entire point of the "digging." Not that it gets used, but that the dems had used it that much just the year before.
And yes, I think that requires digging to know the specifics. So I still don't get what is funny about the post.

If you go to the cloture votes, that is known as digging for information by the way. It isn't always hard to dig to find data - it simply means you did the work to find it. They didn't call it painstaking digging. They said they dug for it, and it appears they did.

Biden wouldn't have become a politician without Jim Crow (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:31:15

Does that matter if the tool itself is a remnant of racism? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:27:58

Context matters. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:43:33

Kind of like believe all women only applies to - RHAYWORTH MU - 3/29 10:18:33

Please explain how - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:45:47

I'm not questioning that both parties have used it, although - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:49:35

And why is that different outside of the fact you tend to - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:52:27

Sounds like a free society to me (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 09:02:32

This is how all despots through the ages have thought - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:05:02

So, because a party loses an election - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:51:54

You don't draw your conclusions with any sort of thought, - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:53:59

Your real thoughts come through in your posts - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:54:41

Democrats are extremely racist - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:47:15

Here's some context - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:45:23

RE: Did he use it to reinforce Jim Crow policies? Nm - scan MU - 3/29 08:23:48

You get rid of it because no one senator should have veto - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:44:18

So not because it is a tool of Jim Crow racism?(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:46:45

That's certainly when it came to prominence, and it - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:51:11

Ropes have been used for racism - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:54:10

So....only get rid of it if it's used for Jim Crow policies? - dangertim MU

this is almost as bad as your "court packing" take. - dangertim MU

They simply don't care. When Harry Reid set the precedent - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 3/29 08:03:57

The democrats love the filibuster - Sal CMSU - 3/29 08:02:47

Fox News did some digging - meatiger MU - 3/29 08:39:32

dammit meat. - dangertim MU

- 3/29 08:52:26

I know - meatiger MU - 3/29 08:58:23

It clearly did with the narrative being thrown - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:09:17

What were the numbers the Democrats were claiming - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:10:51

I hadn't seen any numbers at all until people looked - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:15:03

And did that change your mind on anything - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:19:38

Now look who's digging (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 09:33:31

I made a flippant comment - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:39:03

We asked you to explain what it meant - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:41:36

He meated out again(nm) - Wildcat KSU - 3/29 09:59:38

Look below - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 10:05:31

No, I never thought the filibuster was racist - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:23:08

I have no problem with it - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:25:01

How were the specific 2020 filibuster numbers reported over - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:21:19

When I see the word "digging" - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:24:20

And here is the proper use of what you posted before - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:39:34

Actually...I enjoyed just digging deeper - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:50:39

No, you screwed up - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 10:38:19

And this is where you get at the intellectual maturity of a - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 10:41:11

meat, you fool no one when you not only get caught making - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 10:04:57

It was not a "master plan" - meatiger MU - 3/29 10:16:38

It is not crazy to ask a poster to explain a post - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 10:17:44

I did explain it - meatiger MU - 3/29 10:27:02

Your explanation was that these specific numbers from 2020 - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 10:28:36

I never said that - meatiger MU - 3/29 10:40:02

The digging was clearly for the 2020 results - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 10:42:03

the hypocrisy was blatant(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/29 10:57:48

Yes, and digging put firm numbers around it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 11:44:23

lol (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:23:28

This is precisely why I spend so much time here(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:40:03

For the record, that would be known as digging(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:16:30

So, media shouldn't do the proper research? - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:46:10

Are you suggesting they're wrong? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/29 08:41:07

Not in the least(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/29 08:57:50

What exactly is funny about that? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:40:57

That required digging? - meatiger MU - 3/29 08:57:37

I am not say your are wrong, but can you provide evidence - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:00:27

I don't follow the numbers - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:04:33

John Roberts never claimed it was hard to find (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:16:49

I had not seen those numbers thrown around - that was the - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:07:08

Did most people fall asleep last year - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:12:15

It's not just about racism, but they are talking about - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:24:35

Not strange at all - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:26:13

Hence the reason Roberts looked into the specific - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:28:15

And what impact did those numbers have? - meatiger MU - 3/29 09:29:11

I never said they had any impact on anything - Sal CMSU - 3/29 09:31:03

No one disputed the dems used it - but I don't believe - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 09:16:01

I don't get it either (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/29 08:41:24

Interesting how the minority party in the Senate uses the - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:17:46

So, you accept the Democrats as being terribly racist? (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:30:43

And now the majority party wants to take it away - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:28:59

lol for f*cks sake(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 3/29 08:23:18

so now we need to get rid of it b/c of past racism - dangertim MU

- 3/29 08:20:23

Well, that's what we would call hypocrisy (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/29 08:18:46
