I doubt they abolish it. After all, Republicans have already abolished it for the things they care about. Republicans love the filibuster as it currently exists because their opponents need 60 votes to enact their polices while they only need 50.I haven't kept up with the dozens of pages of posts.
What's the current line on the number of hours/days it takes after the new Congress is sworn in for the Senate to abolish the filibuster?
It'll be faster to dissolve the Senate.I haven't kept up with the dozens of pages of posts.

I hate to break it to you but we are likely on the way to what amounts to a near nationwide abortion ban. They will likely try to use the Comstock Act to make it illegal to transport abortion drugs across state lines.
I guess states could of course set up their own manufacturing capabilities but that will take a while.
Well DJT said he wouldn't sign that, and he is very trustworthy. Maybe they will focus their efforts on the horrible fentanyl crisis them keep whining about, rather than worrying about enforcing abortion for white women. You know they don't really want brown babies being born unrestricted especially if those brown babies are then citizens.

He's not going to sign anything. What they are going to do is judge shop to the northern district of Texas and pull a friendly judge who will say the Comstock Act prohibits this. Then the Trump administration will say 'well shucks, our hands are tied!'Well DJT said he wouldn't sign that, and he is very trustworthy.

After 40+ years of Reaganomics, Americans are too poor to have faith in America. They placed their faith in Cheeto Jesus instead.It is pretty incredible how in the last 10 years the US went from a normal, functioning democracy to what amounts to an authoritarian state where the president can kill at will and no laws apply to him, run by a convicted felon.
Friendly judge who was completely unqualified who was nominated by Trump.*He's not going to sign anything.

The median American is vastly better off today than they were in 1980.After 40+ years of Reaganomics, Americans are too poor to have faith in America. They placed their faith in Cheeto Jesus instead.
I know I am awaiting the deportation of millions of brown people back to their countries which will cost hundreds of billions of US dollars and cost us trillions of dollars in lost growth. Maybe they will deport the millions of Irish people because we aren't white people.

Weirdly I remember reading that wealth inequality is a bigger driver of social unrest than absolute spending power.The median American is vastly better off today than they were in 1980.
FRED data on real median household income only goes back to 1984 but in constant 2023 dollars median household income in 1984 was ~$58k while it is ~$80k today.
They tried it in Georgia back in 2013 I believe. The trial run failed miserably so of course the Reich wanted to try it nationwide and take their chances.Americans better be ready to step up and work the fields, work the service jobs they like to look down on, and do it for shit pay like the immigrants.
That's great and all, but after a summer day in the sun I look like a beige savage, and my gf is blind and on SSI, so we may be fucked six ways to Sunday.
There was a great video from over here (I think maybe Boston, definitely in Lincolnshire). It was a super Brexit area and loads of people interviewed said they'd vote for Brexit because of the foreigners coming over here and taking their jobs and that that's why they were unemployed.They tried it in Georgia back in 2013 I believe.

This is also shown in the data. Although median household income is up vs. 40 years ago, average income grew a lot more. So that means the bottom third of households has seen little gain relative to the upper middle class and above.Weirdly I remember reading that wealth inequality is a bigger driver of social unrest than absolute spending power.
Like you might be a bit better off than people from 1980 and be able to have a better quality of life but if you are still living below your peers that won't matter.
Someone else needs to do those jobs not lily white people who get burnt by the slightest exposure to sunlight.There was a great video from over here (I think maybe Boston, definitely in Lincolnshire).

Turned out there was a farmer on the interview team that offered everyone who said that a job on the spot. Literally everyone turned him down.
Supply and demand. If the farmer is only paying $5/hr, it's no surprise no one wants to work for that.There was a great video from over here (I think maybe Boston, definitely in Lincolnshire).

You are correct that people view themselves in relation to others, yes. Certainly are plenty of people who would rather make $75k and be the richest guy in town than make $100k and be the poorest.Weirdly I remember reading that wealth inequality is a bigger driver of social unrest than absolute spending power.
