Where's our congressional repository of old style gimmicks etc? Sometimes the gop just makes this shit up and it works (if nothing else) to delay the hearings and vote. if a hearing does come...it should be mid-november bc congress (as per their own scheduling history) is booked up months in advance.
If Roe is over turned...every pulpit in every church will sing the praises of dt. They can and will do it, and the gop has implemented laws that say they still pay no tax. Not sure about any of you but, if you gotta punt or stretch the truth to save our country...then...let's pull the pin on that fricken smoke grenade and toss it in to delay the thing. Why does it only work for the gop, and we just go along with it???..."Oh, we found an OLD arcane rule, and we are going to use it." If i had ten dollars for every time something like that was heard on cspan etc...I could buy us all a drink.
OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE HERE. THAT"S NO SHIT. TRY EVERYTHING...imo.
We have everything to lose.
And talking about/like what they want, only normalizes the whole affair imo. Say our position and walk away. if the gop has to go it alone, then that in itself is enough.
aside...PLEASE WV,...smarten up enough to know Joe MAnchin is playing you like your daddys home made ukulele. He says he's Democrat to fool you. Stop the Manchin madness, or vote for a repub bc in your heart you know you are.
