Lazy fuckers and filibusters
When the Jimmy Stewart character stood, dead on his feet, speaking on a matter of principal, that was a filibuster. Peeing in his pants, going without rest or relief, that was a filibuster. Speaking nearly incoherently for reasons of near exhaustion, that was a filibuster.

Telling Reid you're going to do it while the two of you are standing at adjacent urinals as you start your lunch break, that's no filibuster. That's being a lazy fucker.

1. Yes but the lazyfuckers on OUR side who let the GOPers get away with this are almost as bad.
They are letting the Mitch McConnells of the world turn them into a "do nothing" Congress at no cost to the GOP. We already know the GOP doesn't give a shit about governing, they just want to win elections and get back into power. So why would they stop doing this when it's win-win for them?

3. As O understand it, the Senate rules changed and the fils aren't
done that way anymore. Can't remember where I heard that, but it was a quote from a Senator.
