I know he wasn’t able to get everything he wanted, but damn, I am so thankful we have this man as president. Smart, decent, compassionate, funny, and full of empathy.
I really missed that in a President, and am so thankful he’s leading us right now.

I find it hard to believe that any of them would not agree to “restore” the filibuster to its original form. The talking filibuster actually fulfills the objective of prolonging debate which they claim is what they want. (Of course, right now, the faux-libuster does the opposite by preventing any public debate on important matters.
So let’s stop saying “alter” or “reform” the filibuster and start saying “restore” the filibuster. What could be more traditional, and dare I say, conservative than that?
Or so they claim. They would NOT prefer to suffer the effects of that. Debt is perhaps the most important invention of the past 1000 years. Rediscovery, really, as it existed in antiquity.
