The Dems' strategy for standing up to Trump? Why, filibustering without there being any active legislation up for a vote! (www.npr.org)

Cory Booker has been filibustering for a while, but there's no legislation that he's stalling.

It is however precedent. If hexbear helps me get elected to the senate, I pledge to shit in a bucket on the floor every day. I will put John Fetterman to shame.

you'll need a massive bucket and a very strict diet

String cheese and malt liquor. Nothing else for my entire term.

edit: Actually the US Senate cafeteria menu isn't bad. I'll do that for lunch but otherwise only consume string cheese and malt liquor.

Finally an honest politician who stands by his campaign promises

I didn't say I'll be an honest politician, just one who shits in a bucket and makes the rest of the senate endure that every time it's in session. Otherwise I'll be a very corrupt politician.
