The presidency was awaiting him. No doubt for me that he would have filled that office one day. He was loved by many and respected by even more.

His interactions even with those with opposing views, more often than not went away with Charlie having planted a seed. He always showed respect.
It’s been a great game.

And only reason I’m watching is because YoutubeTV cancelled ESPN. :bow:
Nuke it, but the Republicans don’t have the numbers to do it. I would think maybe 40 would vote to go nuclear and the Dims know it. We have the majority, but we don’t have enough members with a backbone to do anything with it.

Move someplace cheaper! But, but, but,… they are entitled to live where they want!!! The meanie capitalists just need to make it affordable for everyone!

We are doomed!
I don’t have issue with ending filibuster but I don’t think the Senate republicans have the stomach for it.

Wife (no pics) and I dined at WH after the Cleverlys show a couple months back. Made for a great night.

It was about 10 o’clock and I kept thinking back to my single days and realized I was 5 hours early and that I wouldn’t have made it there until about 3 am back then. Lol. Times have changed.

Despite pressure from the far left, democrats haven’t done it yet when they have had power. For the first two years of the Biden presidency, he had a majority in both chambers. There will calls to eliminate the 60 vote filibuster, and many people thought they were gonna do it. But they resisted because they realized Republicans will also have the same type of majority again one day.


Yes they have. 12 years ago when they packed the courts with liberal judges. The went with the nuclear option then.

And they didn’t have enough Dim support to do anything but install judges. Manchin wouldn’t vote for it.
I’m surprised the press isn’t already calling for it and blaming the Republicans for not using it because,…. ‘It’s for the children!!!!!’

I am YUGELY against this. Just remember, there’s going to come a time when Democrats are back in charge and we cannot afford to have them be able to enact their entire demented and deranged agenda with simple majority votes in both houses.


But they can. It’s just against usual rules. Any majority can envoke it.

It just doesnt do much good to unless you have control of White House and House of Representatives
It’s been used twice for judge confirmations in the last 12 years. Dems did it first then Republicans.

They can use the nuclear option to get the CR, then go back to normal rules afterward. I say go. The general population doesn’t care how it gets done. They just want the gov opened back up.

I got an air fryer that’s like a toaster over. Works better and quicker than the little bucket fryer. And cooks pizzas.

Walmart usually has it for about $50 on Black Friday and it’s very easy to clean.

My twins (boy girl)were born at 31 weeks. They were about 3 1/2 pounds each. My son had issues with his lungs at birth but he recovered without issue. My daughter had a brain hemorrhage at a week old and now has very mild cerebral palsy. But she graduated Tech a year ago Magna cum laude with a double major English technical writing and also Spanish.

I get choked up talking about them because I know how fortunate I am to have them being born premature when babies were being aborted at the same point of development. They are truly special kids.
Islam will be the undoing of mankind. It will overtake the world population and stifle ingenuity. I can see us slowly overtaken and slowly dying off. The Fermi paradox will be attained with brown people in huts/rubble killing anyone with an original thought.

Islam is the world civilization prospering’s biggest threat.
But more importantly, what does Jimmy Kimmel think?

Put down the bottle. Nothing out there starting up over tariffs. Nobody is that pissed off. Besides the Dims.
It was too late to be mominated this year, and he won’t win next year because his peace deal will technically be for this year, by 2 days so it won’t be applicable.

:rolleyes:
