7. I heard Fetterman saying he'd vote for cloture before the elections

The fix was in for a while. The cynical side of me says that senate dems told Spanberger and others from Virginia that this would be resolved right after the election. It played for a cudgel in VA.

They knew the republicans wouldn’t give in a bit. What’s pathetic is they gained next to nothing. I’m really amused by this vote Dems will supposedly get. The trust they place in Thune is laughable. I’m tired of the gaslighting by some on this site, that somehow republicans caved. They’re laughing their asses off. If Trump is saying it’s a good deal, well it clearly isn’t. I don’t need some hack pundit telling me otherwise.
