President Joe Biden declared on Tuesday he was 'tired of being quiet' on voting rights and demanded the Senate kill the filibuster in order to pass federal legislation.
In a fiery speech in Atlanta, given in the courtyard of four historically black colleges, Biden defended his past action on voting rights amid a boycott from local civil rights leaders who are frustrated with the lack of action from his administration.
He attacked Donald Trump by name and called out Republicans for passing 'anti-voting' laws in states around the country. And he denounced the January 6th insurrection in the Capitol as a 'coup.'
'I have been having these quiet conversations with members of Congress for the last two months,' Biden said of his work on voting rights. And then he slammed the podium as the crowd cheered, declaring: 'I'm tired of being quiet!'
And he attacked the Senate, an institute he served in for 36 years.
'Sadly, the United States Senate designed to be the world's greatest deliberative body, has been rendered a shell of its former self,' he said.
He called on the Senate to change its rules to bypass the 60-vote threshold needed to advance two voting bills. Republicans are in opposition to such a move and two Democratic senators, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, are also leery of doing so.
'I believe the threat to democracy is so great that we must find a way to pass these voting rights bills. Debate them, vote, let the majority prevail. And at that very minute it was blocked, we had no option but to change the Senate rules, including getting rid of the filibuster for this,' Biden said.
The crowd of a few hundred burst into applause at his words.

The rantings of a mushbrain puppeteered by America-hating fascists. Kick him in the teeth a few times. That should shut him up. I have no interest in listening to rants or lies.
The democrats just want to make it easier for them to cheat and be in power forever.
He knows the jig about to be up.
It’s so freaking easy:
1. END THE DAMN MANDATES! which are pissing everyone off all the time
2. Stop giving away money to lazy losers! You are making it impossible to find workers for many low-level jobs.
3. Stop talking about Jan 6th. NO ONE CARES
4. Ditch “woke” culture. It’s an anchor around your neck.
5. Open the valve on oil! Your stupid restrictions on pipelines and drilling are driving up the cost of everything.
6. Hands off the schools! Parents are mad as hell the government is screwing with their kids education and that schools are being closed and their kids left behind.
7. Go after big tech tyranny. Americans are repulsed by the idea of freedom of speech being restricted. It’s past time we pass legislation to limit techs ability to censure free speech and that some of these giant companies are broken up.
He must have lost a fortune in lunch money when he was a kid. Most guys his age grow out of the tough guy facade, but he still needs to show he isn’t a wuss at heart.
President Retard is admitting they cheat by opposing voting integrity laws 🤪
He’s too stupid to even know it.
Because it WAS a coup, but it happened a couple months prior.
The RCV provisions that were in HR1 are in this one, too...
He has one job... Read the teleprompter.
He can’t even get that right.
Republicans want to stop people voting.
DEAD PEOPLE !!!
I’ll bite:
So nuke the filibuster... Great.
Then - if somehow the GOP ever regains the majority... these dumb dimbocraps won’t have anything to even pretend to stop them with.
(of course, the Republican Party is so stupid - they probably wouldn’t even realize they could railroad anything through...)
Moron.
I also say kill the filibuster. And when the GOP wins back the Senate (and hopefully dumps McConnell as leader) they can shove MAGA down the Dems throats.
Dead moron Harry Reid (rot in hell) busted the filibuster for judges and it big the Dems in the ass.
***Did he use his shoe? ***
Many of the youngsters will not understand your meaning. We oldsters get it.

“Nikita Khrushchev’s shoe-banging incident occurred during the 902nd Plenary Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly held in New York in 1960.”
It was a coup Joe ?
Little late for a confession but we will take it !
And put it with your other confession
” we’ve put together the most extensive voter fraud organization in history” iirc.
( trumps not in the Oval office, so a coup means you committed one moron. )
The world laughs and cringes in one motion.
Doesn’t surprise me. Democrats can’t figure out what bathroom to use.
A poor showing considering the 81 million votes. Even Stacyzilla didn't show. I guess no one is real interested in watching some demented old pervert yell at the clouds. FJB, they said privately.
I was only 15 back then but I remember it well.
