This is so disturbing, but I believe it.

Shit ain't over bro. I'm in the deep south right now and they are like fuck a mask. Even indoors during training. They think it's fake and they won't get the vaccine. Shit will be here next year.
They are not getting vaccinated against a "libtard hoax!"
Christopher Browning wrote Ordinary Men. He discovered long lost records about the SS police (Einzwatengruppen) who were assigned to execute Jews in occupied country. They didn't start executing Jews until 939, after the Nazi's had been in power for 6 years. This was before the gas chambers, which didn't start until 41 or 42. They would round Jews up by the hundreds, sometimes thousands and walk them into the woods were they would gun them down. The man knows what the fuck he's talking about. You can find a documentary on Netflix about it. I think it's called Death Troops but I'm probably wrong. If you get a chance to read it, do so. It's a reasonable short book, maybe 300 pages.Politics: Why McConnell Dumped Trump (New Yorker magazine)
Why McConnell Dumped Trump After the Capitol assault—and after losing his perch as Majority Leader—the senator finally denounced the outgoing President. Was it a moral reckoning or yet another act of political self-interest? By Jane Mayer January 23, 2021 Mitch McConnell McConnell’s tactics...www.bgol.us
Christopher Browning, a historian of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany, told me that McConnell has been almost “Houdini-like at escaping his own devil’s pact” with Trump. In a widely admired essay in The New York Review of Books, from 2018, Browning called McConnell “the gravedigger of American democracy,” and likened him to elected officials in Weimar Germany who struck early deals with Hitler, mistakenly believing that they could contain him and his followers.
When I asked Browning if he still regarded McConnell in this way, he said that the new Minority Leader had “cut a better deal than most.” McConnell was “lucky that Trump was so lazy, feckless, and undisciplined.” Hitler didn’t go golfing, Browning pointed out. But Browning found little to celebrate in McConnell’s performance.
“If Trump had won the election, Mitch would not be jumping ship,” he noted. “But the fact is Trump lost, and his coup failed. And that opened an escape hatch for Mitch.” Browning warned, however, that “the McConnell wing was ready to embrace Trump’s usurping of democracy—if Trump could pull it off.”
Senators Manchin and Sinema told Mitch that they wouldn t end filibuster. Supposedly they had a caveat though that they would vote to end it if Mitch didnt act right.So basically thanks to the Bitch ass Dems mitch the bitch got it exactly what he wanted, pressed that weak prick shumar and ended up saving his precious filibuster lol and they ask why people don't vote for them, they promise the world and deliver nothing, all while they line their pockets with special interest money lol wow. Oh well. Nothing new.
If I'm wrong someone tell me since that's exactly what it seems like to me, mitch bluffed the punk ass's soft estrogen milkshake drinking libs and got what he ultimately wanted most, the power to obstruct the administration the same way he did pres obama
I hate shit like this! These "elect" officials don't CARE about losing their jobs in 1,2,3,4+ Years. That's why they clown the way they do. They already have a gig lined up for their non-sense. There needs to be threat of real immediate consquences like in a matter of weeks and no longer than 1 month for elected officials. For example, cats like Cruz and the white chick shouldn't be able to step foot inside a government building after the shit they tried to pull off.
Truly holding these folks to task shouldn't be up to their buddies in government that can look the other way either.
Until you have a system that is quick and non-bias with serious repurcussions they don't care and will do THEIR will and not the PEOPLES will.
For an elected representative to say "I've made up my mind and nothing can change it?" Fuck you think your are? Fuck you think you working for? Yourself?
Oh yeah the media is trying to create something because Trump is gone they need to stop this bullshit MSNBC is still OK to me, Fox News is back on that bullshit again and CNN yes trying to be middle of the road. I would love for the filibuster to be put on the shelf but we need more Democratic senators to pull it off this 50-50 thing is not Enough to change the filibuster right now especially with the knucklehead in West Virginia.
30 minutes ago I would have agreed with you but something else happened.This is false though if McConnell got concessions from two dems not to vote for ending the filibuster.

Agreed! Something happened or was threatened to happen here.
But wait, so if manchin and sinema where secretly down to kill it why not, you know. Kill it. They know they're going to use it to obstruct, it's a guaran-fucking-tee, so what am I missing? Still sound like mitch got that he wanted.agsin if I'm missing something please someone help me lolSchumer probably got word to McConnell that Manchin and Sinema didn't want to kill the filibuster but were now ready to do it if he didn't sign the agreement.
That's roughly the way most people read it, or something similar. Basically, even though those two made statements saying they didn't want to do it, it was mainly for show.Schumer probably got word to McConnell that Manchin and Sinema didn't want to kill the filibuster but were now ready to do it if he didn't sign the agreement.
So in the end, McConnell loses the main fight, because Mitch wanted a rule in place that protected the filibuster for the entire session, but couldn't get it. He can pretend he didn't lose,

Well Mancini organised 15 people who called Biden to complain about theBiden says he's willing to 'compromise' on the stimulus package and Schumer said they probably can't pass a bill until March.
Schumer did not sign anything on paper or by a declarative statementThat's roughly the way most people read it, or something similar. Basically, even though those two made statements saying they didn't want to do it, it was mainly for show.
So in the end, McConnell loses the main fight, because Mitch wanted a rule in place that protected the filibuster for the entire session, but couldn't get it. He can pretend he didn't lose, but he knows that if Republicans start going full obstructionist with the filibuster, Manchin and Sinema can flip and vote to kill it after saying that they gave Republicans a chance to do the right thing. So yeah, we'll probably get a healthy dose of the GOP being dicks about this, but we may also see them behave a little so the Dems don't drop the hammer.
I do not know what is taking Letitia James and Cy Vance so long.That fucking cac can't tweet about any of this shit
