Are you guys watching the news? I just don’t know how you can see the conversations with Trump around Gaza, and think. Yes this was the right decision. No one can question that Palestine is better off due to my inaction and inability to make a simple train decision.

“Better to turn Gaza into a parking lot, than send food AID to people. So after deep moral calculations we chose to support the parking lot. FREE PALESTINE???”

North Korea? He’s clearly modeling russia!

Yea we need to keep that energy, i was really hoping someone else would step in and extend it to prevent the vote another day or two.

Noooo im getting ooooold. thanks for the correction.

Huh is that more or less than he’s spent on golfing the last 2 months? Last i checked that was already close to 30 Million. Guess he cares more about golf than illegals. or just wasting tax dollars for fun.

Yes yes. English is hard. Words have 10 meanings and we also use idioms to really make it confusing.

Thats not the meeting we’re discussing since its a senator obstructing a legislative body via a long speech which is procedurally allowed.

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.

They are very comfortable now, they are filled with hate and self righteousness. They are not smart enough to fear whats coming, they don’t think it’s coming for them. Stove theory. Cut the lights and the checks off see who really needs and loves government.

Yea I hope to hear more news from the big cities. For those of you who can just walk out of your houses in mass, grab a sign and do it!

I got 20 people in 2 miles of me. Our town square is just a corner of a highway with a gas station and a church.

THANK YOU WISCONSINN!!!

-bonus if you remember drew Carrie

I’m not the one bitching. I’m just the guy trying to draw peoples attention to the filibuster in the senate.

If the entire country shut down tomorrow I would live blissfully for years, until I died a natural death.

It would appear this is a more pressing issue with you since you can’t survive 2 weeks without a job? Probably not even a week in a food shortage. Seems like you’re very at risk of these tariffs coming in. Why should i risk my saftey and comfort? This is a you problem not a me problem, i’ve been planning for this moment my whole life. If humanity can’t save it’s self i’ll be safely watching from the side lines or catching one of the first nukes out. I’m certainly not going to fight for people who won’t fight for themselves lol. get rekt n00b.

So as a wise man once said…

‘no u’

I liked Bidens America I just want constiutional law and order back not a fucking revolution. Maybe a little eat the rich as a treat? I like 90% tax brackets for rich people.

Lets eat them. Move the protest from the capital to their actual personal residences and don’t let them leave until they step down. No car to the grocery store, human wall. No more making it to the capital to vote, human wall. Plenty of non-violent ways to make their positions unbearable. I agree after seeing the vote pass that Bookers speech was preventing. bunch of turn coat dems. only 45 managed to vote against the new head of nato.

Class war. eat the rich.

Yea if you hear someone rabidly cheering guillotine the couch fucker thats me.

agree 100% just no idea how to get rid of them. Pressure them to step down? vacate the organization to be reorganized? Idk what they are thinking from their ivory tower but most of us are ready for them to step down.

Saturday state capital! I think I will put a picture of the gallows on a sign. You know the ones from Jan 6.

it’s so hard to know what’s legal to day but at least we know its okay to build gallows and chant about hanging the sitting VP. Might even storm that capital and shit on a MAGA legislators desk. You know since thats legal. I’m only covering legal freedom of speech, don’t want to do to much non-violent protest since it’s been deemed illegal.

The distinction everyone is making is usually filibusters are held during a bill debate, before a bill can go to vote. In theory you would have to filibuster indefinitely until one side can get 60 votes to end the filibuster and pass the vote. It forces the other party to gather a larger majority or compromise.

This was delaying a vote on a nomination, it was also proving that they can and will filibuster, not just threaten to filibuster, but talk for 25 hours straight. someone should have continued after him because the nomination passed and i am sad again. 52 votes so more dem defectors yay.

idk where politico and news week are getting their definition of a filibuster, but talking for 24 hours to hold off a nomination vote is a filibuster to me. My community college education may have failed me but i interpret a 25 hour speech on the senate floor a filibuster.
