The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

By then, it will easily pass the House and go on to the Senate where it stands a better chance than presently...... but still...... 60 votes may be a bridge too far.

but I'm for it.


Me, too, but it's worse than that: 60 votes (only) are needed if only 90 members are present as a quorum.* With a full Senate voting, 67 votes are needed. Pretty high bar, especially if the red senators take their cue from this current house Kegsbreath vote and go with dear, dear leader. The red Congress members do not seem to understand the voters very well...

*60 votes are needed to overcome a filibuster
