And what does it accomplish?

And then the party immediately squandered the moment, showing they learned nothing

No offense but nobody except deeply online people care about UC or the Ambassador to NATO

oh fuck off

Mr. Cory Booker…
I am so proud of you…
And very thankful for you.
Thank you.

it’s like teaching a baby to read, if the baby pooped directly on your face after every sentence

bobbylewis.bsky.social•7 days ago

ambassador to nato isnt that important in a govt that wants no part of nato, but dems doubling back on voting for trump nominees right after that nice long speech with the notable bit about how they’re not doing enough…frustrating is one word for it. even/especially if they couldn’t stop him anyway

Refusing unanimous consent probably means they have to give up their three-day weekend. Most of the Democrats would have to remain to prevent a second vote in their absence, I think.

They could’ve used a prolonged debate on the nato appointment to highlight the ways Trump is actually endangering America by jeopardizing traditional alliances. This isn’t hard!

Wat? Who voted for that bullshit? Did the get a deal on his big dick toilets!🤮

So many shitbird historical figures we can dunk on next. The possibilities are endless.

Unfortunately, nobody signed up to keep talking after him

Booker was a leader for all of us! He makes me feel proud.

plusran.bsky.social•7 days ago

I feel like it had to be him though. He had so much joy to share. And he was glowing! Telling jokes after 20 HOURS I'm just amazed. If some guy got up and mumbled through the dictionary whatever it wouldn't have been the same. This was a GOOD SPEECH.

but then the unanimous consent

angstymcgee.bsky.social•7 days ago

Would be awesome if the whole caucus decided to start beating each other’s records on the floor.

doremiflutist.bsky.social•7 days ago

Even without overwriting the record, lots to do. I think they ought to coordinate and take turns, demanding something specific (e.g. the deportations, or the Musk stuff). 47 Senators each doing half Booker's time, one after another, could lock things up for weeks, if I'm understanding correctly.

semiquaver.bsky.social•7 days ago

truth!

My 16 y.o. daughter was telling me all about it tonight. It has pierced through to the youth 😀

90% of leadership is showing up.
