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.’”

    Honestly the first actual sign of resistance from within the Senate chamber.

        He stopped a full day of business in the Senate. I’ve never been a huge Booker fan but I gotta admit, not only is it a pretty impressive feat but this is exactly the kind of thing we need from them right now.

          No, we need their party to stop bombing Palestinian civilians. In no way is booker, who is a staunch zionist, promising to change that.

        Credit should be given where due: Sen. Booker is about to make history in less than an hour, breaking the record for the longest filibuster in US history.

        Edit: He did it! Now it’s on every American and person around the world to resist the Trump administration.

            Booker is a staunch zionist. He should be in prison for supporting the killing of Palestinians.

                  You don’t think it’s better that the country with most powerful military and bases all over the world doesn’t fall to fascism before Israel?

                  Even if you don’t live in America it seems pretty obvious that is, in fact, better

                    The point was that the USA is already fascist when it come to the Palestinians, and Booker is in full support of that, so now, i don’t see how its “obviously better” that Corey Booker wants to do the Holocaust, but only on foreigners.
