    Unfortunately you are right. trump selected Steven Miller for Chief of Staff, Republicans choose Gym Jordan for minority leader.

    Those are clear signs they don’t look for compromises.

    Side note, one has to wonder… People are overwhelmingly are dissatisfied, and they still hang to the senile 80 year man, who isn’t even hiding that he is destroying America and creating a room to our enemies to get stronger.

    What is it that they willing to stick with him even with clear pedophilia connections? Bribes, blackmail? I’m very interested what is in the other 3 millions Epstein documents. I’m starting to think many prominent congresspeople are there as well.

      I expect they’ll pull from Mitch’s playbook at the minimum, so shutting down the filibuster option has to be one of the first focus points. Once the Senate rules are in place we can’t retroactively get rid of the filibuster, and they stay in place for two years.

      At this point, surely many of them must have something on each other. I think you’re onto something with many congresspeople being implicated to some degree or another.
