Every senator let through the unanimous consent to make the whole thing take 5 minutes. Every one of them is lying to you about their opposition

The least sinister (but probably just as enraging) explanation has always been "they just wanna get out of the Senate chambers and off the clock." Why make the process take longer when they could fail quickly and go home?

This is most of the reason but remember it next time they tell you how important the senate is for allowing slow and careful deliberation and debate

I fully recommend this. It's funny, it's scary, it's hilarious, it's scary, it provokes thought, it's funny...and all of it intended. Excellent acting and "world building". So to speak. I don't want to spoil anything...
The premise is not the most original in baseline, but once explored...a blast.

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Have you considered kicking out the people who gave up the fight and picking a new leader who is capable of leading the same
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

My beef with the Senate Dems is that things were turning around. Trump’s polls were in free fall. That’s not the time to make a bad deal, unless there were other factors we don’t know about. And that kind of shit is rarely good.

I am enough of a libertine that I believe nudity is not wrong, sex itself is not wrong, and all of that "different strokes" stuff, and I still think being a grown-ass adult man who uses social media to follow and keep track of porn stars is pretty sketchy.

There is no doubt in my mind that every person in Trump's inner circle - every single one of them - just despises him.
