Also if you remember what happened under the last republican controlled congress, they basically took the filibuster power away from the dems by threatening what they termed "the nuclear option".
Meaning if the dems decided to filibuster any republican bills then the repubs would band together and eliminate the filibuster entirely by a simple majority vote of 51, which they had more than enough to do.


Again, that has no bearing on my point.
I just don't like seeing such a false talking point continuing to be spread, promoting the repubs whole "do nothing congress" ploy without it being debunked by the facts.
No you are completely wrong about everything. I could, unlike you have done so far, provide supporting materials.. but I don't really care that much. Besides changing your mind would cause a rip in the time space continuum resulting in a total protonic reversal.
