From the sound of things, McConnell backed down because Manchin and Sinema privately indicated that they wouldn't end the filibuster. However, Schumer wasn't forced to sign away the Dems rights to invoke the filibuster in the future, assuming those two change their tune. Bernie gets to play architect for reconciliation bills at least.

Joe Biden has been President for five days, calm the gently caress down.

2022 is a ways away, and who knows what is in store for the world in 2021. Never would have guessed that we'd have an insurrection attempt on January 6th, and now there are worse strains of COVID popping up all around the world. We have no clue what is in store tomorrow. There's no reason to stop pushing our politicians to aspire to do better, but doomposting isn't gonna accomplish anything other than give you the CSPAM sadbrains.

I think it depends what your expectations are. If your expectations are full communism now, you're going to be disappointed. If your expectations are Obama 2.0, there's a decent chance you're going to be reasonably happy.

But yeah, who knows what the future will bring.

Have you ever seen one of those old outdoor grills built out of rocks and concrete decades ago that nobody has used for years and it's crumbly and falling apart and there's moss growing on it and it's filling up with dirt? That's what Mitch McConnell wants for America.

Also I want the Trump Presidential Library to just be a really lovely unsatisfying brightly painted roller coaster that shakes all the change out of people's pockets into a large hopper and gives everybody whiplash. And the ride photos all have MAGA hats crudely photoshopped on people's heads and they all come fake signed by Trump.

My only expectation is for the majority senate to actually function. Republicans will filibuster every stupid thing. Happy pants day? Filibustered. The reconciliation is a way to get some good poo poo done for covid and some budgetary items, but that's it.

Yeah. My greatest hope is that the Biden Administration can use the pandemic to show that the federal government CAN and SHOULD help, and that relying on private enterprise for necessities like healthcare is foolhardy. If they can convince a majority of the voting public that Reagan was full of poo poo, then that is a huge win because it will help reverse the ridiculous swing toward the Right that the USA underwent thanks to that turdbrain. It'd also be nice if they aggressively pursue and prosecute the loving white supremacist groups that have been allowed to fester.

But he never actually said the magic word "concede", he just admitted that the other guy won. It's just like how the way he never said the words "quid pro quo" on that phone call means there was no exchange of one thing for another.

Could you imagine having a drink with Trump? Seriously, you would have to get drunk to listen to him whinge and rage and brag as he sips his diet coke, (that he made you buy because he "forgot" his wallet), and then after he loses at pool/gets caught cheating, he picks a fight with the big tattooed bikie and runs away, leaving you half cut, tired and exhausted to clean up his poo poo as they beat you up.
