Wow, I must have stopped watching before he was on it, cuz I had no idea about that and would never have guessed that he ever was. But oh boy, this ought to be good. I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

Well, he proved me wrong. I honestly didn't think he was really going to be able to do it. Shows what little I know about the capability of the human bladder. Pretty sure mine would have given out long ago. Hope this is a sign of things to come and the dems step up their resistance before it gets to be too late.

The report is that he stopped eating on Saturday and stopped drinking on Sunday so that his body would be dehydrated enough for a marathon filibuster. 

You don't need to use the bathroom if there's nothing at all in the tanks.

Illinois Senators Duckworth & Durbin have stepped in to give him breaks, as have others.

It was all an April's Fools joke.

There have been many sads about this.

MEANWHILE IN THE HOUSE 

Quote

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) successfully used an arcane and rarely successful discharge petition procedure to force a vote on Rep. Brittany Pettersen’s (D-Colo.) resolution to allow members who give birth or lawmakers whose spouses give birth to have another member vote for them for 12 weeks.

But amid opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — who has argued that proxy voting is unconstitutional — the leadership-controlled House Rules Committee inserted language into a procedural rule to kill Luna’s effort.

That hardball tactic, however, failed Tuesday when nine Republicans voted with Democrats to torpedo the procedural vote, bringing key legislative action on the floor to a halt. Without adopting a rule, the House is unable to debate and vote on big-ticket legislative items.

Me too. At first I suspected it might be a joke but only because I didn't remember him being on the show. I did a quick search and saw he actually was on it though, so I totally bought it after that.

[1pooh4u]

Wow he held the floor for over 25 hours

Damn, these last 10 years have not been kind to Jon...is he sick. He's aging like me.

[MasqueradeOverture]

Stocks are mooning in the aftermarket with this fuck's incomprehensible babble.

I don't get it. I pray the rug pull is swift and violent.

So are a lot of people who don't look 80. 

I love Jon, but I'm interested so i already looked. He's a smoker, explains it even if he did quit

I still think the only reason he uses tariffs is because he can use them unilaterally.  And with Schumer being the whiny bitch he was, we have to wait two years to possibly get the influence to undo them.

Interestingly, Canada and Mexico were not tarrifed…yet.

Following every aspect of the news and politics in the US for the last decade, even for comedy , is definitely gonna age a person faster than 2 terms as president 🫠😬🫠

49 percent on Cambodia. Yeah, the clothing from sweatshops is such a threat for American industry. 🙄

This is going to cause a new Great Depression.  He wants serfs.

All this so he can give tax breaks to millionaires and MAYBE remove tax on tips. I actually don’t like any of it. Billionaires should pay more in taxes and tips are earnings. If they maybe want to only tax a certain amount or not tax until a certain amount, fine, but no tax at all isn’t right either. 

[Dark_Cloud_Overhead]

It's a poor and middle class tax hike. I hate the word tariff. Just obfuscates what's really going on, which is simply put... class warfare. No matter what language is used though, when people see the rising prices and feel the pain economically, they're gonna know. And the idea that this is to bring manufacturing back... puhlease. That's just to give the media a chance to talk about this and analyze it as if there's some kind of actual strategy at play here, but doing them by country like this in a blanket fashion makes it pretty clear that this is just ultimately another con. It's no wonder they delayed this whole announcement till after the markets closed. Just look at where the dow futures are right no and it's like ruh roh!

Man, he's in his 50s too. I don't know about any other guys here, but since I've turned 40 almost a decade ago now, I've found my need for bathroom breaks have increased. Kudos to him for taking the challenge at 55. 

Still sucks that I was 39 when Trump first became president and will be 51 when he leaves the presidency ... if he does it when he's supposed to.

That was a Tuberville push because Cambodia exports catfish and shrimp and Tuberville has declared himself the Mr. Nimbus of seafoods.

I wonder how these guys are going to fare when the inevitable time Trump is not there comes and all anyone remembers them for is having their mouths placed firmly on his anus with muffled "more sir" over and over?
