Lamest of the four?

[Bobstandard]

It’s pretty easy to get discouraged. Schumer won’t even require a talking filibuster to make it a tiny bit harder for Republicans to use the filibuster to thwart democratic lawmaking.

Now Nancy has identified four ways Congress might move forward to instigate the January insurrection. I have a pretty good guess which one it will be. The answer, when it comes, will say a lot

1. Schumer can not require anything other than what's in the rules

for the senate. In order to change it that has to be voted in with a simple majority but we have to get people like Manchin or Sinema to vote for it.

3. Show me where..,

They have ever said they wouldn’t support the talking filibuster. I’m open to education

5. Manchin won't weaken filibuster per WashPo

There is no circumstance in which I will vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster. The time has come to end these political games, and to usher a new era of bipartisanship where we find common ground on the major policy debates facing our nation.

He won’t vote for any change to the way it works now, which requires zero effort on the part of the senator who is filibustering.

4. I disagree.

6. I intend to pressure democrats.

I intend to pressure Senate Democrats.

You got a problem with that?

7. A hilarious slip-of-the-tongue by keyboard -- "instigate" instead of "investigate"

I think some of them did instigate.

8. Excellent catch! n/t
