Joe Biden supports a talking filibuster.

The official memo must have been spread through the Uniparty ranks and it looks like Manchin will tow the party line. I noticed the Senate minority turtle puffed up and made a bunch of empty threats today. I'm disappointed most with the Neocons, all of those "rEaL rEpUblicoNS" had plenty of time to nip this crap in the bud but couldn't pass up the opportunity to fundraise as a minority party(the eGOP's favorite position) and reciprocate their foreign kickback schemes. 

...but hey they're well spoken when they are bullish!tting us and don't tweet mean things so I guess we're better off.

*edit
Just wanted to be clear before I get schooled by a political scholar, I actually somewhat agree with reverting to a talking filibuster. I always thought the filibuster was kind of a lame way to stall legislation. If I had confidence in our elections I could see this as being a good thing, and if I was naive enough to trust the eGOP to do what they say they would do, I could imagine this would ultimately end up biting the Dems in the ass.

As long as the democrats don't go full stupid and do the nuclear option.  I also agree that there should be some level of effort to filibuster.

I'd direct your attention to not one, but two completely bogus impeachment trials.  No crimes committed -- no crimes even charged in the first trial.

Yeah.  Dems aren't going "full stupid".   :crazy:
