Are the Ds forcing an R filibuster that prevents an investigation into the insurrection and death of an officer as a way to gain support for removing the filibuster? Is this actual multi-dimensional chess?

It could be, but only because they don’t have another choice. It’s be a lot more powerful, too, if republicans actually had to get up there and speak for days to prevent the investigation rather than simply sending an email saying “I fillibuster.”

I think the R position is that this investigation is just political theater with the main goal of keeping Jan 6 in the lime light as much as possible? I’m an R and actually want a bi-partisan commission but I’m also not mad if Rs oppose another political theater move by the Ds like the second impeachment. I haven’t been following this so much so could be wrong.

I think most of what is done in Congress is for political points - on both sides. But I don’t know, I’m sure some of them were so disgusted with Trump, which is a reasonable feeling, that they were happy to interpret things he said the same way Ds did regardless of party. Some of those are also in pretty purple districts I think? That I’m sure played a role as well.

Nope. Manchin and Sinema wouldn’t play ball with that.

I am recently received an invite for a meeting with a partner and a HR person which means I am either going to be laidoff or put on a reduced schedule (60% time for 60% pay). I would rather being laidoff since I don’t want to still work 100% with 60% pay. How would I frame it if they put me on the reduced schedule? I don’t want to say “you have to fire me” since it might be counted as resignation and I won’t receive the severance package.

Trump is on 🔥 today. Clearly, he feel's cornered and needs to make up lost ground, inb4 MAGA is terrified

The actions he's taking are such a breathe of fresh air. If he keeps this up, he'll see a big swing in #s. I bet big on him in 2016, but sat sidelines this year because I felt biased and doubted myself. If this vigorous attitude sustains for a week, I'm gonna place a bet while the odds are good.
