  • I know. But they don’t want to get rid of the filibuster. The Republicans in the Senate are much less in sync with Trump than House Republicans. Since they’re too chickenshit to really stand up to him, the filibuster allows the Democrats to do the work of denying cloture, and Republicans get to avoid the threats that come with openly defying him.

    The VP can override the parliamentarian, but the Senate can override the VP’s override. And it’s worth pointing out that the Senate is very protective of its norms and traditions against outside influence, even now.



  • There is no mechanism by which to cancel elections in the United States, even under martial law. We’ve had them during every major conflict in our history, including the first Civil War, we’ll continue to have them, even if only in blue and purple states—even if we have to risk our lives for it. Remember, elections are the purview of the states, the only way he takes them away is if they give them away.

    “He’s going to declare martial law to cancel elections” is misinformation. Actually, no. No more benefit of the doubt. At this point it’s disinformation. Please stop spreading it.
