Update: Sen Rounds said they won’t eliminate the filibuster. They want the Democrats to go back to negotiating. If they approved Chuck Schumer’s latest offer of opening government for funding Obamacare for a year, it would mean funding abortions. He didn’t say this, but it would continue to provide healthcare for people here illegally via hospitals and providers.
Transcript
Bob Brooks, Host: He laid out his plan. He wants to extend the Obamacare the subsidies for a year. Here, I want to play a sound bite of that. Let’s bring it up.
Schumer Clip: Democrats are ready to clear the way, to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes healthcare affordability. Leader, Thune, just needs to add a clean one year extension of the ACA tax credits to the CR so that we can immediately address rising health care costs.
Bob Brooks: Senator, that deadline would go right up until midterms. I can’t imagine Republicans are going to agree to that, but I don’t know. Maybe you will here. What do you say?
Sen. Rounds: No, we’re not. We’re not. In fact, the bottom line on it is, we’ve already told them it’s a non starter. They knew that to begin with. They want $35 billion to extend Obamacare credits, and they have no protection, a high protection, which is what protects the American taxpayer from spending their money on abortions, and we’ve told them that’s a non starter. We’re not going to do anything until we make sure that our tax dollars aren’t going to funding abortions. The other piece of this is with the with the changes that we’ve got to have within the health care products. We cannot allow Obamacare to go on without reforming that and actually making it affordable again, not just throwing taxpayer money at it, but actually reducing the cost. We can do that, but we can’t do it with Obamacare the way it is today.
Huh?
Won’t Democrats more likely negotiate and feel more pressure if they don’t have a filibuster? They will have no choice but to negotiate of lose!
Original Story
The Senate elected John Thune as Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell as chair of the Rules Committee and Susan Collins as chair of the Appropriations Committee. These people are Republicans in Name Only. It sent a negative message to conservatives.
McConnell Sends Another Lifeline to Democrats
Senator Mitch McConnell has said the Senate exists to require deliberation and cooperation, not to ratify the passions of the moment.
McConnell draws a line between nominations and legislation. “Legislation is very different,” he said in 2021.
He always resists pressure to scrap the nuclear option for legislation. The old codger says it’s out of principle, but is throwing Democrats a lifeline.
Susan Collins wants to get re-elected in a corrupted blue state. She will act like a Democrat on this issue. Murkowski votes as a Democrat and might as well be one.
Trump Warns It’s Time to End the Filibuster
“We have to get the country open. And the way we’re going to do it this afternoon is to terminate the filibuster,” Donald Trump told the senators this week. “It’s time.”
But more than enough Republicans will prevent such an action from taking place. They will not get rid of the filibuster, which requires agreement by 60 of the Senate’s 100 members to pass most legislation.
“I know where the math is on this issue in the Senate, and it’s not happening,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters.
Reality Escapes Them
Meanwhile, Democrats will definitely get rid of the filibuster when they have the power again. The two Democrat senators who resisted are gone. They are all far left now.
At the same time, Democrats will continue the shutdown until the economy collapses to destroy President Trump and the Republicans. Bernie Sanders interrupted a Schumer press conference to demand the shutdown continue. AOC has made the same demand.

The republicans are a bunch of incompetent people that loves losing to the democrats. I played sports in high school we never played expecting to lose, even when we knew we was overmatch..
“Sen Rounds said they won’t eliminate the filibuster. They want the Democrats to go back to negotiating.”
Republicans negotiating with Democrats mean Democrats completely get their way and Republicans cower in the corner with their collective tails between their legs. GROW A PAIR! Democrats have become full blown communists and are not your friend.
the reason we have a shutdown is Thune & Cotton won’t end Schumers filabuster. So it’s really a republican shut down
Leading from behind mcconnell you can smell his stench in the government shutdown. Republicans do not know how to legislate and get things done.They are an embarrassment.
RINOs despise Trump and conservatism. Mitch was badly disgraced by Trump, justifiably, and seeks any revenge he can get. And, Mitch now disgraces himself, being of unsound mind and body. Also, Mitch has a history of conceding to dem demands.
The economy is not collapsing. That kind of talk is what the corrupt establishment wants us to think.
