It's pretty dishonest to point to their filibuster vote as the reason they were purged. They were gone regardless of this vote.

Manchin? Yes. Sinema? No.

 

[Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus]

Prices are at ABSURD highs

That was my point.

is this supposed to change the fact that i keep track of how much things costs when i buy them because four dollars for a gallon of milk is a bit steep, you can get it for like $2.80 at aldi

The point is the average price is not down so it doesn't matter if it's slightly cheaper wherever you live.

The people arguing for destroying the filibuster are retarded. The pendulum always swings back and I don't want to give future Democrat majority congresses the power to pass whatever stupid shit they think of with a simple majority.

the Democrats tried to nuke it last time they were in power and only failed by two votes and those two are gone now. The dems are openly saying they are going to do it next time and pack the supreme court the first chance they get. the filibuster is essentially already gone, the question is if the republicans are going to be the ones to officially kill it and save the country or are the democrats going to kill it and destroy the country.

i don't know how wise it was to expect that the president, a man who can only affect economic policy in certain areas, would actually be able to instantly reduce the price of everyday groceries. what has been reduced are things that he has control over, and what hasn't are at least being affected by other, longer-term policy and investment into future planning. you can't really make sweeping changes to economic policy without at least asking your top guys what their takes are, and those top guys are all brand new, so it will take some time for them to get their footing properly. rfk was ready for it, and hit the ground running, though i'm disappointed with how little the new admin has actually done with all that. tylenoltism is the best thing to come from it so far.

Except prices went up instead of down or stagnent so it shows the president in fact does have some control over prices. His policies have directly resulted in more expensive things, aside from eggs which his policies brought down, again an observable metric of the president being able to affect prices.

The don't need that as there are only 9 MAGA senators. Republicans will pass everything the dems want. As seen from the california redistricting. All the gop states are now not doing it but they gave a free pass for the dem states to do it. So the net effective is dem gains and gop losses.

So every red state cucked on redistricting? Jesus fuck it keeps getting worse.

The Dems have one unifying message. White people bad. Even teaching children about sodomy has the muslim faction against it. And that faction is rapidly gaining power.

The Rs are controlled by Jewish donors who also believe white people bad. But that Muslim people worse.

They freaked out because the Dems have significant elements who hate jews but the same jew tactics that worked when Dem leadership was mostly white dont really work and their "fellow whites" act backfired when it came to memetic weapons they unleashed against white people.

Now that Trump is prioritizing Jew cleanup they will happily backstab and withdraw support they gave to Trump in 24. Watch Jews like Ackham fail to support Rs or openly support a Dem who is Jew positive.

Looks like gay race communism is already a foregone conclusion then.

If the filibuster gets zapped and the GOP loses the midterms what do you think happens then?

if its not nuked now, they change the rules 2 weeks after the GOP tries this shit so that they can "protect women and vulnerable communities". Their base and media will applaud them for it.

But fillibuster still totally applies to all appointments*. We didnt really kill the fillibuster chuds! You saying we did is misinformation and Snopes agrees!

*while an R is president

Ok buddy, dont even include a whole year when publishing your "historical data" and dont include any links, love that shit
Milk

Flour

Prices are at ABSURD highs

also the price of these things has gone up a lot but this is pointing to a 30 cent item raising to 50 cents and going "look you retard it went up 70%" which pales in comparison to a $5 commodity like beef going up 50%. eggs got up to $7 a fucking dozen i refuse to concede over milk going up 25 cents

You already know what's going to happen. There are only a single digit number of MAGA senators. They won't get rid of the filibuster.

I was about to close the tab where I got the images for the simpsons screenshot in my earlier post and I just scrolled a little further and I happened to find the democrats most coherent and well made meme yet



If this is satire, I tip my cap. If its genuine I utter a silent prayer of hope for humanity's collective intelligence

 

[JustSomeDong]

Man it would be really awkward if the government kept the average price data for some of those things. And something like milk looked like:

Or flour like:
Ver archivo adjunto 8143015

That would be really unfortunate.

It would be more unfortunate to expand to look even further back than 2024.
So I'm just going to go ahead and do that for you. I'm a helpful soul.


After all, I'm sure you'll agree with me that we should be well informed, amirite?

 

[Shadow the Niggerhog]

Yeah.....but we already know the second the Dems get in power they are going to kill the filibuster (they nearly succeeded less then 5 years ago).

So we need to deal with the reality we have now where it shank first or get shanked later.

It sounds more like the Democrats put the other team into a checkmate. You either do what the Democrats want or you do what the Democrats want and will do.

 

[quaawaa]

Texans and Florida niggers because they're the current target destination for all the fleeing Californian locusts and Jew Yorkers which drives prices up of everything due to demand (millions of shitheads not including any illegal aliens they've received during Biden)

Leftists never leave their bughives unless forced to by an employer. They’re cucks/leeches who love paying for/being dependent on government programs. They’re afraid that their wives will cheat on them not be able to access “healthcare” and that their “trans” kids will be murdered. They’re not the ones who leave.

The only reason why Texas isn’t blue and Florida isn’t purple is because of transplants from blue states, most of whom are more conservative than the native conservatives (who vote for nice sounding things like “helping the homeless” that anyone fleeing the west coast has a reflexive reaction to because they know it means “turn parks and streets into drug dens”). “Native” Texans are majority anchor babies educated by anti-American public school teachers who vote to protect their parents from being deported.

 

[Back me up!]

It sounds more like the Democrats put the other team into a checkmate. You either do what the Democrats want or you do what the Democrats want and will do.

I would say it's more the old rules are gone and the GOP has to realize that the other side wants them dead. Being timid is the worst play here.

 

[Not Quite Retarded]

Young people these days have zero patience. Let me remind you, and the other idiots who want it all now now now of something:



If the filibuster gets zapped and the GOP loses the midterms what do you think happens then?

I mean, couldn't Trump just veto any bills they try to pass?

 

[Fatpacks]

It sounds more like the Democrats put the other team into a checkmate. You either do what the Democrats want or you do what the Democrats want and will do.

Yep. Democrats already won the next several elections from this alone. Say goodbye to your freedom.

 

[Shadow the Niggerhog]

I would say it's more the old rules are gone and the GOP has to realize that the other side wants them dead. Being timid is the worst play here.

What exactly would be the best plan if the filibuster is gone and MAGA is still the active admin?

RIP all those poor public servants' long weekend

Is it actually confirmed that the GOP states aren't fucking hell-gerrymandering?

I mean I wish I could be surprised but I would like more information.

Ya'll remember old Judge Jeb Boasberg?

You know the Democratic judge that been fucking over Trump since 2016? The guy who appointed Jack Smith. Issuing nation wide TRO's against anything Trump did, hidden subpoenas on members of congress, contempt charges on a sitting PotUS etc ect.

Welp some GoP Senator have now opened impeachment charges on him.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/229/text

Funny that the GOP was OK with ole Jeb attacking Trump but once they found out Jeb was handing out subpoenas like candy for their own private details they suddenly have a problem with him?

If every single politician in the whole world were to drop dead this instant can you imagine the world we would have?

Will old Jeb get the boot? Probably not. His Democratic bosses will do everything to protect his ass as Jeb has shown he's willing to do anything the DNC elites want without question. Making him very important to them so I'd guess the uni-party will find a RINO or two who will vote against the impeachment so in really this is yet another nothing burger.

The renegade Dem judges will keep doing anything to slow the Trump train down and the political class will pretend nothing is wrong and look the other way because doing something is hard and dangerous so it's better to do nothing and keep sucking down the public grift.

I will give Grassley some credit, I dunno if it's just preformative or not, but he's sent an official letter as the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee to Chief Justice Roberts about all the shit going on in the lower courts. Roberts as Chief Justice of the SCOTUS is also head of the DoJ Judaical Ethics Committee.

https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/pr...ess-federal-judges-possible-ethics-violations

“As the Chairmen of the Committees on the Judiciary in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, we preside over the congressional committees with legislative and oversight jurisdiction over the federal courts. We are deeply concerned that these public attacks on the Court from sitting federal judges damage the public’s faith and confidence in our judicial system. When judges call into question the legitimacy of their own branch of government, they erode faith in the institution itself,”

Will Roberts do something? Nah I don't think so. He wants his invites to the DC child fucking parties so he will wiffle-waffle until the mid term in the hope this all goes away when the Dems retake everything and things can get back to the more normal activities of DC.

It really does boil down to "to save America, you must deport all shitskins."

Which is extremely depressing.
