Getting rid of a good rule because it’s never been used - what could go wrong?
Democrats still support the business of slavery, just now it’s done overseas and the companies that do it support and donate to the Democrat Party I.e Amazon, Apple, Nike, Disney and more
One second of me looking at the comments section Infinite minutes of controversy
Me, explaining the Zelda timeline.

2:06 Plot twist: A filibuster prevented them from ever getting to the vote
In student government in high school there was to be a vote to remove sodas from the vending machines and a kid ended up pulling a filibuster that lasted til the end of the day lol
I thought it said the 24th longest filibuster in history and thought you all had a 24 episode series
I bet if this guy was a republican you would have mentioned it😉
Learned the lesson the hard way when I talked about Trans rights. Also Trans Rights!

What does that have to do with this
He dehydrated his body so he could be racist. Wtf
I would've just peed in a bottle on the Senate floor while still talking.
HalfAsInteresting: *mentions Jar Jar Binks* Me: Thems Fighten Words
"...which I could say was the grossest thing that ever took place there, but we all know that isn't true." #2021
No matter what he was talking about, it’s still super impressive to be able to keep talking for 24 hours straight without just saying nonsense
Joe Biden gave this mans eulogy
Has anyone seen my sandwich?
Yup, this is my friend explaining Kingdom Hearts to me.
the only problem I have with this video is cooked hamburger meat is called Hamburger.

That was one of the most beautiful days what are you talking about? Are you defending the US govt? How sick of a person must you be? No country in the history of the world has caused more damage to others than the US govt. aww did nancy Pelosi get scared and pee her diapers? Did poor Mitch McConnell have to lock himself in an office like a dog? That’s good! At least they didn’t have their houses, families, friends all bombed for doing nothing, like they have done for years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years to the rest of the world, that would be real karma for those fuckers. I’d bet you would have worn a brown shirt in 1940s Germany.

Ditts. The listing presidential candidates supporters using force to invade the us capital building.... (Someone hit me up for an argument here)
Yes lord jar-jar
In short, a filibuster is an anti democratic way to be anti democratic
It's be easy for me, all I have to do is bring the Minecraft Guidebooks with me.
thank god he got shut down and they passed the law, so in just a few decades the USA could become the wonderful multicultural melting pot of equality it is today!

Aaron burr: **gets mentioned** Me: WAIT FOR IT, WAIT FOR IT- Also listening to a filibuster where they talk about random stuff sounds fun
I misread the thumbnail pic as "the 24th longest filibuster"
Typical racist democrats doing anything to push their racism
People who are filibustering should be called filibusteurs.
Aspiring politician: how do I reach your level? Senator: prioritize! you got a shit bucket? ap: I'm s..sorry...a.. Senator: a shit bucket, if you go take a shit on the toilet, you're not passing laws. If you're in a shit bucket, you can still pass a law.

Was the newly born baby really necessary to put in the video for 10 seconds?
Lol I read the title 24th longest and I was like "HOLY CRAP"
Forgot to mention that he was a Democrat at ths time of the filibuster and then changed parties in 1964.

Filibuster sounds like an elegant and serious tantrum

I mean this would be a pretty good case for removing the filibuster rule, he blatantly tried to prevent the civil rights act, and most agree that the civil rights act was a good thing
3:53 the zodiac killer?
Thurmond was the best senator in American history
Bro I could beat that ezpz! For filibusters, you're allowed to talk about anything, right? Yeah that's fucking nothingggg!
I read this as the *24th* longest filibuster, which I thought was a pretty obscure video topic.
Me explain why Yoshikage Kira is just a normal man who wants to live a quiet life
We finally found the CEO of racism
Interesting you would mention a senator who helped him was a Republican but not mention the fact the senator preforming the act was a Democrat. I mean if you want to have an honest conversation about it you should do that, but by doing what you did it is clear bias, which I would have hoped you would be above.

Buddy, party lines have reversed. I know you’re kinda dumb but you have to know this. Democrats and Republicans have switched ideologies since the fifties and sixties. Also I didn’t even notice that he had mentioned what party that they were from. He kinda just said it in passing, he didn’t mean literally anything bias. I mean are you gonna discredit the whole video because he mentioned the party a guy was in one time? Come on. I am a moderate conservative, and I have no issue about bias in this video.
The US has some weird and unnecessary rules man.
Why did Goldwater help him out when Goldwater voted FOR the Civil Rights Act of 1957? Legit question

Well he’s one of the closest friends to Biden. They also worked together on the 1991 crime bill that incarcerated tons of African Americans for minor crimes.
