Crazy me, thinking this filibuster less bill could get filibustered....so silly of me.

Maybe it would have already been rewritten if Schumer and the other turds didn't let the temporary budget pass and forced a shutdown.

IT IS ALL BULLSHIT THEATER

The filibuster literally can't be used on a reconciliation bill. It's just not a thing. Democrats used other Senate rules to effectively filibuster the bill by forcing a full reading on the Senate floor. It's not as effective as a filibuster, but it served the same purpose.

I'm sorry, but I just can't take your demands of Democrats seriously when you can't bother to even RTFA to understand what you're demanding. And this is from someone who lothes the neoliberal establishment and especially Schumer. I'm entirely in your corner on the temporary budget, but that was not part of your previous comment or my response.
