Same question again, why haven’t the “adult” Republicans spanked the obstructionist Democrats by ending the filibuster yet?

Republicans keep telling us America is with them, and they can fix what Obama broke, but wasted a year being blocked at every turn by the “America hating” liberals. How much longer will they make America suffer?

Ah, those with short term memory issues. Remember when the Democrats controlled the Senate, and the Republicans filibustered everything they could.
Actually, there is no filibuster going on now, the Republicans don't have enough votes to obtain a simple majority because of fractions among themselves.

There is no filibuster.

The GOP doesn't have enough votes to break a filibuster.

1 - 35 billion to Puerto Rico for hurricane recovery

2 - appointed supreme court justice

3 - appointed 12 federal appeals judges (a historical record)

4 - passed tax reform bill

5 - recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital

6 - passed bill to repeal federal business regulations

7 - passed bill to improve appeals process of veteran benefits

8 - passed a bill to revitalize NASA

9 - began a campaign against slavery and human trafficking

10 - gave 500 million in small business loans for woman-owned businesses

11 - implemented his travel ban

12 - withdrew from the Paris Climate agreement

13 - withdrew from TPP

14 - declared public health emergency for the opioid epidemic

15 - ordered the first ever audit of the Department of Defense

16 - negotiated increased NATO support in Afghanistan

17 - reopened NAFTA for talks

Mitch McConnell is swamp dweller and refuses to upset the democrats by doing it.

Funny how liberals were crying about a government shutdown and acting like anything would be better than that when Obama was President isn't it. You must not read the papers very often since liberals haven't been able to block everything.
