If the Republicans join with the Marxist then the midterms or at least some of the races might be in jeopardy for the Republicans. But if they side with the Marxist they deserve to lose.
Pass what ever law you want. I will not obey!1
The problem is in the Senate, where none of the GOPe RINOs like Cornyn are on the ballot this year. They just flat don’t care. :mad:
This is why we need to repeal the 17th(?) and go back to Senators chosen by State Legislatures and serving at the pleasure thereof. Frankly, while I get the importance of “continuity,” I’d like to see every Senator have to face a performance-review every two years with an automatic “confidence/no-confidence” vote.
That is another good step toward limiting the tyranny of the majority. Combine this with property owners with a stake in the game voting and some of the problems will start to be resolved. But even then, it will take a long time and take a lot of balls to fix everything that is now broken.
Here’s what I’d do… everybody gets one vote on a yellow ballot. Active or honorably-discharged mil, you get another vote on a blue ballot. Landowner, you get another vote on a green ballot. Lie about any extra-ballot qual and you lose voting rights for life.
Why separate ballots instead of just more weight on one? That way, if you’re torn between two candidates you have the option between putting your full voting weight behind one or splitting it between the two, and that also allows for distinct ballot-pools. Though there is a potential Unintended Consequence scenario where if mil and landowners are known to be heavily R in a D county that marks them as targets for shenanigans… and we know that D’s don’t stop cheatin’ even when they stop breathin’.
I like it. Weighted voting based on the amount of skin you have in the game. Would fit perfectly with what the founders intended and saw as flaws needing checks and balances. As a hedge, I can buy stock in yellow paper futures.
Damn, I was just saying that in another thread somewhere…
And you lost me…… 
Actually, how about a vote per dollar paid in taxes….
F Dat bruh. LeBron would get more votes than my whole county. Bout the only thing like these ideas I could agree with is that if you are drawing government money from some program to live on (excluding SS retirement benefits) you don’t get to vote. My reasoning being: A) It’s a conflict of interest. B) Your ability to make important life decisions is suspect.
That said, if it passes I ain’t gonna be the one to tell them single moms at the trailer park up the road. Some of them gals is scary. Uh, uh. Dats on you.
It won’t get past the Senate. Even the RINOs won’t an AWB. Even if some of them did, they wouldn’t get enough on board to go over 60.
Shitt Romney, Susan Collins and Rob Portman have entered the chat
I think it’s a 50/50 chance of passing. We all thought no gun control would pass but we’ve already had the first gun control in 30 years become law.
Guarantee mittens will vote for it. I hate he represents Utah, the only way he got elected is because he’s Mormon. F*cking traitorous rino…
We say this every single time, and yet they haven’t passed a ban since 1994. The only reason the last bill passed was because they took bans off the table. I don’t like the RINOs, but I highly, highly doubt they will get enough of them to break 60 votes. Also, Collins, as much of RINO as she is, is not super anti-gun and has voted against most gun ban bills.
Also, Manchin won’t vote for a ban.
At any rate, I’m not worried. Even if something did get passed, it wouldn’t last long before it got struck down.
Manchin depends on if they finally make whatever Golden Parachute offer he’s been holding out for.
He’s been pretty reliable though.
Don’t forget the bitch from Alaska.
Technically not true, in 2004 a renewal of the Clinton ban was successfully amended to the final version of a Larry Craig industry protection bill. It was ready to be sent to Bush’s desk, but Craig killed his own bill.
Thank God Larry did that before he was caught foot-tapping in airport restrooms! LOL
I think the Establishment broke that story in retaliation for him pulling the rug out from under them. They were SO CLOSE to ridding the country of “those icky evil proleguns,” and then he had to go and ruin everything just when victory seemed assured… just like that disgusting Trump.
And while he should have known better (I mean what kind of Senator can’t have hook ups managed by a staffer), it’s pretty low on my list of faults by US Senators. Being gay he should have also known he was a potential target for any kind of “big story.”
I do think she is a conniving bitch, but I would think that an AWB wouldn’t play that well in Alaska? Cheap, good guns.
