When did that happen? Today they still make a big deal about the Fillibuster. I just always wondered how people pulled it off. Like that one senator who asked his page to read the whole epstein file which was 3000 pages or something. And get paid very very little.
Yeah, they used to just get up and talk. Start reading names from a phone book or whatever. Bernie did an actual fillabuster some years ago and Booker or someone like that did one several months ago, breaking the fucker Strom Thurmond's previous record. Now, with the average age of Congress something like 132, they just feebly stand with their canes and pathetic past-retirement age voices and declare "...filibuster!..." and that does the same thing. These fuckers would rather get back to all their insider trading an grifting than actually have to put the time in.
