Cory Booker is sacrificing himself.

Cory Booker is sacrificing himself.
I worked 60 hours straight once when I was in my 30's, in order to meet a deadline. The majority of this time was spent sitting down, not standing on my feet like Senator Booker is.

During this same general time period, I worked 20 to 30 hours straight several times for the same reason.

These efforts messed me up to some degree permanently.

I am watching Senator Booker on YouTube right now.

I have a feeling he is going to keep pushing, unless he has a pre-determined plan to stop after X number of hours.

I know how he is feeling right now. He is charged up, and he is running on adrenaline. He's not feeling how this is harming his mind and body.

If he goes for another 7 or 8 hours, he's going to start slurring his words, and his muscles are going to start aching, much more than they probably are now.

I might be wrong, but I think he is going to try to push through it. He's making a point. He's sacrificing himself.

I think it's a ******* shame that someone has to go through this to at least try to slow down a madman.

We owe Senator Booker a debt of gratitude.

We have been asking for someone on our side to fight, and he is leading the way.

This is what non-violent fighting looks like.

And it's all to slow down a malignant narcissist.

It's a shame it has to be done in the first place.

Again, I could certainly be wrong, but I think he's going to go until he has to be carried out.

I think that since he's gone this far, he's going to keep going and earn his rightful place in history books.

Babbling his fool head off for 24 or 25 hours to a handful of Capitol staff and Police officers is "sacrificing himself". Try that line on a Gold Star Mom or Dad. Or with a vet who lost a limb to an IED. Or with the widow(er) of a First Responder who lost their life trying to rescue people from the WTC.

Not up on my Shakespeare, was just looking for the "sound and fury" part, but the rest fits as well.  Covers the present DNC as well as the DUmp.

Considering this wasn't actually a filibuster, just speaking isn't that much of an accomplishment except to frothy adoring libs.

Read a few news stories about this, and they often mention Strom Thurmond who had the record. However, they never acknowledge that Thurmond's diatribe was as a DEMOCRAT and he was arguing AGAINST the Civil Rights Amendment.

Chalk that up to things that media ignores and hides from you... :whistling:

Shakespeare was a prophet, and has an infinitely better accuracy record than mal (because dividing by zero).

Cory Booker is just giving his sore star fish some needed rest. Nothing more, nothing less.

Booker called filibuster an 'abuse of power' years before setting Senate speech record

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., condemned the Senate filibuster as an "abuse of power" in 2022, years before his party praised him for launching the "longest filibuster in U.S. Senate history" on Tuesday.

Booker set the record for longest Senate floor speech at 25 hours and 5 minutes after starting to speak at 7 p.m. on Monday. The filibuster has been a deeply controversial tool for the Senate in recent years, with many Democrats condemning the practice during President Joe Biden's administration as Republicans used it to foil his agenda. "The filibuster has been abused to stop reforms supported by the vast majority of Americans—from background checks to protecting the right to vote. We must stop this abuse of power," Booker wrote on X in January 2022.

OK, something funny came out of this debacle.

Oh my God, the fawning praise over there is so sickening.  They should see what normal people are saying on X, though.  Just being draaaged.
