I dunno, between the abuse of reconciliation and removing the filibuster on SCOTUS nominees, I think it's effectively dead anyway.

We'll see if Schumer pulls the trigger on killing the legislative filibuster when the Democrats have a second bill they want to pass. No reason to do it if they don't take the Senate, keep the house, or win the presidency.

He won't have that choice to make if we don't take the senate, you need a majority vote to enact that change.

That should have been read as a single OR statement. If (lose Senate OR lose house OR lose presidency) THEN keep the filibuster.

Edit: or, you know, get a second bill together. ACA took up a lot of time.

The next time Dems have unified government I don't believe they will be able to withstand the pressure to blow up the legislative filibuster after the Trump era.

It should be pointed out that there are people who are former white supremacists/Nazis who turned their life around, renounced their former beliefs, and actively work towards dismantling those ideologies and bringing people out of them. I think they are in unique positions to turn other people around as well as redeem themselves, because it's a huge gently caress-up to make. These kids should absolutely face consequences, and there should be no benefit of the doubt when dealing with them, but if they do come around they should be given a chance to do something good with themselves (that is unless it's a hollow apology/"I'll keep my Nazi views to myself").

They should be treated as Nazis. They didn’t have to do it, they chose to enthusiastically participate. gently caress ‘em.

This but unironically.

As a Christian I strongly support forgiveness, and as a dick I strongly support face-punching as a means of encouraging sincere repentance.

I'm pretty sure that a Junior High photo and honestly kid do really loving dumb things. Its why we don't treat them like adults because they're not adults.

The correct thing is actually engage them and maybe be able to reach out to them so that they gain some sort of better understanding on the wrongness of their actions and hopefully not repeat it.

But please, by all means, continue making a fool of yourself by going to bat for an entire graduating class of white men -1 being overt Nazis, encouraged and abetted by adults in their lives, in a nation where a Nazi murdered 11 Jewish people less than a month ago.

There seems to be a misconception that I do not support face punching Nazis. That is very very false. I just do not support going out of your way to ruin lives of teenagers who give a nazi symbol. Shame them, tease them, but jesus gently caress its creepy when ya'll talk like this.

They are juniors in high school, not middle schoolers. A nice public shaming will do more than whatever the gently caress you are suggesting.

Yes but she rejects the label and tries not to talk about it. She was raised Mormon, attended BYU, and married a classmate from there, but I guess rejected it all, got divorced, and is now a bisexual atheist.

But before you get your hopes too high she's also a Blue Dog.

To be fair, cops aren't huge fans of anyone but them having guns.

It makes it harder to murder people without consequences.
