Booker: “I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I’ve been inadequate to the moment. I’ve confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say ‘we will do better.’”

Words are cheap
This guy is a fucking Zionist clown and a stooge for venture capital. I’m old enough to remember when Obama would take shots at Romney in the 2012 election for Romney’s founder status at Bain Capital. Booker, perhaps simply for love of the game, defended Bain Capital for seemingly no reason other than to get pats on the shoulders from Republicans
And what is this doofus doing now? Wagging his finger at Trump for theatrical reasons. This keeps getting called a filibuster but there’s not specific legislation Booker is trying to kill. There’s no bill he’s trying to stop.
All this fire and gusto to stand around while he eagerly votes for bills to send yet another billion dollars to the Zionist Entity. Fuck this guy. I hope he enjoys hell.
Citation needed
To what? Booker’s publicly available voting record?
Translation: I made this up
What did you want them to cite?
You think I made up that Booker is a Zionist? I’ll cite whatever but I don’t understand what I’m being asked to cite.
Wtf. Cite every claim. This is the internet.
Why do you think you wouldn’t need to cite facts here? Gtfo if you think you can spread misinformation
I don’t owe you shit, but here you go: https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/booker-statement-on-israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal
From Cory Booker’s own website in regards to the recent ceasefire:
"The work must continue to achieve a two-state solution that affirms and protects Israel’s right to exist as a democratic Jewish state and ensures the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and a state of their own.”
Israel’s right to exist as a democratic Jewish state
He’s a Zionist. He says right there on his own website that Israel has a right to exist as specifically an ethnonationalist state. That’s what a Zionist is. It’s someone who supports the creation/maintenance of a ethnically/religiously Jewish nation-state in the region of Palestine with Palestinian Arabs either disenfranchised, made a minority, or completely removed. A Zionist supports Israel as a sovereign Jewish homeland with a Jewish identity along with a nation-state apparatus to enforce this status as homeland.

As you see, he’s taken $893,998 from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is a Zionist lobbying group.
Do you want any further citations? Here is an opensecrets.org search for Zionist lobbying money to various politicians. If you are skeptical of opensecrets, it’s used as a unbiased source of information for AP, the Washington Post, Politico, NBC News, NPR, and the New York Times. Opensecrets cites Federal Election Comission data, which is public information.

The first link is sufficient, thanks. He’s a Zionist.
And, you dont owe it to me. You do owe it to this Lemmy community.
the angry sealion is a rare sight but it does exist 🦭
yeah like why is it so unbelievable that I call a Democratic politician a Zionist? Zionism is the official party line. What the fuck
“Hey these Democrats sure do give a lot of money to Israel”
“UHHH SOURCE?”
That would be a helpful source, but that isnt the best because bills are stuffed with so many different things that it could be misleading
Better would be a reputable source that quotes him saying that he supports Zionism.
the literal moment his speech stunt was over, the trump appointment for NATO ambassador was unanimously confirmed with zero resistance. these spineless fucks stand for nothing, it’s all for show. props to Booker for the best April fools day prank I’ve ever seen in my life.
Well come on now, support for NATO is a bipartisan consensus! If anything, it’s now a middle finger to Trump!
He also took the time to praise Israel and defend the genocide during his filibuster.
Fuck right off.
Why are our politicians like this… Anyone with eyes can see it’s evil what’s happening there.
Because we have legalized bribery.
And call it ‘lobbying’
AIPAC
I regret cheering him on now. Fuck this dude.
He also put on a genocide pin and proceeded to preach some biblical Zionism quotes. Usually Democrats stick to the liberal Zionism. Apparently they have moved so far right they identify more with the MAGA crowd now.
It was a loyalty pledge. He put on this performance to get a shot at a leadership position, and he wanted to make it clear to the aipac lobby which side he was on.

The real reason to have a 3 day no pooping challenge.
Shhh we’re not allowed to speculate on the reason for not wanting to poop for 3 days
LOL
Their words are worthless.
Do something meaningful. At minimum, replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, and make it abundantly and publicly clear you did so because of capitulation to fascism.
Cool?
What happens when he needs to take a shit?
He uses a diaper, then sells it online and sends the cash to Israel.
Ew, capitalism. That diaper could have been put to good use as fertilizer instead.
The last record-holder, Strom Thurmond, would shit in a bucket in a coat room while keeping one foot in the Senate chamber and still talking. He was attempting, of course, to filibuster the Civil Rights Act.
oh yeah, biden’s best friend that he gave a euology at his funeral for because he did so much good work for the government
I’m assuming there is no existing audio of the guy speaking out against civil rights while taking a dump? Or at least a transcription of that specific part of his speech so we can imagine at home? It seems like an emblematic moment in American history.
He probably has a diaper and a catheter. The rules don’t let him sit or leave to use the bathroom.
Where was this motion when the continued resolution was on the floor? Fucking clowns.
Honestly the first actual sign of resistance from within the Senate chamber.
Dumbass L*dditor gets amused by jingling keys.
Glad to see the turning of sentiment within the DNC. Perhaps Chuck Schumer got the message that people want him gone and is trying to stay wanted. Or maybe he is worried a third party will galvanize a voting bloc and take money from the Dems.
Ultimately this is a good thing as it shows a fire and regret in the same speech. Finally nice to see democracy start returning to the Democrats.
Perhaps if he wore a bomb vest to the next senate meeting I would consider forgiving him.
If he uses it, same
zionist POS
First Past The post voting is the reason weak candidates run for political office. No competition.
New headline: One of Murica’s leading zionists shits himself publicly during pointless 24 hour talkathon. Booker signs and sells senate diapers to raise money for Israel to kill more Muslims.
