The filibuster remains

[Thank you for being a friend...]

The Senate should just be eliminated entirely.  It has produced absolutely nothing for this country in all its years its been in existence.  Its full of bloviating fools, nauseating hypocrites, and the worst politicians in America.  End it.

Manchin and Sinema are useless idiots.

Agreed - for their party, but they have served their Republican masters quite well - and neither will be rewarded.

That's what I meant.  "Useful idiot' is a reference to what the Soviet leaders thought of the American liberal appeasers.  I think 'useless idiot' is more appropriate because Manchin and Sinema aren't even well meaning.

I completely concur.  They have served nobody in doing this.  They have written their political obituaries.  Manchin was doomed to begin with, but Sinema completely destroyed her career.  She has no constituency anymore out there in AZ.

No, the HoR has way, way worse politicians. I don't know who the worst GOP senators are, but they're tons better than MTG, Boebart, Gosar and the like are; I don't know who the worst Democratic senators are, but they're tons better than the Squad and the like. 7/50 GOP senators voted for impeachment, 8/50 objected - and 10/211 GOP senators voted for impeachment while a whopping 139/211 objected. The House is much worse, less cordial, more extreme and more partisan. The only solid argument against the senate is that WY gets the same representation as CA despite having a sixtieth of our population.

You raise a good point, friend.  The House of Representatives has a lot more nutballs from all the angles.  There's more radicalism in the House - yes Senators can be lousy.  One thing I do think a lot of Senators do is loook in the mirror and see the next President of the United States, which makes them constantly and transparently aiming for the top job... Senators tend to get more media attention - although lately it seems a ticket to the House as a crazy gets you attention now too.

Maybe dumping the Senate wouldn't be better... i'll have to rethink this
