      They still don’t have the votes to pass SAVE. One corrupt, opportunist, self-serving Senator isn’t going to pass it.

      lol only reason he flipped is to save his own ass. james talarico is leading both GOP chucklefucks in the polls and it fucking terrifies them. i would view this more as watching a dude in the death throes of his reelection campaign rather than a serious development.

      It still appears unlikely that the filibuster will be removed, but this of course is not encouraging news. The pressure on remaining senators from the administration will be signficant.

      Great thing is every so often a MAGA thread pops up on my social media. They are all calling him a Rhino for opposing removing the filibuster in the first place. Those from Texas are all saying they are Paxton no matter what. Texas going blue is getting more and more promising.

      Was that flip worth it- if he does this Trump will own him on every vote and negotiation moving forward.

      And Trump is endorsing him anyway because as much as Trump is a man baby who likes a sycophant, Paxton is polling way too poorly to survive any late surge of voters or the off chance Rs have pissed off Hispanics even worse.

      Self-serving swine. Flips on everyone who fought for their rights through a heavily flawed constitution.

      Mississippi had numerous issues yesterday with purged voters who were still active. The Mississippi Secretary of State used Experian credit checks to „confirm“ addresses and apparently messed it all up. Kicked people off the roles because Experian couldn’t confirm their addresses, even though they lived there.

      Funny thing is, it hit MEN the most, so it is getting more press in Mississippi.

      Look at the way he literally waves the questions off before saying “I think we’re through”. There’s no longer even the mask of pro-democracy left in the GOP.

    14. Disastrous_Thoughts on

      If anyone here is not paying atttention, he did this just so he could earn Trump’s endorsement for the runoff against Paxton.

      >Now, locked in a competitive Republican runoff for his Senate seat and eyeing President Donald Trump’s endorsement, Cornyn says he’ll support „whatever changes to Senate rules that may prove necessary“ *to get Daddy’s endorsement.*

    17. lickem369 on

      Cornyn is being blackmailed to support this or Trump will have his NDA sealed report released where he sexually assaulted a young male intern while in office. Our government is beyond corrupt!

    20. Aggressive-Will-4500 on

      Nothing to see here, just another piece of Republican fascist-supporting garbage.

      Chickenshit motherfucker. Would rather burn the ship than risk losing his job.

    22. Agent-Adept on

      Clear proof the politicians only care about winning elections and they will do anything to make that happen.

    23. ImpressiveMethod8624 on

      The Funniest/Scariest part is the majority of cheating found after elections favors Republicans. Right before voting began in the last election trump told his base to stay home he didn’t need them he’d already won. Now they’re claiming there was a way to rig the machines to give him the percentage he won by. When Republicans claim there’s a way to cheat something they know because they have already exploited it.

    24. virgil_of_the_brooks on

      Look, another gop imbecile trying to suck the orange fascists dick for an endorsement. The GOP party needs to stop with voter suppression & concede the house. They ruined our country with the time they had and can sit out the rest of their lives with no power to ruin our lives anymore

    27. srslytho1979 on

      I can’t believe we’re gonna have to fight for women’s right to vote. WTF.

    28. Phydorex on

      These are the same people who wear the wrong size shoes to stay on the side of dear leader. They have no spines.

    29. FumilayoKuti on

      Willing to destroy his country just to save his seat where he doesn’t do anything but serve as a sycophant for Trump. Fucking comical.

    31. TheTurtleVirus on

      I don’t understand how the SAVE act doesn’t directly violate the 24th amendment. Isn’t the poll tax amendment explicitly designed to prevent any financial burden put upon voters? I just re-ordered a copy of my birth certificate, it cost $60.

    32. slingshot91 on

      I don’t support the filibuster, but this news sheds a little light on the calculations and maneuvering of the GOP and the admin.

      There’s still not enough public outrage leading to any sort of action. At minimum, all Americans should be canceling all subscriptions to big tech companies. There needs to be a massive economic boycott. At this point, Iran is doing more to damage our fascist regime than Americans.

    33. SwimmingPirate9070 on

      Women who voted for this…… I hope you get the nastiest yeast infection of your fucking lives.

    35. Chemical-Fault-7331 on

      John Cornyn is a massive piece of shit. Always has been. Could always rely on this old fuck to betray his country. I hope Talarico takes his seat.

      THE SAVE ACT IT ISNT A VOTER ID BILL!!

      IT ALLOWS DHS TO PURGE STATE VOTER ROLLS EVERY 30 DAYS UP TO THE DAY OF AN ELECTION!!!

      The SAVE Act amends the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require states to submit their entire voter registration lists to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at least every 30 days.

      While the bill uses the phrase „on an ongoing basis“ for general maintenance which includes removal of „suspected non citizens“, the specific 30-day mandate refers to the required data-sharing and verification process with federal agencies, who will take over normal voter removal processes, and allows the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER DHS TO REMOVE VOTER FROM STATE ROLLS for being *suspected* of being a non citizen, forcing them to re-register, in person, with NO 90 day quiet period before an election.

      This information is hidden in a hyperlink in THE SAVE act under the non citizen immigrant portion (which no one noticed because non citizens don’t vote)

    37. HaveHopeandLove on

      The SAVE bill is unconstitutional. It is spelled out very clearly in our constitution that state governments set the rules for how they do voting in their own states, not the federal government!

    38. 8F6D4T7 on

      This dude is past the retirement age. Get these old geriatric white men out of leadership positions.

    39. Sojum on

      Of all the fucking Trump has done of America, this bill fucks us hard and fast. It cannot be allowed to pass. This administration Is (not even hyperbole) evil.

    40. Irishish on

      well, that does it. Next time the pendulum swings, if these fuckers don’t prevent it from ever swinging again, every possible liberal course of action that can be taken with 51 votes should be taken. Every single session, something that no Republican would ever vote for should be passed. Over and over and over again.

    41. Timeformayo on

      The Destroy the Integrity of Elections Act is the most transparent effort to rig elections since the KKK terrorized the post-Reconstruction South, murdered their way to power, and proceeded to disenfrachise blacks for 80 years.

    42. ElectronicAnthony on

      The Save Act will be far worse than Citizens United. It will be the final death blow to democracy.

      „But we can’t remove the filibuster because then Republicans will do it when they win back power!!!“ – Liberal Talking Heads and „centrists“ in 2022.

      Fuck each and every last one of you.

    44. cwk415 on

      Why anyone still trusts a word out of the mouth of ANY republican I will never understand. These people, all of them, have zero integrity and zero credibility. None.
