re: #70 jaunte

It’s important to have a scapegoat.

Ayep. It’s like I said, the leadership is basically between the proverbial rock and a hard place. The vote margin they have now means they can’t get anything passed on a partisan vote without keeping the loonies, but keeping the loonies means passing shit that will be political poison. So the leadership is taking option three: Just allow Democrats to keep killing bills via filibuster as a cover for shitty bills going nowhere.
