Fucking yes.

Cowards and collaborators. The Peace Corps, ironically, apparently supports fascism.

Fucking fnally. Somebody said NO.

Y’know, I’m starting to think those Israelis are a bunch of fucking assholes.

And yet, the military keeps voting for him…

I mean, veterans did mostly vote for Trump, so…

I’m jealous, but best of luck! If you don’t mind sharing, where are you headed? We daydream of moving to a Nordic country, but pretty much anywhere would do.

Yup.

Just a big 12 hour pile of Democratic bullshit instead of action.

Get ready to be downvoted into oblivion for being smart enough to realize talking gets us nowhere.

Standing and delivering a speech for 25 hours straight is a genuinely incredible physical and mental feat.

So is eating 73 hot dogs in 10 minutes. What does it accomplish?

give voices to seniors worried about losing social security, and to draw more attention to the absolutely broken state of our government

Everybody paying attention is already aware of these things. What does repeating them accomplish?

Most of it will look like talking until the talking pushes people to start acting

Our representatives are the ones who are supposed to be acting. Again, what did this speech accomplish?

Yup. Useless theatrics are all the democratic party is capable of these days.

This technically isn’t a filibuster. He’s not blocking any legislation or appointments. He’s just talking, and we know how far talking gets us.

Are you opposing legislation by holding the floor and not allowing it to get introduced?

Booker isn’t either. Again, in case you missed it:

But your never really sure who is in which group

It’s pretty easy to determine which group our representatives are in.

as if

See? You don’t even truly believe they’ll happen. But hey, you do you

I thought Finland hated Russia?

Midterms? You think there will be midterms? Optimist!

They are trying to break the government beyond all repair. At that point they’ll say it’s the Democrats that broke it.

Their cult members will swallow the lie hook line and sinker, and continue to keep them in power. (Side note, this will be made easier by gutting all election oversight as part of the package.)

Meanwhile, all that tax money we paid into Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare, Unemployment insurance… basically any program meant to help people, will flow directly into billionaire’s pockets.

Fuckin John Brown. The hero we need.
