Comments by "" (@DavidJ222) on "Faith leader: Democrats show up to fight 'with a butter knife'" video.

Back in December of 2012, Senate negotiations took a strange turn when Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was forced to filibuster a vote that HE had called for himself. It started when McConnell demanded an up or down vote on a measure that would allow the president to have more authority in raising the debt ceiling. McConnell was betting that some Democrats would vote against the move, "which would have allowed McConnell to portray President Obama's desire for such authority as something even Democrats opposed. He also hoped it would show disunity among Democrats. But Dems soon realized a way to turn the tables and decided to call McConnell's bluff. Harry Reid objected at first, but told McConnell he thought it might be a good idea. After Senate staff reviewed the proposal, Reid came back to the floor and proposed a straight up-or-down vote on the idea, which is what McConnell had demanded. McConnell was forced to say no.🤣 McConnell was forced to turn around and say "I object," filibustering his own suggestion. True story. "I don't know how the Republicans can say they're not abusing the filibuster after what we saw on the floor today," Sen Durbin told the Huffington Post at the time. "It's somewhat comic, but sad as well, that we've reached the point where Sen. McConnell will not even accept a majority vote on his own measure." McConnell introduced the bill to show that President Obama didn't have the votes for such a measure even in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Well on that day Majority Leader Harry Reid called his bluff, and McConnell folded. Well, that's a first, said Tommy Christopher at Mediaite. "The Obama-era Republican Senate minority has made unprecedented filibuster abuse their calling card, but this may be the first instance of filibuster self-abuse." Seriously, McConnell just made the best case yet for filibuster reform, says Martin Longman at Booman Tribune. Remember, Reid is from Nevada, and "they know a little something there about calling people's bluffs and making them show their cards. He just ate McConnell's lunch and drank his milkshake." Republicans are the reason why we need to get rid of the filibuster. Republicans are too corrupt, too unethical, and they never play by the rules. They basically ruin everything.

I just love the fact that neither Trump or his supporters can prove that the election was stolen. 🤣🤣😆😅😁 And there's a reason why they can't prove it. 🤣 Trump's former lawyer has already admitted in court that Trump's claims of voter fraud and the election being stolen from him was all a big lie. SidneyPowell's weekslong campaign to invalidate the results of the 2020 election was not based in fact, her lawyers said in federal court back in March. Powell asked a federal judge to dismiss the $1.3 billion defamation suit filed by DominionVoting Systems in January. In court, lawyers for Powell told the judge that "no reasonable person" would believe that her false claims and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election were "truly statements of fact." The filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia claims Powell's statements were so absurd they couldn’t be taken seriously.🤣 “Plaintiffs themselves characterize the statements at issue as 'wild accusations' and 'outlandish claims,'" her lawyers wrote. "They are repeatedly labeled 'inherently improbable' and even 'impossible.' Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support defendant’s position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact." And there you have it folks. The big lie, laid bare and exposed for the world to see.

@bellanoir9479 A GOP precinct chair in Utah wrote on Facebook this week that he thinks giving voting rights to women was a “grave mistake.” “The more I study history, the more I think giving voting rights to others not head of household has been a grave mistake,” Casey Fisher, a Davis County precinct chair who oversees Republican caucuses in his district, wrote on Sunday. Fisher deleted both the post and his Facebook account when he began receiving angry messages,(too late!🤣) according to Davis County GOP chairwoman Teena Horlacher, who defended Fisher in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune. And there it is folks. Vote 💙 like your very right to vote, and our democratic republic depends on it. Because it literally does.

@bellanoir9479 Here are some examples of Trump's so called conservative Christian "values." In September 1994, a little less than a year after Tiffany was born to Trump and his second wife, Marla, the couple appeared on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. “Donald, what does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla’s?” asked host Robin Leach. “She’s a very beautiful baby,” Trump replied. “She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not”—he put his hands to his chest to indicate her bra size—”she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.” While Trump was on The View in March 2006, he was asked what he would do if Ivanka was on the cover of P-boy magazine, Trump said it depended on what was inside the magazine and added, “Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.” In a February 2013 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, during a question and answer game, Williams asked Trump and Ivanka, "What's the favorite thing you have in common with your father?" Ivanka answered, "Either real estate or golf" while Trump added, "Well, I was going to say 5ex." Defend that!!🤣

@arceusthomas2447 Republicans have taken a page right out the communist Chinese playbook. Because if a government can prevent you from having an abortion, it can also force you to have one. That's what happens when the choice has been taken away from you. Controlling the reproductive rights of women is and old communist tradition. In fact, it's as old as communism itself. Many people are ignorant of the late communist Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. He outlawed all access to AbortionAndContraception, which resulted in orphanages filled with unwanted, neglected children. Many womenDied of unsafe procedures.

@notme8705 According to Trump, the proof is out in the open. If that's true, can you please point to it. Because he can't even point to it. 🤣😆

@notme8705 So still no proof then? 😅🤣

@notme8705 Trump claims over and over that the election was stolen. So he must have proof that it was stolen, because otherwise why would he make accusation like that if he had no proof? So it seems to me, that it can only be one of two things. Either Trump is lying, and there is no proof, OR, he has the proof, but just refuses to release it. So which is it MAGAS? 😅🤣

@B Brakre So still no proof then? 🤣😅

@B Brakre Sooooo still no proof then? 😅🤣

@arceusthomas2447 Not when Republicans use it as a weapon instead of the tool it was meant to be.

@arceusthomas2447 McConnell demanded an up or down vote, and when Dems agreed to it, he turned around and said no. What kind of BS is that?!?! These are the types of Shenanigans that Republicans play. If Republicans didn’t do things like this, we wouldn't be talking about getting rid of the filibuster.

@arceusthomas2447 It's called elections. Republicans can't win the popular vote because the majority of Americans reject their policies. Who's fault is that?
2
@arceusthomas2447 Yes!.Republicans have raised the debt ceiling too.

@bellanoir9479 Trump bragged about 5exuallly assaulting women. 😅🤣 Defend that!!

@arceusthomas2447 So they aren't leaving women alone. Thanks for acknowledging that.

@BidenIs NotMyPresident Trump and Republicans tried to cheat.

@arceusthomas2447 Thanks for acknowledging that Republicans aren't living women alone. The Right to choose is in the constitutional. Do you have a problem with the Constitution?

@arceusthomas2447 Most Americans agree on most issues, even the hot button ones likeAbortion. A Gallup poll from June examining the issue ofAbortion concluded that only 32% of Americans wanted the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision overturned, while 58% of Americans opposed overturning it.
