Cornyn's running ads saying she's "too liberal for Texas" and showing her riding a motorcycle and talking about how you shouldn't be aisle-reaching and just go hard on your policies, as though subservient women who are delicate and don't ride motorcycles and :decorum: are somehow cool.

Imagine running an ad on your opponent and showing them riding a hog and wearing a leather jacket n poo poo. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

The thing that bothers me is even if Biden wins and tries to work with them the Republicans will just jerk him and everything around as much as they can ala Obama's second term. Even then on things Biden should do like pack the courts he might not in that bid to work with rather than against and of course the Republicans will Republican.

The Democrats never go all in when they should.

Hopefully, the Democrats have learned their lesson and know they have to change the filibuster if anything is gonna get done. The republicans are simply not operating in good faith and will never come around to a compromise, they'll fight you over something for a year and then when the sides are reversed they'll shamelessly ignore their previous position.

If Biden wins, the dems take the senate and expand their house(which is a very likley outcome,) we could be headed into an era of progress and reform if the democratic senate finally destroys the roadblock that Mitch has decided to use on everything. If they don't, the republicans will be able to stop any and all government functions. The dems can't gently caress around anymore.

Isn't Mensa full of insufferable chuds? Who would bother to join such an organization anyway?

This is from a while back, but I will tell my long, boring arse MENSA story:

Many years ago, on the Australian version of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, one of the guys that got up to the final question was Molly Meldrum, a noted moron who famously forgot Prince Charles' name live on TV. It was revealed that he was a member of MENSA. I was outraged, and there was no way that I was going to let that dumbarse be quantitatively smarter than me. So I contacted them, and signed up, (also paid the $85) to do their IQ tests. It turns out I got in the 97th percentile in one of their tests and 99th in the other. This is proof enough of my cleverosity for me to become a member, and because I did their test, I get my first year fees waived. They also gave me a badly laminated membership card, that I used to pull out to jokingly claim I was better than everyone, and which always got me roundly and justifiably mocked. I wish I still had it, but it has been lost to the ages.

I only went to one MENSA meeting. It was a lunch in the CBD, and it was about 10 or so middle aged businessmen in suits whinging about problems their companies had with email servers or some such. Boring, bland and poo poo. I never went again, and didn't renew my membership.

So to answer the question of why people would ever consider joining MENSA: to prove they are at least as smart as an Australian former TV star.

Might poo poo actually happen on the filibuster?

The whole point of the Senate's archaic rules is that it's supposed to be a chummier body where senators from opposing sides socialize and hash things out. The Republicans have destroyed this, so why keep the rules that allowed Strom Thurmond to fight off Civil Rights legislation?

Of course, the other problem with the filibuster is that what we've had for as long as I can remember is a "friendly filibuster," where a senator, in most cases, need only threaten to filibuster, and it had the force of the filibuster. Force those fuckers to actually stand there with a piss bucket and filibuster! Let's get some C-Span footage of fuckheads like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul relieving themselves in a bucket. If the GOP senators want to drag it out for as many days as they have members, let them! Let's get 30 days straight of GOP'ers standing and talking for 24 hours at a time, pissing in buckets!

Trump would love it. :pisstape:

Where does this kind of delusion come from? It's a election of course they're saying this poo poo they want to win it, because when they win it the people they actually care about give them money. They're going to go right back to doing whatever the people that pay their bribes want as soon as they're in government. It's what's happened literally every single other time why would it be any different this time?
