It’s a competitive category, but Senator Cory Booker, DN.J. may be the perfect personification of the full political impotence of today’s Democrats.
On Monday and Tuesday, Senator Spartacus got on the senator’s floor and spoke for more than 24 hours on a filibuster that could come out of the film.

In fact, it came out of the film. “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” and Jimmy Stewart played the senator giving a marathon speech that came out 85 years ago.
That’s how Booker’s performance nonsense felt this week.
A further precedent for Talk-a-Thon came from separatist Sen. Stom Thurmond, who was destroyed by the long-splitting booker in 1957.

For those paying attention, and frankly, it was probably a very small number of people, so why is the question while the Booker was full? Has this Diatribe had any purpose or was it a political Tiktok challenge in nature?
Call it lazy if you want. However, in preparing this column, I didn’t actually see or read all of Babblin’ Booker’s comments for the 25-hour period. If there were five people in the world, I would be shocked.
From the highlights, so to speak, we see mostly the Trump administration’s declaration of frail arms and crazy eyes that it is “not normal,” and the strange confession that may have been the most prominent moment of the performance.

“I confess I was incomplete,” Booker was strictly intounted. “I confess that I was inadequate in that moment, and that I confess that the Democrats made the terrible mistake that laneed this demagogue.
Two things stand out here. One is his rhetoric religion. He may almost always be on the mass, throbbing his chest three times when he speaks. The other is the idea that extraordinary steps must be taken to stop Trump.
Even the use of the filibuster itself betrayed this. After all, a while ago, Democrats argued that this old-fashioned Senate procedure was racist and had to be abolished.

Apart from workplace situational ethics regarding filibusters being racist or not, the more dangerous aspect of this is Booker’s claim that our country faces some dire dangers in the form of Trump that even in “non-traditional” ways it has to thwart.
Booker, importantly, did not appear as a fundamental fire-breathing thing. As mayor of Newark, New Jersey, he was considered a centricist. At the time, he made a goofy YouTube video with former Republican Governor Chris Christie.
This change occurred, except for the president’s almost certain second run, when President Donald Trump decided that it was a very existential threat to America, everything that exists, that he could not work and that he had to be politically destroyed.
This attitude towards that face rejects the will of voters who have taken Trump into office, but it also ignores millions of Americans who didn’t vote for Trump, but still hope Democrats will work with him to work with him to solve the problem, continuing to scream for another four years.
The reason why we see today’s old-fashioned protests, with the usual songs of the struggle of the ’60s, is the same reason Booker ripped this cheesy filibuster page out of an ancient Hollywood playbook.

Democrats are trying to evoke emotion from the use of these old, symbolic forms, but the problem is that Jimmy Stewart’s iconic film speech and Joan Baez’s song were authentic representations of their time. Today there is no life in those forms. They are simply empty shells.
Perhaps the Democrats are reaping what they were sooed. Perhaps when we spend our time demolishing traditions, defeating statues, and cutting off connections with our own past, progressives have nothing to do, so that symbols of the past lose all their power.

Sorry, Senator Booker, your record speech was neither brave nor inspiring.
Performance stunt time is over. It’s time to work with President Trump to help all Americans stay on hand.
