Some have said it was the most viewed political broadcast in history. People are saying it. Many people.

First of all, it delayed the vote to cut Medicaid. Even if just by a day, it means that someone’s grandma may get coverage for oxygen that would have been cut a day earlier. Second, it shows that Democrats are willing and able to fight. The Senate can’t vote until discussion ends. Cory wasn’t just delaying the Medicaid vote, he was delaying every single item on the agenda after that. It sends a strong signal; come back and work with us on legislation, or don’t come back at all. Another thing to remember is that it takes 3/5ths of the present members to break the filibuster. Cory being able to go that long without being procedurally cut short also sends a clear message of unity, republicans couldn’t break the filibuster.

Edit: oh, and to top it off, Trump’s public address for yesterday got like 20k views total. The single stream that I was in for Cory’s filibuster got over 150k peak views. Trump has got to be pissed about that.

I dunno if you’ve missed literally everything in the last 3 months, but I would kill to get back to “firmly right-wing”. You know what calling Democrats ‘zionists’ gets you? It gets you Donald Trump as President. How many times will you throw out good (or even just better) because it’s not perfect?

Trump ignores the Constitution, what makes you think he cares (or even knows) what’s in the terms and conditions of his insurance contract?

Serrate it. Chaos is fair.

Well, that, and to act as a check/balance to the powers of the presidency and supreme court… Which they are also not doing.

Even if they agree with the insane shit that trump is doing, it is their job to legislate it, rather than sit on their thumbs and let him create law by executive policy.

Right. Point your finger at Cybertruck, highest government office in the land calls for your arrest. Run over protestors with your brodozer? Clear case of self defense.

Get the fuck out of here.

They are fascinating little creatures. They have a bunch of stripes on them, even across their legs. They eat dangerous house pests. They are venomous, but their “bites” are less irritating than a mosquito bite. They also don’t technically bite, they envenomate using two modified legs.

I hope we find out that he drowned in his own pony jar.

The fact that you think TDS is a thing (and a thing that people on the left have especially) says it all. Troll verification complete.

I’ll bite.

Jon isn’t ultra liberal, I’d say he’s on the far side of center left, like a lot of Democrats. Pro-capitalism, but managed/regulated capitalism. Pro social safety nets, but not “everyone gets everything they need for free”.

The guy basically quit his show and went to the mat for 9/11 first responders, and I get the feeling that the opinions and issues he talks about are his actual opinions on issues that are important to him. I applaud him for not holding back on attacking Biden when it was clear that Biden was unfit for another 4 years in office. I think if we had listened to Jon earlier, we would have been able to run an actual primary and get Democrat voters more engaged. If you find Jon annoying or intolerable now, it might just be because he’s calling out shit that you like, and he’s doing it effectively.

You say that like that isn’t a thing trump has been explicitly pushing for.

Read “Packing for Mars.” I think you’d enjoy it.

Takes even less time to sharpen an axe or tie a knot…

Actually, it’s in there because shit doesn’t fall off your ass in 0G. It kinda curls out towards the back if left to dodo its own thing.

It’s the Pabst or maybe Bud-light of hot sauces. I’ll use it if it’s the only option, but give me 5 bucks and 5 minutes at any grocery store, and I’ll find somthing better.

That’s because evolution is a results-driven process. All that matters is making viable offspring. Doesn’t matter how it gets done.

Yeah, Tabasco is overrated. Get Louisiana Hot Sauce instead. A little less heat, but tastes waaaay better.

Only under certain conditions.

Brake.
