Removing the filibuster will be tragic when the government flips back to the Demonrats. Also worth pointing out that Trump is getting the Republicans accepting of troops being sent into our cities for law enforcement purposes. The federal government has already been co-opting our local law enforcement with military gear, money and program requirements. So be careful what you cheer, and how it can be turned on you later. Of course, Trump is a troll, so this might just be to get the Demonrats to capitulate. However, this lawless Demonrat movement is a coordinated effort to federalize local police and sheriffs just like they did with airport security becoming federal agents. Remember, you can go to prison for giving a false statement to a federal agent, and will a jury believe you or them, especially if written in their report? And most conservatives do not trust the FBI these days, nor would we speak to them without an attorney. And federal agents have pursued political cases, used criminal informants to create conspiracies they could utilize in the press for budgetary considerations, gone after whistleblowers using federal law protecting megacorps…
President Trump once again told Republicans to kill the filibuster in order to end the government shutdown, and warned them that they’d rue the day if they don’t.
Here’s what Trump wrote:
Remember, Republicans, regardless of the Schumer Shutdown, the Democrats will terminate the Filibuster the first chance they get. They will Pack the Supreme Court, pick up two States, and add at least 8 Electoral Votes. Their two objectors are gone!!! Don’t be WEAK AND STUPID. FIGHT,FIGHT, FIGHT! WIN, WIN, WIN! We will immediately END the Extortionist Shutdown, get ALL of our agenda passed, and make life so good for Americans that these DERANGED DEMOCRAT politicians will never again have the chance to DESTROY AMERICA! Republicans, you will rue the day that you didn’t TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!! BE TOUGH, BE SMART, AND WIN!!! This is much bigger than the Shutdown, this is the survival of our Country!
I just don’t see Leader Thune moving to get rid of the filibuster, especially when Democrats may be preparing to open the government up this week.
