Join Jim and Greg as they cheer much lower death rates from COVID-19 compared to the early days of the pandemic. They also sound the alarm that Democrats plan to kill right to work laws nationwide and crush the gig economy if they take full control in Washington. And they marvel at how activist Democrats have decided that Sen. Dianne Feinstein isn’t far left enough to lead the party on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Jim hopes that if Biden wins and Dems take the Senate and keep the House, that the repeal of right-to-work gets “push-back” and is not passed.
I hope that it actually sails through. Because the people who vote for people like Biden need to feel the resulting pain. Otherwise there’s not even a chance that they’ll learn anything, and hopefully do better in the future.
The idea of electing Democrats and suffering no consequences – at least right off – is at least inherently, if not deliberately, part of the leftist agenda.
P.S. I will never get Tommy John underwear. There’s already enough of a fertility crisis in this country, without men thinking that wearing close-fitting underwear all the time is a good idea.
Maybe 3 years of tearing down the President and Republicans who support him wasn’t so smart.
Are you referring to Jim? It does seem foolish to think/believe/hope that the Democrats don’t mean what they say.
If the Democrats abolish the filibuster and then ban right to work laws, then the next time they are in the majority the Republicans could pass a national right to work law.
Adding four Democratic Senators (e.g., D.C. and Puerto Rico) would probably not be enough to guarantee the Democrats’ permanent control of the Senate. So if they’re going down that path, they would need to add more Senators (e.g., splitting California four ways, Guam, Virgin Islands).
The Constitution doesn’t allow for additional states to be formed within states or from parts of other states. Of course, if they controlled the Supreme Court that wouldn’t stop them.
Thou hast said it!
Are Never Trumpers really as naive and simpleminded as they appear, or are they simply working for the other side?
No, it says they can’t be formed without the consent of the involved State legislature(s) and the Congress.
