Ah yes, a real heritage foundation constitutionalist here folks.
Yes The glorious US government of 1850. What was it that happened 11 years later? Are we even the same government at this point?
Has the filibuster been used in different ways since that time. 2008-2016, they just said filibuster and no one even had to hold the floor, the bills would crumble.
let these fuckers cook and pray they can hold the floor for 2 years.
Well friend, what are you and the people you support doing? Are you opposing legislation by holding the floor and not allowing it to get introduced? Are you bringing a voice to all the suffering thats coming for us all?
Are you still doing the 2024 dems are bad so just let trump win and fuck the world spin?
I don’t know if you remeber 2008-2016 but republicans basically threatened to filibuster everything and no laws got passed.
Democrats are warming up for 2-8 years of filobustering everything I hope. Its better than you know 12 senators voting with republicans to screw their constituents. Schumers to old to hold the floor for 12hours over night. Someones gonna have to be brave enough and strong enough to oppose like this for years.
Glad to see so much popular support. The virgin rage and impotence is palpable.

Democrat Cory Booker’s marathon Senate floor speech, in which he is largely criticizing the Trump administration’s policies and spending cuts, has just passed the 12-hour mark.
The U.S. Senator from New Jersey has held the floor since about 7 p.m. ET on Monday, pausing only to take questions—and a breath—from Democrat allies.
He has so far largely targeted spending cuts, including efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, and the need for greater bipartizanship in Congress.
The 55-year-old has vowed to keep going “as long as I am physically able.”
Booker’s speech is not a filibuster because it is not blocking legislation or a nomination.
The New Jesey Senator is part of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s campaign strategy to focus on kitchen-table issues, including federal spending cuts, ahead of next year’s midterms.

Did you find anything in that link to suggest that they are doing a filibuster for fun. would love it if they would filibuster until 2026.

Im so glad so many people understand how our government works and make every effort to undermine oppostion and support authoritarianism.
Your link just had a ton of articles i could not find your quote.
He’s holding the senate floor in a filibuster. If what you say is true they maybe trying to introduce legislation or a nomination. I seriously doubt they are standing up there all night to stretch their voices. They are submitting public testimony to the record.
Did you have any thoughts? I’m not even sure how to respond to your link.
Edit: I found the quote, they described a filibuster, and then claimed his was not one. Great reporting. Holding the floor for 12 hours is obsructing the legislature.

Just this huh not the…. points at dozens of examples of what dictators do
Ya scapegoating imaginary enemies never ended badly for anyone
Just like trump in the white house, we should experience similar trajectories. Maniac in charge sorrounded by yes men.
I was going for Barney Stintson but i will take it! glad it had some voice
Mmm those physical withdrawl symptoms are something once you’ve been at it for some years.
Also it makes you fat! You may not notice now but you will! Took me 2 years to sweat all the gin out. I still drink on occasion as well. I know all to well the cycle of drinking making work suck, work making you want to drink, wash and repeat. The end result is fat, sad, and physical addiction that makes your hands shake.

Yes I just wanted to add a meme to the meme. but if you wanted a psych anal: I think that someone who looks for inconvenience to drink, is probably frequently inconvenienced. They are already maladapted to negative stimulation, and instead of confronting that problem in a healthy manner, they are tricking themselves into thinking is therapy.
This isn’t a fun problem drinking meme, this is just a cry for help. There’s certainly a time and place for drinking, I usually think celebrating and spending time with loved ones. If you’re drinking because something upset you, you are creating a habit that even non-alchoholics will have a hard time kicking. It invites more misery into your life quickly. Medicine and a poison. Intentions matter. If you liked this meme and thought it was funny, it’s not, and its never to early or to late to quit and seek help.
Thank you for the insight. Will have to look into this more.
Ukrainian political veterans? you mean the pro-russia thieves they tossed out in 2014? Or the remaining russian stooges. Glad to hear the white house is getting involved with yet another election. We really just do anything russia does now.
I call it 🌈alcoholism🌈 Therapy would be a cheaper choice.
Don’t forget Molly cokeketamolly. It’s a Bay Area classic
Yes it’s against Reddit ToS to confront MAGA with logic, or criticize the great works of Emperor Monsk
Seriously it will not kill you to support some kind of political opposition to authoritarianism flirting with nazis.
I’m always amazed this site is a bunch of left of center folks and yet your words and actions are always in favor of republicans destroying progressivism.
How is being a doomer working out? You guys gaining any ground on not getting deported or detained for 1st amendment rights?
You think this is doing nothing? So you’re telling me the republicans have no pending legislation or nominations they are trying to pass this week? You don’t think they have an endless list of bullshit to pass. Any time taken away from them being able to screw us over is good.
You’re making me a doomer tho chill.
