  • Great situational awareness. Ignore the vote on NATO head in the senate a minute after the filibuster. Ignore the election in Wisconsin we have won against Elons money, and ignore the votes in Florida.

    Sure it was worthless what ever you say. I’m over here this topic.

    Booker beat the record for longest filibuster on the Senate floor, which was held by a racist, southern fucker beforehand. That itself should be celebrated.

    But go off. I didn’t read the last one. Feel free to drop another long one.












  • Think about AOC first term, very popular with her base. She got a lot of media attention because republicans hated her. Young hot smart and totally lefty. Couple terms in congress and she is reformed a bit in messaging. She understands procedure better, and she’s eligible for important roles in comittees. In this time she’s gained my support as a centrist.

    I think this is what the party needs to be doing more. We bring in fresh blood, we help them grow as politicians and we don’t strangle their visions and constituents because we don’t agree with them. Let the people decide. But it takes time for AOC to gain my favor. It’s a trust thing, her words and her action, following her over 4-8 years makes you feel better about sending them back for 4 more.

    After 20 years ya curb em, but some of the best politicians and policies are worth fostering and need leadership that can last multiple political cycles.


  • Yea I dealt with my trump voting buddy for 3 years while he sent me shit about Biden starting WW3.

    Trumps like balls deep in WW3 now and my buddy refuses to discuss it. Like bro i spend 3 years calming your fears and watching biden so you didn’t have too. And now your guy starts WW3 and you’re not even gonna tell me its gonna be okay!?!?!?

    We both trade stocks so same thing with the market “hey bud the market may never recover from Trump and you may lose all your money and have to go back to work”

    He does not care.

    So part of my both sides shit is just frustration from having republican friends who are both sides bad until trumps in office and then its like. See no evil hear no evil, quit over reacting lib…

    Also i’ve studied history and presidents. In 30-40 years from now we will be discussing the biden presidency in a very postive light. He looks like an actual genius inbetween two trump terms. I’m tired of hearing about him, tired of having to defend him. He did the best he could with the America we have. Can’t say that about trump.


  • By definition its a filibuster. I think everyone is saying its not a filibuster, because it can not be stopped through cloture. So under the senates procedures and protocols it cannot be voted down like a filibuster. Not that they have the votes anyway. And the rest are just undermining and don’t understand what a filibuster is. It’s their first time hearing about it and they are trusting news week to do their thinking.

    A filibuster is just a long speech or something to delay the legislative session. it can be used for a specific bill, or as they are using it now, it can be used to delay a nomination vote for 24 hours. RIP NATO.
