Not really, this wasn't a functional filibuster. A filibuster is supposed to hold up a vote, and either wear down the opposition, or force concessions in the bill. This wasnt attached to a bill, it was just an opportunity to grab the mic, and score political points with the voters.

The objective was for Cory Booker to audition for Chuck Schumer's job by laying out what the Democratic agenda would look like under Booker's leadership, including exhibiting strength. Does anyone believe that the simpering, spineless, weakling Schumer could have spoken like that for even an hour, no less 24?

It is long past time for Schumer to go. Nobody on either side, anywhere in the government, respects him. He's used his position to gain enormous wealth, and now that his weakness has helped MAGA to gain power and destroy our nation, he STILL wants to hang around and pad his bank account. What other reason could there be? He certainly isn't offering ANY opposition to the Nazis, just appeasement and compliance.

I've hated him with a white-hot passion ever since he cooperated with the Republican smear campaign against Al Franken, destroying his career and his life, just so he could clear the decks for his friend Gillibrand to run for president. Then her camaign flamed out in weeks. They ruined Al Franken's life for NOTHING. Fuck this Vichy piece of shit.

If he was in front of me, I would happily say all of this to his stupid Nazi collaborator face. I wish I had that chance.

Schumer needs to go, and make way for AOC, and let Booker run the show. I'm not a huge fan of Booker, but he's light-years ahead of Schumer.

The hoax sells better framed with some authentic carnage.

So his version of HitlerPig's John Baron?

Nope, 2020, fat fingers, I'll edit.

We need to start screaming that the 2024 election was rigged. We ALL know it. Stop revering this "peaceful transfer of power" bullshit, that isn’t more important than demanding that our Democratic Elections be honored.

HitlerPig is going to win his 3rd term with 98% of the vote, and declare that the voters have effectively ended the 22nd Amendment, and the Dems will go along with it.

Any woman or minority on Fox News deserves any humiliating treatment they get.

They might get away with it in a low firearm state like NY, but if they're in Florida, and a bunch of guys try to drag away a screaming woman, they might find themselves catching bullets.

From the article:

Martell-Lebron was found guilty of two counts of trafficking cocaine and one count of trafficking heroin in Middlesex Superior Court in 2009, court documents show. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison after already serving a little less than two years while awaiting trial.

He got out in ~~2000~~ 2020. So "a decade of not causing any trouble" is technically true, but only because he was already in prison.

Who could have foreseen that banning all the highly active, long-term accounts in the same month would have a negative effect? Now they can live with all their bots, puns, Russian Karma Farmers, novelty accounts, and trolls.

After the Inauguration, they had a bloodbath in February, permabanning many long-term, high karma accounts like mine (12yrs, 900K+).

These were the members who built Reddit into what it was, and after over a decade of high volume posting without getting banned, suddenly all of us made comments that earned permanent bans in the same month. Yeah, that's plausible.

Now that they've ejected many if the members that made Reddit a lively place to debate, they're stuck with novelty accounts, puns, bots, Russian Karma Farmers, shitposters, trolls, and general bullshit. I just went over to read some subs I love, and literally the first post I read was complaining about how long they had to scroll to get past the stupid puns to get to the real discussion.

Its been getting increasingly bad for a long time, but apparently it's gotten far worse lately, now that they decided to get rid of the red meat and go vegan.

I like Lemmy, but they don't have anything close to the active guitar forums that Reddit had.

That's why it was so shocking when a judge recently compared them to Nazis, and even implied that the Mazis were kinder! Unfortunately, many MAGA Trairors woumd be proud of that.

Also, I have NEVER heard a news personality call any of them Traitors, despite an Insurrection, the False Electors Plot, hundreds of stolen classified documents, turning against our allies, smooching the world's worst authorities, etc.

By any objective measure, Agent Krasnov is the most prolific traitor in American history, more than all other American traitors COMBINED.

And yet not one talking news head has ever called him a Traitor.

I wish it was being taken seriously here. Many in America, including Democrats, think calling these maniacs traitors and Nazis is hyperbole/ rhetoric/ exaggerration/ propaganda, but it isnt. Its exactly what they are, and the sooner people understand and internalize that, the sooner we can purge them from our government.
