Democrats are forging plans to raise tax rates on companies and wealthy individuals next year if they hold the White House and win control of Congress.
Oh good. We’re pretending proposals are accomplishments again.
Vote in November, or be ready to accept what Republicans decide for our nation.
I intend to vote for Biden in November. That will not stop Republicans from deciding, since Democrats keep adopting their policies, like they have with immigration.
You think we’re gonna get more than 60 this time? If not, We’re only gonna see who the next Manchin is.
It’s only filibuster-proof.
Here’s where I point out once again that Democrats could have done away with the filibuster for good at any point during which they had a simple majority. If they wanted to. They don’t want to.

It’s already passed approval by the IRS and the Department of the Treasury. If Democrats vote more than Republicans, they will control Congress.
Which only means we’ll get to find out who the next Manchin is.
One seat won’t matter with a sizable majority.
So we’ll get to find out who the next Lieberman is.

We had a supermajority for Lieberman. It does not matter how big a majority we give Democrats. They find the no votes. They capitulate.
The “supermajority” was a 60-40 split. That’s not a true 67/33 supermajority. It’s only filibuster-proof. It also only lasted 72 days.
