    Democrats don’t have the votes, lmfao.

    Filibuster is getting gutted, it only needs simple majority to remove.

    Also, the VP as President of the Senate can just ignore the parliamentarian, so they wont even need a vote to abolish the filibuster.

      But by framing it as attacking trans health care they will gain the support of the R masses. Gotta say I’m getting bored of watching leopards eating faces.

        They don’t even need to label it as trans healthcare…just “illegals are taking your healthcare, so we’re going to stop them”

    There are no votes. There’s a trifecta.

    It means birth control, ACA, social security, Medicare, HIPAA, overtime, no fault divorce, federal labor laws, the department of education (and it’s mandates regarding special needs kids, safety checks on Wall Street, and lots of other things could be gone by next Christmas.

    Wow. Embrace reality. It’s a weird headline that doesn’t track with reality. Like Roe as soon as the document was made public, it’s already gone it’s just not official yet.

        What’s surreal is watching Korea defeat their dipshit dictators martial law and knowing none of that will happen here.

        No, I just realized I couldn’t type everything. There’s a lot of things listed out in project 2025.

        As is, I expect where President Musk and the Heritage Foundation meet most is in forceful increase of fertility rates. So that will likely be where they start. As a non breeder odds are you’ll be overlooked for a short while. But only a short while.

      I’m actually more annoyed with them for pretending like “the parliamentarian” was a real obstacle to change as opposed to a convenient excuse for inaction.

          Maybe if Democrats wanted people to vote for them they should have actually tried to deliver on their promises rather than making up BS excuses for 4 years.

              People will look at republicans do evil shit and block every progress change with their skewed Senate Seats, then call Dems anti-working class because of it.

                Seriously. The entire Republican game plan since the moment Obama was elected has been “block everything”. They even stated it as the party goal.

                Yet somehow after all these years of them doing exactly that, people are still confused.

                  This is why I can’t support a guy like Bernie Sanders. The fact he said Kamala Harris lost this election because the Dems abandoned the working class is complete bullshit. The guy, LITERALLY, 10 days before the election released a youtube video urging people to vote for Kamala and how Joe Biden was the most labor friendly president of our generation.

                  Now he’s done a 180 when it’s convenient for him.

    Yes, they will happily let trans healthcare be gutted as they “learn” from this election and continue their inexorable move to the right.

    Liberals and appeasement go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

    Solidarity is all that keeps reactionaries from taking over.

    Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care?

    Yes.

    The real question is, will the public? Unless there is at least anger in the streets, also yes.
