OMG..... The Righteous Gemstones....

This show is beyond awesome!

I loved the first and (so far) only season and due to COVID there haven't been any new episodes until a couple of weeks ago. Season two is underway.

I DVR'd the first two episodes and just watched them. Danny McBride is a genius!

To anyone who has HBO, I highly recommend this show...

Does someone have a list of Senate Republicans

who are retiring or not running in 2022?

I want to see if there's anyone who may be open to voting with the Dems. on voting rights.

I apologize if this has already been posted and discussed ad nauseam. I've been back at work teaching. During the week it's hard for me to keep up with current events so I normally catch up on the weekends.

Thanks for any feedback (if there's already a lot of discussions I'd be grateful if you post some threads)....

Can someone here on DU please explain the current Filibuster

rules?

I know I could google it but I'd value DU'er's posts and insights regarding this incredibly important issue.

I think I heard (but I may have misheard) that there needs to be at least 41 Senators on the floor while it's going on. Also, I think they have to speak for at least a certain amount of time.

If our Senators (with Schumer leading) aren't doing EVERYTHING they can do (including rewriting rules that aren't laws - like what McConnell did) why aren't they?

Thanks for your feedback......

About Upthevibe

I've been a member of DU since the very beginning....after that horrible fiasco - the sElection of 2000. My first user name was Lindsey, then I changed it to Nirvana555, and now it's Upthevibe. I had devices crash and I ended up having to change my user name. I've never been one to make a whole lot of original posts, but I consider myself a very active member in that I come to DU almost every day and read the wonderfully informative threads. I can't imagine what life would have been like over the past two decades without DU!
