In remarks to Politico, the House Majority Whip said he wants Biden to authorize a “carve-out” to the filibuster that would allow Democrats to basically do anything they want. They want to get their legislation through, claiming this is essential to the Constitution.
Clyburn said he is afraid Dems will lose if they don’t rig the system.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) told Politico Biden “should endorse” the idea of creating a carveout to the legislative filibuster in the Senate for legislation that applies to the Constitution.
They will pass one extremist bill after another if this happens.
Biden could “pick up the phone and tell [Sen.] Joe Manchin, ‘Hey, we should do a carve-out.’” Clyburn said, referring to the centrist West Virginia Democrat who has resisted filibuster reform. “I don’t care whether he does it in a microphone or on the telephone — just do it.”
THEY DON’T WANT IT FOR THE CONSTITUTION, THEY WANT TO REMAIN IN POWER
If the two voting rights bills before Congress don’t reach Biden’s desk soon, Clyburn said, “Democrats can kiss the majority goodbye.”
“I can see in a state like Georgia — where people stepped up in January in a way nobody thought they ever would — I can see the disappointment in the voters to the extent that [Sen. Rafael] Warnock would not be back,” he added.
ALERT
Senator Joe Manchin is eager to meet with the cut and run Texas Democrats about a carve-out for the filibuster. Joe cannot be trusted to stick with anything that isn’t far-left.
Sen. Joe Manchin says he will meet with the Texas Democrats.
Asked if he would support a carve-out in the filibuster just for voting rights legislation, Manchin wouldn’t answer, saying only that he’s “anxious to meet with” the legislators. – via NBC’s Hill team

BLM and Antifa are very quiet lately.
That is a nice city that you have there, it would be a shame if anything happened to it.
Vote properly, comrade, vote CPUSA.
Clyburn says they “won” last year, so why change any laws?
Clyburn is a racist, and a big fan of racist, communist Cuba.
There is nothing that Democrats can do to win in 2022 short of stealing another election. At this point Democrats can’t even buy voters. Voters have already figured out that Democrats can’t print money forever without destroying the dollar so they are seeing their retirement savings slowly becoming worthless through inflation. The hardest hit are little old ladies on fixed incomes. When November 2022 rolls around the economies in Blue Cities and States will be in shambles and Red States will growing at record rates. The Democrats will be slaughtered by a class warfare economic vote against the Democrats who are making people in Blue States poor. Democrats want to believe that their symbol is a donkey, but the Democrat Party was founded by Andrew Jackson. In 1828, Andrew Jackson was a well known Jack Ass, but at leas Jackson wasn’t a Traitor!

Manchin is the epitome of the milking system. He’s in a position to “ask and you shall receive”. He may be a Man-chin, but doesn’t have the spine necessary to prevent what may be coming.
