12. The big quetion is reconciliation

The Predator Party has been threatening to pass everything but ICE (which Dems agreed to many weeks ago), and then take ICE through reconciliation. The implication is that would allow the Guardians of Predators to fund ICE without making ANY of the reforms that Dems have demanded.

The question is, "If that was so easy, then why didn't the Epstein Club do that already?" There was nothing for them to gain by creating all this chaos at the airports.

I have seen very little on this. I must surmise that the Child Rapist Enablers party doesn't really believe they can use reconciliation rules.

Does anybody have any recent information on this?
