I say we deport him to Mars.
He has literally said he plans on dying on Mars.
Let's oblige him.

I mean, I agree, but... politics is theatre to a very significant degree, or optics, or perception management, whatever phrase you want to use...
This at least shows that at least some Dems are making a publicized spectactle of resisting...
... As opposed to the old, or possibly still current official Dem talking point memo / strategy of 'Do not become the story.' ... which translates to 'be a collaborator / bend over and take it'.
Fillibustering and doing absolutely everything possible to fuck with the opposition party... is literally exactly what the Republicans did back when the Dems had a trifecta during at least half of Obama's first term.
All the Dems have to do is literally copy that playbook... and Booker here is actually doing it.
Having a functional opposition party that actually looks like it is trying to resist fascists in the government is a pretty important part of an overall societal resistance to fascism.
It is of course not the entirety of a good resistance plan... but...
If your plan does not involve that, well then congrats, you are a terrorist in the eyes of the fascists, hope you have more guns than they do.
Everything is branding, a market demographic.
Sure it's not technically a fillibuster, but if he can go over 24 hrs and 18 minutes, he'll beat Strom Thurmond's... current record holding fillibuster length for... opposing the Civil Rights Act, back in 1957.
Erp.
Well then.

He's done it.
Excellent work Sen. Booker.
Tch tch tch, those damn self combusting, self immolating Teslas.
Someone should probably just ban them all, astoundingly unsafe, especially the cybertrucks.
Ah, the actual 'last possible mate in the world' strategy.
We must procreate for thr human species!
lol
... The Bush era joke is still holding up:
Americans learn geography via which countries they (threaten to) invade.
... I guess it is just fully beyond a joke and is now just completely literally true.
Sorry to hear you're in a similar situation with family, but at the same time, happy to hear your story, to commiserate, to have an impromptu therapy session haha.
Do... do you think...
That a person working... at Walmart...
... has the financial resources...
... to sue Walmart?

I'm in a similar boat as you.
Got my routine 6-7 year CDR packet in the mail... took me 2 weeks of off and on trying to access the site last month to input and submit all the information digitally ... as sending it through snail mail would probably be too slow (10 ish days), I don't have a car and am mobility challeneged.
Now I'm trying to call my local office to make sure they actually got everything but uh wow big surprise, that ain't going well either.
... At least I did get my payment direct deposited.
