God do I know, I’m stressed to high hell about my living situation, the landlord, and a worker/cleaner who hates being a cleaner he signed up for.

They would, they just think since he’s registered R that defines everything about him, instead of how Biden loves most of Trump’s policies.

Yep, Thormud is the Ur-Conservative of modern American politics. He was deeply racist, and always deflected with “I’m not a racist, I just think states have more rights than the federal system does!”

Anyone who defends him is like him. Old racist bastards. We should have left him and the people who admired him in the dust, but there are politicians today who supported him until he died. One even gave a Eulogy and called him his friend. https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-biden-eulogy-of-strom-thurmond/4678933

Neat that it has an article already.

I’ve had a few bad encounters with FS, personally. Most often when I called out something Biden did that was genuinely bad (Gaza, COVID mismanagement, Mexican border cages) and he would often blow up at me.

In the final months, he swore anyone attacking him was mocking him for his medical issues randomly, often felt like it was a way to gain sympathy and avoid being downvoted for being rude or oddly combative to people agreeing with him.

If FS comes back, I hope they’re better off mentally and health wise, and I hope they’re better in general, especially their children.

There is no bill being blocked by this. I like the speech but this is not blocking any bills.

I dislike FS but he literally left the country because of his family. His daughter is targetted by MAGA fascism, and he got her and his family out.

He had the means to and I don’t blame him for getting out. If I had the money I would too, and give my friends the means to as well.

We can be good, but we have a lot of poverty testing that prohibits others from that same system.

It is generous, and I hope we can keep it that way, but it also is means tested and often sucks people out of higher education. I’m personally a victim of that, with my local community college.

I am however thankful you got something good, and I wish more people could have it.

He has broken the record set by Thormud in 1957 when he protested the Civil RIghts Act.

And this is why Cory is one of my fav senators, and I’m not in Jersey.

I hope he breaks the record that Thormud made when protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. It would look kinda cool that it was broken to help stop what Thormud wanted in the future.

EDIT: He has https://apnews.com/article/cory-booker-new-jersey-senator-speech-ab573bb7c3c76fa107cacac7136d3823

I fucking hate my state for this shit. Acts like we’re better than Texas or Florida but still is proudly bigoted and hates the poor.

Obama wasn’t president, or was he white?

I agree completely, but when she first came onto the scene I had a bit of hope.

Plus I have to censor myself so liberals don’t think I’m somehow a Russian bot despite being an anarchist.

Yes, a year or so ago she was looking fine. Time changes and new info makes me consider new things.

Newsom confirmed for being a Russian bot that made the account 5 days ago! /j

One year ago I would have agreed. I would have loved to see him with Harris as the VP pick.

And now I just regret ever thinking that.

Yeah Cryophillia has previously dismissed me. I wonder if they’ll forget this next time they say I’m somehow an Ultra Secret Double Agent Trump supporter.

Hey guess what happened with them again within 24 hours, I think they have some form of memory loss.

Yes, I am a secret russian, despite the fact Putin should be hanged and I want a free Ukraine. And I hate how Lenin killed the anarchists in Ukraine.

You see red and only see Republican, ignoring the other contexts of colors in history, everyone is political cartoon, 2D and exaggerated.

Yeah Cryophillia has previously dismissed me. I wonder if they’ll forget this next time they say I’m somehow an Ultra Secret Double Agent Trump supporter.

You will never admit that they have any at all.

Never in a million years, next time someone says “I don’t think Biden should have slowed Trump’s arrest.” they’ll just go “huh, must be a Russian bot.”

Yes, when you pretend that everyone to your left is all the way to your right, you get to dismiss everyone to your left. Pretty sure that’s the only time you have anything bad to say about anyone you claim to be to your right.

Anyone to the left of Reagan/Biden is a Tankie to them.

Trump sucks shit, I’ve never once denied that. Dig through my entire history, you’ll never find me unironically praising Trump, or ever saying he did something great. I don’t think he’s ever done anything good, at least on purpose. I can think of maybe stopping pennies, but that’s like… nothing great.

I don’t like Democrats, but I hate Republicans. I vote Democrat because they’re the only option I have. I’m allowed to call out my reps and the party who has anyone with a braincell hostage because they vote on Trump’s cabinet picks, flip flop on voting no for his Enabling acts, and then act like its some great favor for us that they give Trump what he wants, and how with just another $5 they can finally stop Trump this time.

I want Trump dead. I’ll settle for him rotting in jail. He should have been in jail for Jan 6. He wasn’t. I can only blame Garland for slowing that shit, and not getting the rest of Trump’s enablers and rioters on Jan 6.

Sorry you find me saying “Democrats voting Yes on Trump’s wants isn’t good for anyone.” is somehow bad in your eyes. If Democrats voted no, I’d be happy. I’d be praising them if they stood up, like Al Green, like I have been. If they filibustered to slow him down like Bitch McConnell did for anything good Obama could have pushed for in his second term, I’d be cheering.
