A jailed member of the Proud Boys extremist group was sentenced on Friday to more than four years in prison for his role in a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol three years ago, court records show.
William Chrestman, a U.S. Army veteran from Olathe, Kansas, brandished an axe handle and threated police with violence after leading other Proud Boys members to the perimeter of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Chrestman pleaded guilty in October to obstructing the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress for certifying the Electoral College vote. He also pleaded guilty to a second felony count of threatening to assault a federal officer during the Capitol riot.
You mean a bare majority that would necessarily need to include Manchin and Sinema? Why would they vote to abolish the filibuster?
There are always enough Manchins.
it wouldn’t need either of them.
Exactly how would the Democrats get a majority when the Senate was 50/50 and two Democrats wouldn’t vote for it. You do know that 50 + the Vice President = Majority, not 48 and the Vice President couldn’t do shit, right?
creative timing meant to exclude the full Senate from participating in the vote could accomplish it. or offering a deal to the Republicans.
Please name exactly when this creative timing could have achieved or what deal the Republicans would have accepted to agree to vote to end the filibuster.
I am not in DC. I don’t have a plan. I’m saying it’s possible.
If you know it’s possible, you’ll know how to achieve it. Otherwise you just have silly religious faith.
try to be civil. calling me silly just because I don’t literally live in DC and know every senator’s day-to-day schedule doesn’t mean that it’s not possible.
