• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

This won't go anywhere while the Senate still has the filibuster rule. Go back to old rules from 40 years ago and a lot of this stops. No way these ancient artifacts called Senators could go 24/7 standing and talking continuously.

When the old rules were in place the number of filibusters could be counted on one hand. Now they occur multiple times. Country ran much smoother when the old rules were in place and things helpful to the citizens were enacted.
Back then, that was the "nuclear option". And yeah, it's fucked us ever since. That and Citizen's United, and the repeal of glass steagall, mccain feingold, etc. They chip away at the Republic a little bit at a time. We're pretty much to the point where it would take a Caesar to fix it.
