Fixing it would require getting rid of the filibuster, which is something the Democrats should definitely do.
Nope. It could be done via budget reconciliation.
Also, if you weren't in favor of abolishing the filibuster in 2017 (I wasn't) then just stop with that nonsense.
I stand corrected. The tax part could be done with reconciliation. And the Democrats should definitely do it.
I don't remember having a strong opinion on the filibuster in 2017. Historically, I've seen both sides of the issue.
My opinion on it now is tied to my belief that the climate crisis is the most important issue mankind faces. It completely overshadows everything else. Without breaking the filibuster, we can't do what really needs to be done. Of course, in addition to killing the filibuster, we would also need to add one more Democrat to cancel out Joe Manchin. So there's not really much hope anyway.
Also, if you weren't in favor of abolishing the filibuster in 2017 (I wasn't) then just stop with that nonsense.
The Democrats used the filibuster like 328 times in 2020. That is the all time record. They stopped ligislation 328 times. And now they want to stop the filibuster use? LOL>
BTW, I already debunked your claim about the filibuster. The Republicans are on pace to far surpass your filibuster number of the Democrats from the last congress.
The filibuster has gotten out of hand no matter who is in the minority.
whoah! an actual good negotiation from DJT??????? Stunner! Way to go, champ.

I'm not saying Musk's deal to buy twitter will fail...but if it were likely to fail, it would have a 10% gap right now to its closing price. And it does.
Spiro Agnew’s Ghost @SpiroAgnewGhost Twitter’s stock is trading at $48.70, a 10.1% discount to Musk’s offer. As someone who used to participate in trading stocks of pending acquistions, I can tell you that this is a HUGE discount and means smart people are VERY skeptical the deal will close, which I am happy to see.

As a Tesla investor, I'd be very happy if it doesn't close. I'd rather Elon spend more time on Tesla. Twitter is a sinkhole and it will take a lot of effort to pull it out.
But I think it's extremely likely that this goes through. Like 99% sure. This isn't one of those cases where the funding source is sketchy. Elon has the money and he's not going to embarrass himself by backing out.

Well, that and the fact that Musk is a bit of a barker... he loves to shoot out a controversial tweet and burn some cash on a fake project to get people talking (remember the tunnel idea, lol). He openly engages in insider trading (SEC stopped caring). I personally think he's a blowhard and narcissist who is disconnected from reality. A very rich and very dangerous dude.

I think if there's one thing Musk isn't worried about, it's embarrassing himself. He seems to take a sort of masochistic pleasure in embarrassing himself. In non-engineering things. When it comes to machines he is completely hardcore.
But that can cut two ways: Buying twitter and taking a financial bath...or walking away from twitter claiming he found something in due diligence.

But he's also hardcore when it comes to business. This is not the kind of thing he goofs off about. When Elon decides to do something grand, he follows through.

Not saying the deal won't go through. But I seriously doubt Musk would embarrass himself if he chose to back out.
It would be beyond easy for him to spin it any way he wanted to (more likely end up embarrassing someone else, rather than himself, in most people's minds).

What tunnel idea are you talking about? He does own a tunnel company called the Boring Company.
The SEC definitely cares about insider trading allegations. There is an active investigation of Elon and his brother going on right now.
We need to bring law and order back to America. The Chicago DA who refused to prosecute Jussie Smollet was going to let this guy go even though he gave 30 shots to the head with a hammer. Get rid of the defund the police people and bring back law and order.
