December 10, 201015 yr Bernie Sanders has been reaming out the government (FOR OVER SEVEN HOURS) because of Obama's plan to give tax breaks to the rich, it's absolutely amazing to watch watch live streaminghttp://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN2.aspx Also, he went after lobbyists, comcast, CEOs, [bleep]ing everyone

December 10, 201015 yr Author Sanders did not have an end time planned, according to one of his aides, who warned the senators staff had prepared a stack of letters and speeches for him to read that was several inches thick. However, Sanders is not allowed to sit down or leave the floor even to use the restroom although he did take a quick break to take questions from Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown.But while Sanders may be in it for the long haul, apparently the Senate video servers were not. In the fifth hour of his filibuster speech, Sanderss office reported that the Senate video servers had shut down after more than 12,000 people tried to tune in to his speech on their website. From his video speech""Our job here, it's a radical idea, I know, I admit it, is to represent the vast majority of Americans and not the top 2%""

December 10, 201015 yr Author What time do they close up shop tonight? Haha, whenever someone calls for it to be adjourned I think. Then it continues from 10:30 AM tomorrow :thumbsup: The call for adjournment is the highest priority, someone will just call for a point of privilege, and ask that they adjourn for the night because blah blah blah AlsoAlso for those amazed at him staying on topic, he technically has too. As soon as he gets off topic he can be ruled out of order by the Chair/President pro tempore. Usually what happens with the phone book is they will say something like "Does this body even know who this legislation will impact? No, they don't, well here's who it will hurt:" and then they read a bunch of names. You can't just talk about whatever [cabbage] you want.
December 10, 201015 yr You gotta love a good filibuster. It always reminds me of Mr. Smith goes to Washington. :rolleyes: A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.
December 10, 201015 yr Author A 69 year old man has not only filibustered consistently for 8 hours without food or bathroom breaks - he has done so without sitting down.
December 10, 201015 yr A 69 year old man has not only filibustered consistently for 8 hours without food or bathroom breaks - he has done so without sitting down.Poor guy. Must care a lot about it :P "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
December 10, 201015 yr Go Bernie! Edit: Listening to him while I play RS. This is awesome. :shades: ^ Blog.
December 10, 201015 yr Listened to it for a bit. Didn't hear a word of it. I don't think he's really saying anything interesting or important. He's talking about his parents now.

He's talking about his parents now.What's not interesting and important? J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé
December 10, 201015 yr Guys, if Dupin doesn't find it interesting, don't pester him and force him to keep listening. Let him do what he wants. I'm enjoying the 20 minutes that I've heard so far, even though I've heard the facts before. ^ Blog.

December 10, 201015 yr I don't know how I'm interested by this at all. I don't like politics but this just entertains me.
December 11, 201015 yr the conclusion could have been much stronger. he was probably tired though [size="5"][font="Georgia"][b]Staking:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#FFFF00"][/color][color="#00FF00"] 4+ mil[/color][/font] [font="Georgia"][b]Current Status:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#0000FF"] Training defense [/color][/font][/size]
December 11, 201015 yr Now he should never talk again, those would be some famous-ass last words. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!
December 11, 201015 yr Author Now he should never talk again, those would be some famous-ass last words. Or he should have kept talking until he died of exhaustion. No way people would have been able to ignore it then

I'm just asking, even if you are a playboy girl, you ought to interested in your future if you are American (and globally as well).I am interested in politics. What I heard was rambling. He may have made real points later, but this was a political gesture, not an actual argument. Also, if this is the Senate, I'm pretty sure he has no audience (or a small one) in the chambers. Regardless, it's a shameful tactic and I think it shouldn't be encouraged, no matter what the topic. Look at it this way: If someone got up there and preached about how we should hang anyone who doesn't go to a Christian church once a week for seven hours, you would say it's a waste of government time. He can't seriously have so much to say that he can't clear up his points in an hour. Sure, it takes effort, especially for an old man, but should he really be wasting effort on it?
December 11, 201015 yr That's why we have cloture. If they don't want to listen to a bunch more of this, albeit not as impressive, those who want it passed should start trying to get 3/5 of the senate on board. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp

No one would pay attention to his speech if it were so short, sad thing is I doubt anyone will anyways
December 11, 201015 yr I'd pay a lot of money to be able to witness that, while sipping on a jumbo slurpee. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪
December 11, 201015 yr What the dems don't realize is that while this isn't the best deal, its a hell of a lot better than what they're going to get in January. But you have to give the man prop.
