Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Yeah, that's what I heard too. He can take a break if he hands the baton to another senator who is asking a question and those senators will end up asking a really long (like 20 min long) question so that Booker can eat and take a break. So like Chris Murphy and Elizabeth Warren have both helped with this.
However, he cannot just take a break without handing the baton over so technically the CNN story is accurate. Their omission was to not mention the option to baton pass for a question - baton passing for a question doesn't mean he yielding the floor so it's ok by the rules.
But wow, good on Booker.
I stand corrected on this - Booker could take a break by letting someone ask a question but he could not leave the chamber so Booker did not piss for 25 hours (and seemingly did not drink anything). Apparently he stopped eating on Friday and stopped drinking on Sunday in preparation for his speech. No word on whether he worn a diaper or not.
The pure retarded MAGA brainwashed NPC brain that posts here once in awhile is astounding.
Yeah....
Your voting patterns and supporting of policies is why Canadians have a hard time affording a house, but sure, place your support behind retards that ruined New York or New Jersey or California or Illinois or any other shithole that is run by the same party you know little to nothing of because you heard it is the "right side of history" or some stupid catch phrase.
I'll be over here, being a brainwashed MAGA guy enjoying watching the mostly peaceful democrats vandalizing the teslas of other democrats while our economy soars in the next 1-3 years.
You can hold me to that, too. I'll eat my words and say I was wrong at the end of that 3 year period if it doesn't improve or goes down.

Ahh imagine spending time in some shithole like New York or LA or Stratton or Boston or Seattle when you could be in Birmingham or Cleveland or St. Louis or Chattanooga.
You know why places are expensive? It's cause they aren't shitholes and people want to live there. You should have comprehension of that supply and demand aspect being such an economic aficionado.

Joke's on you MAGA boy, I voted Conservative when I lived in Richmond because the guy running in my riding was actually a pretty good human being and a responsive dude.
I don't agree with the party as a whole, but he seemed like a good guy for my constituency at the time.
I don't run around pretending this is the USA and getting into a cult of hero worship for some leader of a party.
And yah we will see how things are in 3 years, not that you'll acknowledge it with all the kool-aid you've already drank. Funny thing about people who get so single minded about things -- they can't admit they're wrong no matter what happens because that would involve admitting they've based their entire identity on false ideals.
Can anybody shed some light into the 25hr speech that Cory Booker did and exactly what the utility of it was?
I understand typically the filibuster is used to delay some sort of vote on a controversial bill. However in this case there wasn't any.
Everything I have read was simply he wanted to bring light to the shit Trump has been doing by... Talking for a long time? It just seems like the most passive, useless DNC shit ever? It's like bringing a bowl of pudding to a knife fight.
Like, do Republicans even give a shit or bother to listen to any rational argument for more than 10 mins?
What's the point? Somebody please tell me there was a bigger plan than simply just to talk a long time to show how much he disapproves of Trump.

Think of it as an equivalent of a sit-in but bigger in scope and scale. The Dems are having a really hard time cutting through the noise because of how widespread the corruption and criminality is with the Trump admin and because the Dems leadership sucks at fighting back. Doing a big sit-in gets a lot of media attention (it was on every SM feed I had and was mostly a top 5-8 headline in most major papers/news sites)
By no means is it game changing but it's a start and a meaningful step in the game.
Dems are so neutered right now ... I hope to hell that they are working feverishly behind the scenes to put up a sensible charismatic candidate in 2028. (edit)
... maybe Obama ... . if you haven't heard, Trump would like to run against Obama in the next election ... after he removes the 2 term limit for presidency.

that would be absolutely hilarious if it was obama vs trump. obama would win in a landslide because dems would actually come out in huge numbers for once. however MAGA would cry about a stolen election for the next 20 years if they lost.
Seems to be a huge deal since that fuckin loser is trying to get out of all his child support responsibilities.
I think that's just coz he's a terrible human being not because of the cost.

The truth is that Musk doesn't want to support his trans kid = terrible human being.
How about giving each of your kids $1M in trust when they turn 21? Or 30? Any earlier and it would be squandered probably. Throw in a Tesla of their choice when they are 18 or 21 ... if they want one that is.
The Tesla founder claimed in the past that he was “tricked” into giving his approval for Vivian’s trans-related medical treatments back when she was 16 years old.
Vivian has often been vocal about her relationship with her father, and recently claimed he paid money to ensure she was assigned male at birth.
“My assigned s*x at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for,” she wrote on Threads this week.
She went on to suggest that being transgender went “against” what the tech billionaire paid for.
“So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold,” she said.
“That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction,” Vivian continued. “A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.”
She then questioned how this could be legal.
The tech mogul was accused of treating his child’s s*x at birth as a “commodity” he could buy
Lmao, well, Elon's fragile ego has already cracked. He can't handle the Tesla protests, he tried to sway the WI election and failed epically, and now he's considering leaving DOGE, which hasn't done shit.
The reality is, Elon is becoming a liability for Trump and wants him gone. I already predicted this doofus wouldn't last long, I'm just waiting for a bombshell about him and DOGE doing shady shit to really put a nail in this guy’s coffin. I also predict he's going to have to step down from Tesla because there's no way in hell investors are going to sit idle if sales keep plummeting.
