So fitting that a black, Democractic senator broke that racist piece of trash’s record. Congrats to Booker!
Finally some good fucking news
In 2020, I thought that Democrats could filibuster the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett, each speaking out against it for 24 hours. Of course, SCOTUS nominations weren’t up for filibuster, which I didn’t know then.
E: Redditors are always offended when someone asks a question.
Make him senate minority leader then make him the senate majority leader. This must happen
Do the other senators sit there and listen all this time?
Huh. Good for him.
Edit: Wait, have the other members of Congress been allowed to leave, or have they just been stuck there the whole time?
Thank you King
Glad he beat out that old racist bastard.
Strom Thurmond was a racist piece of shit, and it’s fitting that Cory Booker was the one to take his record.
Can’t talk now the floor is BOOKED!
Just ended. Very moving conclusion. Just tune into the last 10 minutes and you’ll have watched the speech of a lifetime.
Thurmond got a bathroom break after 3 hours. Booker just blew his old racist ass out of the water.
Hell yeah!!! Hopefully they all start doing it! Take his lead and let this be a movement!
So, we all know Trump is going to instruct a white senator to beat the record, correct?
goat
Bro!!! Fuck I’m happy he’s here.
Respect, from Jersey. Thank you for your service Booker
Hot damn
Lwts be honest about the Democrats… They don’t have too many stars and Booker is one of the few.
Love them or hate them the Republicans have NAMES. You can call them bullies if you want, but you still know their names and their supporters come out to vote.
Democrats need more faces that they can get behind.
It’s great that he broke Thurman’s record but let’s not lose sight of why he’s going it. Fuck trump, fuck melon, fuck all the fuckery they’ve been doing. If you want to know why just listen to Cory.
He was just going for it man. Wish some others would start going for it. Time for another call to my congress person. Bravo my friend, bravo.
What did he stop?
I just hope that this is the start and not the end of what the democrats will do, and it should have been done a while ago. Its cool and all but its performative and we need real change
Did he get into a Marvel/Star Wars crossover?
He is a LEGEND. Well done, Senator Booker!
Honestly, respect.
I like him a whole lot more than the weasel Schumer.
This is a leaderboard/high score, not.a cheevo.
Oh fuck! He did it! I thought he only went for 21 hours, but he actually beat the son of a bitch! Yes!
So when hes done Trump is impeached for real right or does nothing happen when he is done? Oh the corruption ends, right?
Good on him. Need more people doing this.
You know, I’m going to get downvoted for this I’m sure, but it feels like too little too late. Six months ago everyone saw the US flying towards a cliff at break neck speed and the Dems did the Dem thing and sat there on their hands playing nice. Now that we’ve flown over the cliff and are soaring to an impending disaster of a crash they are running around the bus flailing and screaming “we gotta stop this bus!” No shit? I’m just gonna wait for them to fuck over another Bernie or AOC and miss the mark again.
+1
Props to him, excluding sleep I don’t know how he could go without a bathroom break for over 25 hours. Respect.
Ok.. I’m impressed. I thought when I saw him advertising his, “long speech,” on YouTube, it was just him giving an impassioned speech about something we all care about, but which amounts to nothing more than a speech.
Doing THIS to the Republicans?! And killing the record of a racist?! And setting a standard for democrats?? Dude’s impressive. The other Democrat senators need to step up…
Might still be too little, too late. But, that’s a senator showing he’s willing to fight, in a time we need it
From a smiley to a frown,
From Biden to a clown,
Trump is letting America down,
He’s letting us drown,
And the Democrats make no sound,
They sit in their saddle,
Holding up their paddle,
While Trump slaughters us,
As if we were his cattle.
This is what democrats should be doing. It’s worth noting that the previous record was held by Strom Thurmond, who was trying to filibuster the Civil Rights Act and strongly opposed individuals like Cory Booker receiving equal rights.
I love that he didn’t just tap out once Chuck announced he beat the record. He kept talking til he hit hour 25 (and 5 minutes)! With how spineless the Republicans are, I don’t think they’ll be breaking that record anytime soon.
strom thurman…. Now that’s a turd I haven’t thought about since it got flushed down all these years ago. Fuck him.

Yes! LOVE THIS
I hope everyone has a chance to watch at least a little bit of this. It’s been a remarkable speech.
I don’t always agree with the man, he is a vegan after all, but mad respect for doing this.

He just keeps going and going!
What’s the point?
