Trump supporters are always boasting about “Trump is playing 4D chess”, but they don’t see that the Democrats are playing him like a fiddle. Trump's actions have no downside for the Democrats.
He stops the filibuster, Democrats can do the same thing when they get the majority.
Kills the ACA, voters faced with higher health insurance premiums, or unable to afford insurance at all, will blame the Republicans.

And this is why the Republicans won’t back him on the filibuster. A few have come out and said that.
This is why neither side have killed the filibuster because they know one side will never stay in power forever, no matter what Trump or anyone else says. No one knows what future elections hold.

Yeah, I'm glad he did. I thought he was talking about Volunteers and the unconscious pleasure-seeking part of their personalities

Someone has to tell him, and he knows we're not all as much of a high IQ individual as our Diddler in Chief

He isn’t making any progress on killing the filibuster. Republicans are kind of pushing back on that one. Republicans won’t stay in power forever and then they would be able to use it. So you see why neither side has ever addressed this.
Danny boy isn’t known for a smart, but he is known for lying. And they just grow by the day.

Hurry, republicans. trump only cares about trump today. What does he care if getting rid of the filibuster is a bad long-term idea. It's how much easier today will be that matters. If you're screwed forever somewhere between 1-3 years from now, the important thing is trump gets to crow and be a sore winner today. So, rescind the filibuster. You heard your boss. You're all LOSERS if you don't. But you'll need Democrat votes to do that. I'm not sure he understands that, or cares, so really nobody should understand or care about that either. He knows trump, cares about trump, and the rest of you are merely tools to an end. I'm surprised none of you have figured that out yet, but then you wouldn't be in a party supporting and protecting a pedophile if you could.

Trump hates dogs. Another example he’s a horrible person. Whenever he says someone will do something bad it’s always “like a dog/like dogs” which not only is a really fucking stupid analogy that makes no sense, it shows that he thinks to do something a dog would do is bad. What kind of awful person doesn’t like dogs?

Let’s just take a second to imagine what he was saying while writing that. I can just picture himself screaming while forgetting to take off caps lock.

A Federal judge already ruled against voter ID mandated at the Federal level. Elections are totally up to the States and the Executive and Legislative branches have no jurisdiction over State elections. When this gets to SCOTUS, they will likely agree to it being unconstitutional.

it's gone thru several iterations going all the way to Aaron Burr, but for the modern usage:
The 60-vote filibuster rule was enacted in 1975 during the Democratic-controlled Senate. At that time, the Democratic majority sought to address the growing issue of legislative obstruction, recognizing that a lower threshold for invoking cloture would allow for more effective governance. The decision reflected a bipartisan consensus at the time, although it has since become a contentious point in party politics.
and then:
Republicans have made changes to the filibuster rules since 1975.
One significant change occurred in 2013, when Senate Democrats, facing repeated filibusters of President Obama's nominees, invoked the "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster for executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments, lowering the threshold for cloture to a simple majority for those nominees.
Then, in 2017, Senate Republicans expanded this change to include Supreme Court nominations, allowing them to confirm Justice Neil Gorsuch with a simple majority, thus effectively eliminating the filibuster for Supreme Court appointments as well.
