    He wasn’t fillibustering anything. Literally … no one cared. Nothing got delayed. The multiple Republicans that voted with democrats stopped all votes until Monday.

      It wasn’t supposed to do anything like that. It was an audition for Chuck Schumer’s job, laying out what the Democratic agenda would look like under his leadership, while showing strength, all things Schumer doesn’t have.

      I’m not a big fan of Booker, but he’s miles ahead of the weak, simpering weenie Schumer. I’ll NEVER forgive him for stabbing Al Franken in the back. He’s got to go, and let AOC take his place.

        Schumer is a Republican in my mind. Not quite MAGA level, but he is working for them and giving those traitors aid.

        Thanks for the Booker tip, I didn’t realize what he was doing. I hope he does get Schumers job, anyone with a spine would do better.

    He wore a pin supporting israels war on Palestinians during his speech. At the same time the IDF shot up a pair of ambulances and buried the crews by the side of the road, and refused to let anyone into the area for a week. Booker is just another stooge looking for attention so he can keep his aipac paychecks coming. I hope he gets primaried.

      Please stop making alternating case posts. Shits annoying, not worth the trouble of hitting shift every other character.
