Because he knew the left would do it the next time they got the senate. And Mitch McConnell never did it (except for judicial nominees which democrats started first)
Filibuster is not in the constitution, FFS. It is a Senate Rule enacted in 1806, and not used until 1836. It was hardly ever used until the 1970s, when it became the Ds favorite tool to b lock R legislation.
EDIT: And, until the 1970s, Senators had to do an actual filibuster, holding the Senate Floor by talking nonstop, not just threaten it.
That's what pisses me off now about it. If they are going to use a philabuster, then they should have to do it. If you are going to do something that shitty then you gotta earn it. They would used to get up and read cookbooks and dumb shit like that and at some point they just decided they don't have to do that anymore. It's bullshit, like congress.
Yeah and they never ended up doing it except for SCOTUS, and that was only after the republicans warned the dems they would do it for SCOTUS if the dems did it for other judicial nominees.
Clearly they should have fucking done it but whatever, too late now.
Thomas Sowell said this about Obama in his book THE DISMANTLING OF AMERICA:
A community organizer is someone who mobilizes all the resentments of a specific community, in order to put them into battle to get what they want from other people.
BLM founder admits she is herself a “TRAINED COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND TRAINED MARXIST”.
Sowell is a great man and a great thinker and everything I've ever heard from him I agree with 100%.
Remember, when they say "community organizer," they don't mean like Scott Pressler getting people together and cleaning up the neighborhood. Think of what "community" means to them - essentially the proletariat. And what does the proletariat (community) do? It rises up.
3.5 years of silence is absolute bullshit even if they were trying to make a 100% airtight case. I treat anybody that says otherwise as either a useful idiot or a leftist shill.
I won't argue the point because we just don't know what's going on internally at the DOJ, but there have been obvious instances where Obama/Clinton hires and appointees have been subverting and screwing with Barr's efforts - Van Grack is a good one to look at - he stomped off when Barr replaced him and the effort to get the case for dismissal going. Van Grack was the one who got the plea deal for Flynn, and then went back on it, and instead changed the Fed stance that they wanted jail time. Van Grack is the one who withheld evidence from the defense - an issue that should be investigated.
The whole things is vastly complicated. I get that people are frustrated. I get that people are losing faith in Barr - or never had any. But this case is insane, and Trump and Barr and the rest of them have been fighting tooth and nail with NeverTrumpers and Clinton/Obama people from day one, at all levels of the government. The DOJ has as much a problem with that as the FBI.
Maybe I'm wrong - and I hope I'm not, but we're just seeing the flashes and explosions of a political war over the horizon. The infighting and dirty politics over this whole pool of shit from the Mueller report will take multiple volumes like the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire to cover all the moving pieces and dirty shit going on. Whoever convinced Flynn to plead guilty started a shitball that's still rolling downhill. Makes wonder...did someone get to them?
And they pronounce it too. It's pronounced like "Nigeria" but without the "e ah" sound at the end. It would be funny to see if we could meme it into existence that they need to rename their city because "Niger" is too close to the offensive slang for black people. Same with country name Nigeria.
I don't think he really is... It's just that 2020 leftism has long since passed him by, and he wants to stay liked and relevant. Ego massage is his modus operandi.
PR is in no danger of becoming a state. They've held so many non-binding referendums on it, that go nowhere, they got barely 23% of the populace to respond. And, every piece of legislation over it has died in committee - except the last one, it didn't even make it to committee to die.
But the more damning part of his statement that included statehood for DC and PR is restoring voting rights to felons. NO. That is the POINT of felony convictions, you broke the law so badly, you lose your voting privilege.
Overall, he sounds like he's running for office. And using a dead body as his bully pulpit. The man is morally bankrupt.
I know people slam on Trump for talking without a teleprompter but when compared to Biden, Trump seems like Shakespeare. Biden has moments DAILY where he can literally barely string basic thoughts -- not just sentences -- together. Trump talks in a very understandable yet informal way and at least connects ideas together logically most of the time. Biden's mental capabilities have rapidly declined. He'd be a total puppet if he were installed.
Very simply, if either Trump loses or GOP loses the Senate in November, this country is finished for conservatives, permanently.
Unlike the pussy ass RINO GOP, the Democrats will not fuck around and will push their power to the max.
Rand Paul filibustered Obama's illegal war activities. So of course the people who want power over what's left of our constitutional restraints are hostile to this.
You guys convinced me. Obama did irreparable damage to this Country. 2012 was the first election I was eligible to vote in and I didn't vote for Obama, but I didn't think he was a bad guy. I don't see him trying to bridge divides and it pisses me the hell off. He's just like any other Dem pandering to the Disciples.
Sick of hearing from this faggot. I've never known a former President who speaks so much. You never heard a peep out of George Bush after he left office.
It is so unbecoming of the office, stomping on tradition and not having the decorum to gracefully exit public life. This shouldn't be a surprise, however. Remember his presidential portrait? His ego is bigger and much more fragile than Trump's.
What better time than a funeral for a former president to accuse a sitting president of attacking "peaceful" protestors that are clearly, obviously, and demonstrably NOT peaceful? And if you're gonna do that, might as well throw in a side of "let's get rid of the filibuster...".
Longest ever fillibuster was a dem trying to stop the civil rights act
No wonder they want to destroy the filibuster. They hope to also destroy the history of the filibuster
Did he call for it at a funeral?
Does grandstanding at a funeral count as filibustering a funeral?
Yeah but it was a black guys funeral... so it's like a black on black crime, and that doesn't matter.
Eliminating "The Filibuster"
.. That's what he calls it when Big Mike goes in Dry.
Funerals of black people the establishment wishes to politicize will become the new filibuster.
KEK
No one asked to reclaim their time, so I guess it's fine.
Natural instinct kicked-in when they gave him the podium.
Because he knew the left would do it the next time they got the senate. And Mitch McConnell never did it (except for judicial nominees which democrats started first)
I'm not sure if I follow the logic. We know the Left wants to destroy the constitution, so we destroy it first?
Filibuster is not in the constitution, FFS. It is a Senate Rule enacted in 1806, and not used until 1836. It was hardly ever used until the 1970s, when it became the Ds favorite tool to b lock R legislation.

Agreed.
So are you in favor or against the filibuster?
Yeah and they never ended up doing it except for SCOTUS, and that was only after the republicans warned the dems they would do it for SCOTUS if the dems did it for other judicial nominees.
Clearly they should have fucking done it but whatever, too late now.
Yea, I don’t understand why we are suddenly pro-fillibuster. It’s destroying our country. Fuck the fillibuster rule, it was never intended to exist.
It was a few people. Al Gore's dad was another.
Robert Byrd, did not renounce the KKK until he was on his death bed
I am waiting for them to unplug the system because they cannot cheat to win.
That’s coming in November. All assets are deployed. Stand strong pede. We win this.
ROBERT BYRD
Fun fact: Strom Thurmond (D-SC) had the longest filibuster at 24hrs, 18mins, in OPPOSITION to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Funner fact: Strom Thurmond (D-SC) was preceded and succeeded multiple times in office by Robert Byrd, former KKK member

Very well said.
Means someone twisting arms to vote for the right candidate.
Basically a narcissist and manipulator.
Thanks for this!
Who Susan Lisa Rosenberg?
I pray for a President Trump win in 2020, then we will hopefully see the final gutting of the deep state. If we lose, may god help us all.
Their backup plan is to assasinate and the wipe off the Trump family of the face of the planet, just like they wiped out the Kennedy family
No I will not rely on god. We are Americans and we fight for what is right. Stand up take charge of a revolution is needed then give them one
Change My Mind: Barr is ALL TALK NO ACTION.
Do not mistake silence for inaction.
3.5 years of silence is absolute bullshit even if they were trying to make a 100% airtight case. I treat anybody that says otherwise as either a useful idiot or a leftist shill.
Ok buddy

These things take time!
what a fucking scumbag
He wants to destroy America. It was always his plan
"fundamentally transforming the United States of America"
Zero's own words.
"The US Constitution is a fundamentally flawed document"
Let's be real: I am sure Lewis would have been proud to have his funeral be a political prop to further the far-left agenda.
So I guess someone that might have given a clue to Obama's sealed records is finally dead. 🤔
Obama's furious that Trump fucked his legacy

Niger please!
Sorry. I Congo there with you.
I'm Madagascar, and I'm not going to take it anymore!
Can't Malawi get along?
We'll form a delegate. I can't send a guy but could Senegal.
The hard R how spicy
And they pronounce it too. It's pronounced like "Nigeria" but without the "e ah" sound at the end. It would be funny to see if we could meme it into existence that they need to rename their city because "Niger" is too close to the offensive slang for black people. Same with country name Nigeria.
ha, well people were convinced that the "ok" sign was a hate symbol so anything is possible I guess.
I Angola-ie
KEK!

- zerobama
He always was. He just pretended not to be so he could fool moderates like myself back in 2008 to vote for him.
He is a disgusting communist scum bag.
Obama is not #1. #2 at best
Soros is #1.
For all his bravado, Obama is still nothing more than a Soros puppet. An effective and powerful one, but a puppet none the less.
and They’re all under satan
Well well well look who didn't need an Obamaphone. WTF, were you working or some lame shit like that ;) ?
I'm pretty sure election fraud and other fuckery is what actually re-elected the fucking scumbag.
Pretty sure the demonrats used that "pied piper" strategy to help Romney win the nomination. Isn't that also election interference?
I wonder how long they've been doing that.
I don't think he really is... It's just that 2020 leftism has long since passed him by, and he wants to stay liked and relevant. Ego massage is his modus operandi.
Even Obama? ... ... ...
lmao
The gospel of greed
Cheering at a funeral is strange
demonrats are strange people, matches up
It takes my breath away. ~St George 2020
bizarre
Maybe we can use Herman Cain's funeral to call for the elimination of communists.
Someone else else hot up and was talking about getting out to vote. Unreal
the dims are scared and will use avenue to beg, borrow, or steal the upcoming election
Filibustering a funeral to promote eliminating the filibuster.
Typical demonrat behavior
Yep. Another Democrat shitshow.
I'm very happy to see that my chosen name for them seems to be sticking.
He's also advocating for making Washington DC & Puerto Rico into States.
All States get 2 US Senators.
Gee, I wonder which party they'll vote for.

They have most of the benefits of statehood without paying federal income tax. I think the citizens are keenly aware of that.
Very simply, if either Trump loses or GOP loses the Senate in November, this country is finished for conservatives, permanently. Unlike the pussy ass RINO GOP, the Democrats will not fuck around and will push their power to the max.
Of course, shows he never cared for Lewis, just the politics.
But honestly, who cares about Lewis anyway.
To be honest, most people thought he was already dead.
IKR, he's a dead ringer for Elijah Cummings.
The filibuster???
No respect
Rand Paul filibustered Obama's illegal war activities. So of course the people who want power over what's left of our constitutional restraints are hostile to this.
I can see his vagina from here. Open up Obummer, here comes the Gimp!
And by Gimp, you mean Big Mike's huge cock.
Yes that 👆🏽
Barry agitatin'. The grand racist, at large, pushing to end minority rights. Again.

Stay Strong in learning Youngpede!
He was and is the "Great Divider" AKA the "Divider in Chief". Race relations turned back decades by the time this asshole left office.
hahahahahahaha
His whole speech he was a fucking cunt today... Fuck Barry
Sick of hearing from this faggot. I've never known a former President who speaks so much. You never heard a peep out of George Bush after he left office.
George pops up every once in a while to say Orange Man Bad.
Gotta stick to the script like a good neocon before he gets suicided
It is so unbecoming of the office, stomping on tradition and not having the decorum to gracefully exit public life. This shouldn't be a surprise, however. Remember his presidential portrait? His ego is bigger and much more fragile than Trump's.
Sick move Obama. Such high class!! Right? The "we go high" crew most be so happy with your performance today!!
Well at least they're finally openly admitting they'll nuke the filibuster if they cheat and win so they can pass all the garbage they want.
Might be useful to use it so we can get campaign ads with it.
The Kenchurian Candidate . . .
What better time than a funeral for a former president to accuse a sitting president of attacking "peaceful" protestors that are clearly, obviously, and demonstrably NOT peaceful? And if you're gonna do that, might as well throw in a side of "let's get rid of the filibuster...".
TRUTH!
They really think they are going to be running this country this January.
good fucking luck with that
They must think the fix is in. Fuck these bitches.
is this for real? Why is Obama in politics after his “presidency”?
Excuse me, that's "scandal-free presidency", bigot.
Obama stood on top of John Lewis’ coffin to declare war on half of America. That’s what ending the filibuster represents.
Obama stood on top of John Lewis’ coffin to declare war on half of America
more than half Fellow Pede . . . WE are the silent majority*
No it’s not Presidential candidate BIDEN giving that shit speech... it’s the ex worst presidents ever doing it. Fuck the democRATS!! Fuck obama!!!!
Why is a term-limited former President still heavily involved in politics?
Oh right, his chosen successor lost the race.
Fuck off, Barry. Nobody asked for your opinion on anything.
Amen
🤡🌎
President Trump has nominees yet to be seated in their jobs and he is almost at end of his first term.
Somebody is filibustering..
Tucker just called him one of the sleaziest politicians in American history. I agree wholeheartedly.
