Republicans are sharpening their knives while the Senate prepares to hunker in for a long weekend as Democrats deploy a special process to pass the partys sprawling health care, tax and climate plan without buy-in from across the aisle.
Republican leaders fumed over the Democratic effort at a press conference on Friday, one day before the Senate is prepared to begin consideration of the plan, while taking aim at Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), two key centrist holdouts, for backing the effort.

So, what will vote-a-rama be like? Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) told reporters on Friday, referring to the voting marathon senators are set to be subjected to in the next few days as part of the process Democrats are using to pass the bill. Itd be like hell.
They deserve this. As much as I admire Joe Manchin and Sinema for standing up to the radical left at times, theyre empowering legislation that will make the average persons life more difficult, Graham said.
Graham, along with Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), also threatened not to vote for a critical funding measure ahead of a September deadline, when government funding is set to lapse, over the effort.

Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, acknowledged the issue during the press conference on Friday, questioning whether Manchin and Sinema would vote for such an amendment.
Because they both said that they wont vote after they felt like, in the American Rescue Plan, they voted for a wraparound amendment and felt like they were misled by their leadership at the time that they would never vote for one of those again, Thune said.

Politics, just one big assblast, etc.

If Sinema and Manchin are on board there's not really much the GOP can do so this feels like an empty threat

Meanwhile, republicans will squeak in a small majority over the midterms, then repeatedly push an automatically-vetoed "repeal this thing!" bill over and over again for the next two years - only to suddenly stop if a republican gets elected president.

As much as the democrats are the "do nothing" party, the republicans are somehow aggressive about doing nothing.

Theyre all number 2 in my eyes

I'd want a civil war if I wasn't so certain the left would lose.

Why do you think the left would lose?

Because the right would have the majority of the police, the majority of the military, and the majority of civilians who know how to use guns.
