Cory Booker puting the Drake/Kendrick beef to shame by talking shyt about Trump on the Senate floor for 15 straight hours and he's still going

[Braman]

Why?

Booker is such an odd dude

He ain't doing shyt though.

And this is exactly why I said…

Only Dems have to cater to a pool of potential constituents in a political arena, where the constituents are inherently A-political. A straight up trick bag.

Yall default setting is . Pretending there’s a special elixir to win you over. It ain’t.

 

[Ryze]

Lol @ capping it at 25 hours. I bet he's the type of guy to do an extra rep even when he's hit his limit.

 

[lib123]

Democrats need to do more of this.




Legend. He might be top of the list of Dem Prez candidates now.

Are y’all serious? A never married Black man with no children and questions about his sexuality at the top of the list? Personally I don’t care about any of that, but y’all haven’t learned from the Kamala loss?

Breh sometimes i feel like we are in a simulation
How else do you explain trump being president not once but twice....

If I would made a thread 10 years ago saying trump would be president twice I would have been run off the board

I can somewhat give a "pass" to the people who voted for Trump in 2016. People thought it would be Pence running things and Trump would just golf and tweet. There's absolutely no reason people should have voted for him again in 2020 and ESPECIALLY in 2024 after January 6th, getting convicted, etc.

I didn't know this was even going on until this afternoon, props to that man

And fukk Strom Thurmond as a cac, segregationist, and a klansman

 

[Buddy]

In typical fashion, it took a Black American to take a stand and steer the moral compass of this country

The simulation is living in coastal or major metro areas. If you interact with non college-educated cacs across Middle America, Trump getting elected twice isn’t really that surprising. Combine that with millions of people disillusioned with both sides and here we are.

 

[richaveli83]

I'm surprised a board of mostly 30 and 40 somethings don't know these things. Or maybe disappointed.

I thought Strom Thurmond having a secret black daughter was well known for like the last twenty years since he died. I guess not.

I said might. But seeing as he's the Dem, if not the only Dem, that literally stood up to Trump and the GOP. That's gonna carry a lot of currency as of right now.

 

[Black]

Booker can't run in 28 can't have another gillum on a bigger scale.

 

[jerniebert]

I like how democrats can't run so and so because of whatever bullshyt reason but Republicans can run a known racist pedophile piece of shyt. Then people act like the democrats need to do better.

I think people overestimate Republican strength. They don't have the benefit of running as an opposition party this time around.

I don’t think so. Wealthy donors aren’t gambling like that after Kamala. Booker’s ceiling is VP.

 

[Tair]

Corey Booker is up there as a person I think should run for president in 2028. He'd be wayyyy better than that fukk boy, Gavin Newsom.

Remember when Cory Booker made up a fake story about his drug dealer friend name T-Bone:

Remember 'T-Bone,' Cory Booker's Imaginary Drug Dealer Friend?

The New Jersey senator is a friend of criminal justice reform, but his best friend might steal the spotlight.

Sen. Cory Booker's (D–N.J.) announcement today that he'll seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president prompted various political analysts to publish pieces pondering what his chances are. As Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown noted this morning, Booker's strengths include his strong support for criminal justice reform. Plus, he's already called for weed legalization nationwide.

But Booker's chances will no doubt be hurt by his penchant for grandstanding and embellishing the truth for rhetorical purposes. Take, for instance, his many references to "T-Bone," a drug dealer who Booker claimed to have been friends with. Various critics have questioned whether T-Bone is actually a real person, and Booker has never really provided a definitive response.

Booker was talking about T-Bone at least as far back as 2000, when he gave an interview to Stanford Magazine. (Booker is a Stanford graduate.) "I still remember my first month on the street," Booker said, referring to the time in 1995 when he moved to a dangerous neighborhood in Newark. "I walked up to this charismatic black guy my age called T-Bone, who was one of the drug lords. I just said, 'Yo, man, wha's up?' And he leaped in front of me, looked me right in the eye and said, 'Who the blank do you think you are? If you ever so much as look at me again, I'm going to put a cap in your ass.'"

T-Bone then became a regular in Booker's anecdotes. "I said hello to this guy and I'll never forget he leaped off the steps where he was standing and looked at me and threatened my life," Booker said during a speech at The New School in New York in 2007, not long after he was elected mayor of Newark, according to the New Jersey Star-Ledger. "I later got to know this guy and his name was T-Bone and I'm a vegetarian so that was a particularly vicious threat.
