BREAKING - Harry Reid proposing a filibuster "Nuclear Option" - NOW PASSED!

*Blocking of political candidates by a tiny minority of Congress now impossible. Congress now must instead do its job by presenting and considering information and voting to confirm or decline nominees.

Shit, how horrible!

I wonder if the next Republican to be elected President (assuming the party somehow avoids the implosion it seems to be racing toward) would have the same "luxury"...

Oh, wait... s/he would!

Some people don't like to hear about Jarrett, but that thing is instrumental in these days and years past. But, she's not more powerful than God. He's gonna show up you know.

How can this be a bad thing?

This will force people to act like lawmakers rather than simply sticking their fingers in their ears and refusing to play with each other.

Good deal.

Judgement always comes to an unrepentant nation.

~ Psalms 9:17 ~

"The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget G-d."

Harry Reid is a LONG time front man for the mob. The guy is as dirty as they come and has been a life long criminal.

None of this should surprise anyone.

“I’ve gotta Cleanface in my pocket.”

Cleanface was the codename Agosto gave Reid. At the time, Reid was chairman of the all powerful Nevada Gaming Commission.

But there was other evidence that Reid favored the Mob while serving as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. One of his first acts was to approve the sale of the Hacienda Hotel/Casino to an individual named Paul Lowden despite objections by the state’s Gaming Control Board having to do with “hidden associates” of Lowden’s. Lowden later gave $6,000 in campaign contributions to Reid. (54); (55)

Reid also led the Nevada Gaming Commission in approving a deal that allowed associates of Agosto to skim money from the Tropicana. What’s more, Reid also approved applicants for some projects proposed by the Del Webb Corporation, also known to be connected to mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. (56)

Indeed, Reid’s tenure on the Nevada gaming Commission appears to have involved approving quite a few projects for people with mob connections. Moreover, it was Jimmy Carter’s Justice Department which “cleared” Reid of the charge of accepting mob bribes. This was a highly politicized department that was also unable to come up with any prosecutions in the Billygate, KoreaGate, ABSCAM, or BCCI scandals, despite massive evidence of corruption. (57)

It was Mob attorney and sometime Reid business partner, Jay Brown, who was accused of funneling casino money to Reid to influence his votes on the Gaming Commission. FBI informants had fingered Brown but when the grand jury questioned him, he took the fifth and refused to turn over the financial records for the Tropicana Casino, for whom he served as counsel. As a result of Brown’s obstructionism, the Justice Dept probe ended up going nowhere. For years after this, Brown was a heavy donor to Reid. (58); (59)

Essentially, Reid now has a political career and is able to claim he was never charged with bribery, all because the jury refused to believe an FBI information AND due to his buddy, Jay Brown, taking the fifth. No exactly a ringing endorsement of Reid’s honesty.

Reid has accepted money from many mob-connected people:

Morris Shenker, a mob attorney associated with the St. Louis Mafia, Meyer Lansky, Jimmy Hoffa and the Dunes Hotel. He funneled campaign money to Reid through his daughter Patty.
Moe Dalitz, associated with the Cleveland mob. He gave Reid $1,500.
Irwin Molasky & Merv Adelson. These were Dalitz partners in the Rancho La Costa development. Molasky has given at least $15,000 to Read and Adelson have given at least $40,000 to either Reid, his leadership committee or the DSCC which Reid controls.
Ed & Fred Doumani, associated with the Chicago Mob, gave at least $6,000 to Reid and the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Kirk Kerkorian, former owner of Caesar’s Palace, has Mob ties and gave over $100, 000 to Reid or DSCC.
Steve Wynn, connected to the Genovese mafia family, gave Reid at least $19,000.
Sam & Edgar Bronfman. Sam was a bootlegging associate of Meyer Lansky. Edgar is his son. Both have made substantial contributions to Reid
Joseph Alioto. Alioto is a San Francisco politician related to Milwaukee Mafia boss John Alioto and was implicated in the Koreagate bribe scandal. He is his wife gave $5,000 to Reid. (60); (61)

the filibuster isn't in the Constitution, bud.

The Republicans were for this back when they were in the majority, by the way.

[link to vine.co (secure)]

We get it sunshine, the demoncrats can do no wrong in your eyes!!!

Difference...it passed this time.

ROAR! Burn!! HARR HARR

Ladies and gentlemen we are now effectively under zionist communist tyranny .

Now we go into pre ww2 germany mode and the nation comp,etely declines

Blacks and jews will be painted as victims

Nationalism will rise

The world will be fooled into believing blacks and jews are being victimized because they control the media


The world will come and destroy us just like they did germany all based on lies and we will further be enslaved paying reperations to the criminals that started all of this.


Call me whatever you like i dont give a flying goody two shoe fuck but you know what i am telling you is the truth

Yes, yes they were.

This is just another matter of partisan politics and what is good for one side not being good for the other.

What a crock.

Maybe now that this issue is solved, change will happen - as opposed to a bunch of fat old politicians getting paid to waste the country's time and money sitting around with their thumbs in their asses while everything goes down the shitter.

I agree that somthing needed to be done about the babies on capital hill, I just wish this option was kept as a "nominee only" option

I didn't say that. But acting like the Republicans are innocent in this is complete bullshit.

The filibuster ISN'T in the Constitution.

The Republicans used the filibuster more times than any other Senate in US history.

The Republicans proposed the same rule changes back when the Dems were filibustering everything.

So, I tell you what, since you guys are against this so much, just win the majority and change the rules back. We know you'll do that, right?

And if it would have passed last time we'd be in the same place we are today.

Fact - this shit is all scripted.

There is no such thing as a vote that matters.

It's all about distracting people and ensuring that they pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

This is about appearances only.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - whatever is going to happen has already been decided and is going to happen.

Thanks.

Some things never change. :)

LOL, I personally believe our so-called democracy is a total and complete fabrication myself.

But let's say it's all legit.

If that's the case, the repubs have absolutely no chance in hell of ever going to get the majority again in this country.

Nope.

They can't hope to take it back over.

Demographics have changed.

They will never win a presidency again, that's for sure. Not if the vote is accurately tallied.

There are too many liberals, it just can't happen. They don't have the numbers.

And even if they did, their constant use of the filibuster rather than doing their jobs coupled with their current habit of choosing to bitch and moan rather than get things done isn't winning them any votes.

It's over for the GOP, and they know it. This is why they are working so hard with the gerrymandering and restrictive voter ID laws all across the country - changing district boundaries and hand-picking who can cast a ballot are their only hope at this point.

And now that they've lost the filibuster, I think they are going to go down flaming.

Yup, it means if you are not a democrat you have no voice in government and no longer have representation in Washington.

+1

it means the Republicans have to actually start doing their jobs, instead of reading "Green Eggs and Ham" (and collecting a paycheck to do that)

You moron

Showing a valid government issued id for voting is neither gerrymandering nor restrictive you asshat

Talk about voter fraud and projection

You assholes are full of both

I wonder if this little change will make it easier to give Barry an extension
To his term....like another 4 years to start and on and on?

If this is even a remote possibility then we are in bigger
Trouble than we all thought

Well guess what? Neither is the Executive Order.

Wouldn't doubt it...seems he can just change whatever he wants. Kinda like a "king" eh?

...


sorry - this was in response to AC 12453034 and the statement about filibuster not being in constitution.

You are way too obvious sugar tits

Do you even know what gerrymandering is?

Yes, they are drawing the district lines to benefit themselves (both sides do this).

That's why 80% of congressional incumbents are re-elected.

But if you want to talk about voter fraud, prove that it is a real problem that should warrant restructuring voter laws to discourage legal voters from voting.
