Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
Honestly the first actual sign of resistance from within the Senate chamber.
Dumbass L*dditor gets amused by jingling keys.
If the Democrats actually wanted to be an opposition party he wouldn't need to be speaking right now. At least some are supporting him.
Perhaps if he wore a bomb vest to the next senate meeting I would consider forgiving him.
If he uses it, same
New headline: One of Murica's leading zionists shits himself publicly during pointless 24 hour talkathon. Booker signs and sells senate diapers to raise money for Israel to kill more Muslims.
#diapers4israel
Omg, the blue sky comments made me want to hurl. All this over a filibuster to stop nothing? Couldn't have pulled this shit when it actually would do something, I guess.
A lot of words and no actions.. until Schumer steps down Democrats have learned nothing and have nothing new to offer. If you want us to believe you have changed show us don't tell us.
Cory booker is probably an even more virulent zionist than Schumer. He's been pro israel, and anti-palestine his entire career.
I’ll believe it when I see it
LOL
Their words are worthless.
Do something meaningful. At minimum, replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, and make it abundantly and publicly clear you did so because of capitulation to fascism.
He's literally "Do better, senator"-ing himself 🤯. Very meta.
Anyone know what he is filibustering?
There's is no particular vote that he is fillibustering, he is just doing it because he can.
The NYT also theorized that he wanted to do this at some point anyway, because the record for longest continuous speech in the Senate is currently held by Strom Thurmond, while fillibustering the ~~1967~~ 1957 Civil Rights bill, and Booker wanted to top it. He only has an hour or two to go to get there.
He's not filibustering. He's grandstanding.
What happens when he needs to take a shit?
The last record-holder, Strom Thurmond, would shit in a bucket in a coat room while keeping one foot in the Senate chamber and still talking. He was attempting, of course, to filibuster the Civil Rights Act.
oh yeah, biden's best friend that he gave a euology at his funeral for because he did so much good work for the government
I'm assuming there is no existing audio of the guy speaking out against civil rights while taking a dump? Or at least a transcription of that specific part of his speech so we can imagine at home? It seems like an emblematic moment in American history.
