Don't forget: The Democrats are going to nullify the filibuster to pack the court, and you can thank Mitch McConnell for that.

Mitch McConnell claimed that he would not agree to a power-sharing rule -- without which the Senate could not function -- unless it was coded into the rules of this Senate that the filibuster could not be repealed.

Schumer said "No." Bitch McConnell immediately folded and said "Okay then."

He put up a token resistance, which is all the Grifter Old Pricks every put up.

He was helped in this newest showing of Failure Theater by Joe Manchin and Kristin Sinema, who both said publicly, at this exact moment, that they would not be interested in scrapping the filibuster.

In other words, they were asked by Charles Schumer, or Bitch McConnell, to provide him face-saving cover for allowing the Democrats to nuke the filibuster.

They weren't even asked to make a promise. And they didn't make any promise. They offered no guarantee. They even couched it in a way that suggested the filibuster would come in time: they said they were not interested in scrapping it... at this moment.

Which means, of course, in a moment to come, they will vote to scrap the filibuster.

Bitch McConnell knows this, of course.

But he needed Failure Theater to cover up his newest betrayal.

He needed just a tiny bit -- just the tiniest bit -- of plausible deniability to show to the Rubes to explain away his latest, completely-unforeseeable catastrophic failure.

When they do nuke it -- when, out of the blue!, Manchin and Sinema reverse their previous claimed position and say "aye" to ending the filibuster -- Bitch McConnell will say, as those "Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden" said, "Gosh darn it, we was hoodwinked again! We got bamboozelated!"

Again.

I'm personally not voting for this party again until they begin demonstrating that my support is worth anything at all.

It doesn't matter if they're in power or out of power. It doesn't matter if they have a majority or not.

They just enact the Democrat platform. Always. Forever.

Because they are Democrats.
