And now that Harry has a 6-year reprieve, he can have the balls to get them through the senate too, if he wants to.


He can show Angle what "manning up" really looks like.



Let's use the lameduck congress as a fucking bludgeon.

5. That would require backbone. I think the House could do it. The Senate?

8. Is it stupid for me to think MAYBE Harry will just say he doesn't want to be leader anymore & let
new Senate be led by Schumer or Durbin? I'm fairly sure Harry won't run again after this 6 years, and I know if I were in his position, I wouldn't want all the BS again!

9. Nothings Going Anywhere
In the lame duck session or the next two years. Just like many other good bills the past four years, anything that is passed out of the House will die in the Senate...moreso now.

Get ready for two years of gridlock and an even more hostile rushpublican party. I'm just glad something decent were passed...the chance to do many of these things again won't be coming our way for a long time.

12. Yeah, she's not gonna do that
Which, in large part, is why she's not Speaker anymore.
