Of course the left falsely ties this to race - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:29:50

It’s almost as if they’re obsessed with skin color. Oh wait - hokie VT - 3/29 08:28:22

Did he use it to reinforce Jim Crow policies? Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:14:58

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

Yes, I don't want it used to suppress civil rights. Remember - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:56:07

Please post a link - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 09:01:19

So any tool that can be used for any reason you deem to be - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:57:10

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

- 3/29 08:19:20

You were comparing Biden to.Jim Crow because he used - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:24:57

RE: You were comparing Biden to.Jim Crow because he used - BH O'bonga MU - 3/29 08:38:28

If you don't vote for him, you're not black - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:48:22

so you've always held this position? Do you care to - dangertim MU

- 3/29 08:29:54

You use all.the tools available to you under the rules. I'm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:46:05

So instead of abolishing racism - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/29 08:49:32

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

- 3/29 08:49:06

And then you support when you get into power - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/29 08:47:26

RE: so you've always held this position? Do you care to - scan MU - 3/29 08:32:47

No one senator does(nm) - tman MU - 3/29 08:27:09

Excuse me, those are now jim eagle policies. Nm - hokie VT - 3/29 08:19:06

What Jim Crow policies has the GOP used it for - Sal CMSU - 3/29 08:17:08

Blocking the civil rights bills in the 50s and 60s; to be - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/29 08:22:52

HR1 and HR4 aren't Jim Crow era policies - Sal CMSU - 3/29 08:26:37

RE: If Biden truly believes the filibuster is a legacy of - scan MU - 3/29 08:07:14

The reason it should have been asked, is - hokie VT - 3/29 08:18:06

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

No, I never thought the filibuster was racist
