    Simple majorities can’t pass legislation, according to every dem that has ever had to excuse their failure of a party, so how did this one pass?

      In the Senate simple majorities cannot.

      This vote was in the house.

      SMH.

        Really? I’m pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What’s the next excuse then? What’s the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.

          Really?

          You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?

                This dude is tripling down on the idea republicans don’t pass legislation far more frequently than dems despite never having a filibuster-proof Senate majority.
