The Law of Fives

The Law of Fives is one of the oldest Erisian Mysterees. It was first revealed to Good Lord Omar and is one of the great contributions to come from The Hidden Temple of The Happy Jesus.
POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar's sect. And POEE also recognizes the holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr. Mordecai Malignatus, KNS, into his Discordian sect, The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.

The Law of Fives states simply that: ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.

The Law of Fives is never wrong.

In the Erisian Archives is an old memo from Omar to Mal-2: "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."

I really don't have a good read on its chances in the Senate. I'd say about a 75% chance that it just dies because Republicans won't give it 60 ($450B price tag apparently). Could very well be wrong.

If anything I’d say the Georgia senate race changes the calculus, I’m not sure Mitch blocking it to avoid a vote will work like that way he handled the HEROES bill. That sends the message that hey if not for Mitch it would get a vote.

Now I could see it need the 60 to pass and then just letting some monumental douchbag like Rand Paul filibuster it and take the blame. The only problem is just how many R’s do you actually need? It doesn’t seem like it would be more then 10-12 currently right?

Also this is so goddamn weird.

Trump never had a legislative hold on the GOP. It took him a year to pass tax cuts and he never got Obamacare repealed when he had both houses of Congress. A year for Republicans to pass tax cuts. That's how abysmal his leadership is.
