Why are the Democrats asking the christofascists for hearings.... Thomas Hurt Feb 2021 #1

Nope- the organizing resolution still hasn't been passed. Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 2021 #5

Thank you ... Here's the full text of Durbin's letter. lapucelle Feb 2021 #24

I'm sure that was unintentional StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #25

The full text of the letter can be accessed through a link at the bottom of this article. lapucelle Feb 2021 #28

Yeah. But showing the letter would have screwed up the "Democrats are weak" argument StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #32

My guess is McConnell is stalling The Wizard Feb 2021 #8

That is a huge danger, BUT I do not think Manchin is quite there yet. IF the Rethugs take back the Celerity Feb 2021 #17

Manchin would be really stupid to be dooming himself by aligning himself w the party of Sedition & onetexan Feb 2021 #33

He is a calculating politician. He will do what he thinks is best for his future. I think primarying Celerity Feb 2021 #35

Schumer needs to put an end to this nonsense, right fucking now. Fiendish Thingy Feb 2021 #7

Where does this say that Durbin is "asking" Graham to do anything? StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #12

Durbin is threatening to take other action if Graham won't call a hearing servermsh Feb 2021 #20

I recall Schumer announcing last week that progress had been made Kaleva Feb 2021 #27

LOL. He didn't say "It's going to be at least another week before we take over" servermsh Feb 2021 #29

No link to back up your earlier statement? Kaleva Feb 2021 #37

Headline servermsh Feb 2021 #38

NYT & Schumer's spokesperson were talking specifically about the filibuster Kaleva Feb 2021 #40

LOL. Yes the language about the filibuster in the organizing resolution! n/t servermsh Feb 2021 #43

You are talking about the organizing resolution but your links talk about the filibuster Kaleva Feb 2021 #46

Your facts are getting in the way of the "Dems ain't shish" attacks StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #34

I applaud your efforts to interject well grounded facts into these threads! Kaleva Feb 2021 #44

Schumer never claimed "the impasse was over." He announced that McConnell had dropped StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #31
