I think circumventing the 60 vote threshold on the filibuster would do a lot of the good that filibuster removal itself would do, but I also think it likely that this is pre-fight posturing.

Democrats are targeting voting rights next, and (unlike the stimulus) it’s legislation that Republicans desperately want to prevent. Democrats can talk about removing the filibuster all they want; Republicans know they won’t do it. But Joe Manchin going on TV and saying he’s open to reforming it? That looks a lot more like some thing that could be followed through on.

They’re trying to scare Republicans away from filibustering a potential voting rights bill by showing them how they’d respond to that. If Rs don’t threaten or attempt to filibuster the voting rights bill, I suspect all this talk will go away.

That sure seems like the middle of the road approach we've come to accept from the senate. Yay, bipartisan compromise!

Keeps the filibuster, but reduces its power (once you are unable to physically hold the floor, an up-or-down vote occurs) and makes using it hard work. I didn’t have “Joe Manchin supports filibuster reform” on my bingo card, either.

Pat Robertson opened The 700 Club by saying that Biden has dementia and it’s a matter of time before the 25th amendment is invoked. While not new I expect to hear more of these rumors and speculation from the right.

Except I can't imagine they are in a hurry to have President Harris in office.

Biden is the best the GOP could hope for in office right now, no way they risk the proggles taking over.

This is great.

Can I fast forward to Biden's alcoholic Dr. saying he's got Adonis DNA and then the surprise multi-night episode where Biden rides to Walter Reed?

Yeah but I don't think it's about preferring one person in power over the other. It's about being able to say "Look, you can't trust the Dems because they nominated and elected a guy that was clearly unfit to serve."

That's right. I mean just talking about it for 4 years and not actually doing it worked once.

The next major bill will demonstrate whether this came down to disjointed Republican response....or if Joe Biden is just awash in assumed good will because he isn’t Donald Trump and people like a president who is barely visible.

I guess people could also just reallllllly like the bill, but I’m not sure that’s better for Republicans than if Joe Biden is teflon.
