Cory Booker's marathon speech

[caffeinated_sloth@lemmy.world]

Is there a urinal at the podium or is he just peeing himself like a formula 1 racing driver?

Mr. Booker went to Washington and kicked some damn ass! Jimmy Stewart would be proud.

25 hours and 5 minutes

Thank you for the clarification. The wiki article reads as if it was a 1 hour 5 minute speech. I was very confused.

Peeing yourself is what elite people do. Like astronauts.

[disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world]

Diapers or catheters are used by some.

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

I have mixed feelings but if he's peeing himself I am 100% behind him.

[transtronaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Absolutely. You wouldn't want to be in front.

[cm0002@lemmy.world]

Is he still going‽ What's the record??

[sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works]

Not just the elite

This is great, thanks!

[crank0271@lemmy.world]

Sure, but Booker is half their age.

[serinus@lemmy.world]

He stopped eating on Friday. Stopped drinking water on Sunday.

The United States Senate does not limit debate unless limits have been imposed

Well thanks, that clears it up.

I wish we could get this kind of drive and fortitude when it comes to actually passing legislation that benefits anyone other than the 1%, but nope. Too much to ask. Mr. Booker only has this in him when it means getting a lot of free publicity and accomplishing nothing else.
