Reporter in DC today: "So far, every protester I’ve talked to has raised the prospect of violence / another civil war if Trump doesn’t win today." -- (link) - mara Jan 6, 06:43 30

- I've been hearing this from my Republican friends for weeks now. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 06:51 6
  - I hear it from some doughy, pasty middle aged dudes. And I live in a military town. "See that young guy over there checking out the weight sets?" -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 06:55 5
    - Mine are mostly military people as well. I think the concept of "civil war" isn't the same as the 1800's. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 07:06
    - I also enjoy people buying weapons "just in case". What I just sold you will only be effective fighting socialist ducks. -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 06:59 3

- I don't think they truly know what a civil war is. They are actually talking about being a terrorist organization. If they used the correct - crash davis Jan 6, 06:49 2
  - Yeah, nobody's actually worried about a true civil war. One idiot's ignorance of the definition of civil war won't stop him from harming somebody. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 06:57
  - Yup. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 06:50

the most popular fiona apple song on spotify is frosty the snowman. that's so cute. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 6, 06:31 6
- If I were to ask Alexa for the best and most popular Fiona Apple song, which song would I ask for? -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 06:38 5
  - Probably two different things. Criminal would be most popular and it’s a fantastic song but I’m sure fans here can think of better. -- nm* - spamlet Jan 6, 06:39 3
    - sleep to dream is one of the best album openers ever. I remember driving home from 19th street records, popping it in into my cd player - amanda jeans Jan 6, 06:42 2
      - That it is. - spamlet Jan 6, 06:46 1

If this holds, this makes Stacey Abrams a Kingslayer (MM) on the heels of Jim Clyburn becoming a Kingmaker (Biden). -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 06:03 3

why do we hate manchin? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 6, 05:39 16
- Everything said below, and other than Schumer he's the Senator who gained the most power with the results from yesterday. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 06:58
- I don’t. He’s exactly what Democrats need in WV. An electable Democrat. This one-party hegemony is what has gotten us where we are - Will Hunting Jan 6, 06:48
- I don't hate Joe Manchin. I think he represents the people of his state well. I think people should respect that and focus on that. A Manchin in power is better than a Sanders out of power. -- (edited) - crash davis Jan 6, 06:12
- Cuz he lives in a manchin -- nm - budice Jan 6, 05:43
- ohhh from the independent - amanda jeans Jan 6, 05:41 8
  - * -- nm* - mud Jan 6, 05:44
  - Hate is the wrong word but he does juuuust enough to stay within the caucus and still be reelectable in WV. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 05:44 6
    - He'll be the reason any SCOTUS nominee will have to be less liberal than most progressives would like. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 05:49 2
      - Do we know his position on DC and PR statehood? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 06:24 1
        
        Looks like he's against both. -- (link) - Inigo Jan 6, 06:37
    - dude is 73. 1) why doesn't he retire?? 2) in 2024, he'll be 77. who would vote for a 77 year old? (biden I heart u but - amanda jeans Jan 6, 05:48 1
      - He’s the 16th oldest Senator at the moment. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 06:50
    - Right. There’s no one coming out of WV that’s more liberal and he’s the reason it’s SMJ Schumer instead of McConnell. -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 05:47
- * -- nm* - mud Jan 6, 05:41
- People shouldn’t but he’ll be the new Collins. - spamlet Jan 6, 05:41 1

  - Today and Inauguration Day both. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 06:06 2
    - is inaug being held in a tiny ceremony inside? god I hope so. (I hate that I have to hope so.) -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 6, 06:13 1
      - I think the swearing in is still going to be outside. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 06:53
  - I have no worries about that. I'm enjoying this moment and not thinking about the minority party for a while. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 05:45 6
    - I have no real worries about Congress, in fact I think it might be entertaining; but I am worried about the streets. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 06:07 4
      - I'm not worried about the streets either. I think the fascists will end up arguing with themselves and fighting with the police more than anyone else. -- (edited) - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 06:19 2
        
        how is that okay? we want more charges of police brutality, less trust of police? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 6, 06:28 1
        
        It's the head of the snake eating the tail. -- (edited) - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 06:35

Ossoff statement -- (link) - budice Jan 6, 05:24
Takes for the Takes God: - Reagen Jan 6, 05:13 11
- There should be a relief bill in Congress for COVID (with state funding) ASAP. - Inigo Jan 6, 05:29
- I do think it splinters the Republican party for the simple fact that Trump will ask his monkeys to dance for him over and over again... - Inigo Jan 6, 05:17 7
  - I'm not sure he'll live long enough, or be healthy long enough, or be out of legal trouble long enough, to make a big difference. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 06:49

  - I don't think there'll be a formal party split - the structure of the system lends towards consolidation. But a decent part of the wins last night - Reagen Jan 6, 05:20 3
    - Lol. I think they just mean "become like the Democrats" -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 06:43
    - Oh, I'm not saying it'll be formal, but the party will be obviously divided at some point before 2022. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 05:26 1
      - * -- nm* - mud Jan 6, 05:39
- I’m looking at you, Breyer. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 05:15 1

Have the rules of the Senate already been established for this session? -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 05:10 9
- I don't think there's votes to kill the filibuster. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 05:15 7
  - That’s what I’m getting at it. - spamlet Jan 6, 05:28 6
    - Would either you you please be so kind and spell this out for someone from another continent? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 05:45 5
      - The democrats wanted to kill the filibuster so that they could pass anything they wanted to - spamlet Jan 6, 05:49 4
        
        Lol -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 05:55
        
        And the why I think it would be a bad move is that the Dems removed the filibuster for judicial nominees during the Obama years. - spamlet Jan 6, 05:53 2
        
        *nods* It is petty and should be the type of thing they should avoid. Focus on making real substantial changes that benefit Americans and they will - oblique Jan 6, 05:56 1
        
        And they could simply make them talk but it cuts down on fundraising time. The filibuster isn’t a magical weapon. -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 05:57
- Sure. White Mikey goes there, chooses which votes to count and which votes to discard, ???, I win! (NM) - Drumpf Jan 6, 05:13
