      In my imagination there are increasingly desperate actions they could do to stop the bill from proceeding. Pull the fire alarm. Start a fire. Cover all the chairs with honey. I don’t know. I feel like if it looked like a portal to hell was about to open I would break a lot of norms and rules to stop it

        Apparently they’re not even allowed an open floor to talk, but Hakeem Jeffries at least took the opportunity for 08:44

          That’s the house, and only because it was a bill passed back to the house, after previous passage, to review senate revisions. Otherwise they would have been allowed to debate much more if this was the first time the house had the bill.

        It’s not just your imagination. Think back to the last 8 years and how much horseshit has come out that “wasn’t law” but was allowed. That same thinking and action could easily be applied by the opposition, but it turns out the opposition is a wet paper towel.

        I’m not smart enough to steer this, but there has to be a group trying to put together a legitimate third party. Let’s talk about that. Anytime theres a fucking comical issue upfront, talk about that, and don’t relent.
