        i never owned any, i've just been destroying suits for years. -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 23, 08:56 1
        
        Yeah, I had to start buying nothing but breakaways. Cost a bit more but still a savings over all those that I ruined like that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 09:02

I really wish the Dems would use their majority to raise the debt ceiling quickly. -- (edited) - Inigo Sep 23, 06:56 23
- This is all on Mitch the Bitch. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 23, 07:00 17
  - But they don't need him. They just don't want to only use their majority because: - Inigo Sep 23, 07:04 16
    - You have to kill the filibuster first -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 07:13 13
      - Not with this. It just needs a majority. -- (link) - Inigo Sep 23, 07:17 12
        
        If they do it via a stand-alone process, Mitch filibusters the CR and shuts down the government. Check. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 07:25 11
        
        I'm not sure what you mean here. They can pass the debt ceiling raise through reconciliation, and bypass the filibuster. - Inigo Sep 23, 07:33 5
        
        So they burn their reconciliation bill and Mitch wins. - znufrii Sep 23, 07:35 4
        
        So, they shut down the government, default on our debt, and Mitch still wins. - Inigo Sep 23, 07:42 3
        
        Regardless, nothing is going to happen until the last possible minute, so… -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 07:59 2
        
        That's the whole point of this thread. - Inigo Sep 23, 08:09 1
        
        I just wish they would do it quickly. - Spawn Sep 23, 08:14
        
        We should go back to making them actually stand there and filibuster the bill. Make them do the work instead of just saying it. - Krusty Sep 23, 07:28 4
        
        But that would cut into fundraising time and we can't have that! -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 07:52 1
        
        I have a way to get rid of the need for that too! -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 07:55
        
        I go back and forth on this. Luckily, it's not up to me. :-) (This article from the Brennan Center has me leaning toward abolish.) -- (link) - mara Sep 23, 07:48 1
        
        Saved to read when I get back from the post office. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 07:56
    - He wants them to either burn their chance at a reconciliation bill, or get rid of the filibuster for him. - znufrii Sep 23, 07:12 1
      - But it's not going to ruin the country. The Dems can raise it without him, and he and other Republicans will point that out. - Inigo Sep 23, 07:27
- but it might offend someone who will never agree to anything they plan to do anyway! -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 06:59 1

- But wait, Joe Manchin needs a new truck, a tiara, a unicorn, and a tray of tacos first. -- nm* - ty97 Sep 23, 06:58 2
  - Id honestly rather see them not have the majority then quite literally make this man King of the Democrats in the Senate. - Jovian Sep 23, 07:02 1
    - Yeah, no. We saw what happened when they didn't have the majority and it was bad. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 07:11

        2025? As you said it was supposed to go live this year and they're going to be delayed four years?!? I fucking hate the MTA -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 06:33 4

        That’s a start, I guess. :) - znufrii Sep 23, 06:42 1
        
        Nice to see it getting done in a reasonable time. - Krusty Sep 23, 06:47
        
        Nothing more frustrating than being on an E or F express that is crawling down Queens Blvd due to 'train traffic ahead' -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 06:25 2
