    Republicans don’t allow that to stop them. When the Dems had all three branches of government during Obama’s first term they let McConnell fuck with judge picks the entire fucking time. What did the Dems do when Trump came into office and started picking judges? Fuck all.

    The Dems are a broken feckless party and need to be replaced. I don’t even know who their target base voter is, because it isn’t me. I am not looking for a center-right pro-billionaire party.

      It also didn’t stop Democrats from passing the massive inflation reduction act.

      The key here is Reconciliation of Budget, either the federal government shuts down in opposition to a bill like these or one party buckles to the other.
