I’m guessing some MAGA pushed him.

Also, he’s entirely responsible for the current state of the affairs, so I hope he’s in real fucking pain.

Yep. They’re practicing their defenestration skills with enemies on stairs. Baby steps, as it were.

I hope so, but the reporting I’ve seen is describing it as a “30-hour talkathon.” So apparently it has a planned ending time rather than going on indefinitely. :frowning:

Update:
Per this article that describes what went down apparently old-school filibusters aren’t allowed anymore for presidential nominees after a rule change 12 years ago.

If you can’t stand the heat - resign and let someone who wants to do the job take over.

How many days until they’re openly hurling racist slurs too?

Did they ever stop? Go to any discussion of immigration; almost all the “conservatives” are using slurs like “il----ls.”

“Core Values

The mission of The Citadel is achieved with the focus on the three core values of Honor, Duty, and Respect.

Respect

First and foremost respect means to treat other people with dignity and worth. To treat people the way you want others to treat you. Respect for others eliminates any form of prejudice, discrimination, or harassment. This includes but not limited to rank, position, age, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, physical attributes, etc.”

I guess that’s all bullshit, Nancy?

Her daddy was a general who was commandant of the Citadel when she attended. Nepo baby.

She didn’t earn that distinction on her own - and didn’t face what another woman would have. Every cadet, every professor & every staff member knew her daddy was their boss.
