Erin Schaff/The New York Times via AP The left has been losing their minds at Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) for standing in the way of their power grab and not wanting to blow up the Senate by doing away with the filibuster. Manchin has repeatedly said he will not be coerced into destroying the Senate in that way.
But yesterday, the left went completely over the slide when it appeared that they also might have trouble with another senator: Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). Feinstein said she didn’t see them abolishing it. Asked Feinstein if a 1/6 filibuster would motivate her to abolish the rule: “I don’t see us abolishing the 60-vote threshold. I don’t.” Would she vote to nix? “This is the first time I’ve heard it. No one has proposed it. No one has talked to me about it. So it’s a non-issue.” — Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) May 27, 2021 “I don’t see us abolishing the 60-vote threshold. I don’t.” Asked if she would vote to do away with it, she said, “This is the first time I’ve heard it. No one has proposed it. No one has talked to me about it. So it’s a non-issue.”
The Democratic anger in response to that was glorious to behold.
The left, including some of the same people that completely turn a blind eye to Joe Biden’s babbling incompetence and pretend that old Grandpa Disaster is just fine, went after Feinstein with the hook, basically calling her senile. Feinstein is either a straight-up liar or has memory impairment that disqualifies her for her position. The filibuster is one of the most debated topics in the Senate and its abolishment was proposed repeatedly. https://t.co/uH9r4yzfL6 — Sarah Kendzior (@sarahkendzior) May 27, 2021 Feinstein saying that this is the “first time” she’s heard about eliminating the filibster and that “no one has proposed it” is a 5-alarm fire that she needs to retire. Just beyond comprehension. https://t.co/78NycBPbL3 — Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) May 27, 2021 god she has become such a joke https://t.co/1MnDY6Cb6J — Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) May 28, 2021 So […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
