Soxbadger Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This from McConnell: Quote "This election, actually, was not unusually close," McConnell says. "The Electoral College margin is almost identical to what it was in 2016... If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral." I may not like his politics, I may disagree with what he stands for, but he played the game by the rules that were created. History will be unkind to his positions, but he was a formidable opponent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh if they breech much deeper, it's federal police authorized with lethal force and tasked to defend the US Capitol Building at all costs. With, like, big-boy hardware.

He can change his tone today because he's basically out of choices but dude is a complete garbage human being. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the party that respects law and order. Surely all the police have to do is tell them how to behave, and all will comply peacefully.

With the filibuster intact, there's gonna be no statehood for PR and DC. I don't think the Republicans will be so obstructionist that it will force the Democrats to nix the filibuster. He's morally bankrupt, but he's really smart and he knows exactly where the line is and will run right up to it. Also, I don't favor statehood for DC. Maybe the first thing the new Democratic majority should do is change the law that allows for these stupid objections to the counting of electoral votes.

You have to look at it the other way. The GOP controls the senate most of the time and if they get dems to kill the filibuster that allows them to continue their fascist takeover of the government. They believe they will gain power again. Edited January 6, 2021 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will find the balance of not filibustering enough other things that the Dems don't change the rules over their filibuster on statehood and the SC expansion.
