I doubt MLK would want Marxist RATs winning EVERY ELECTION. Besides, King is dead. He doesn’t know anyone “dishonored” him by shutting down the Little Johnny Lewis Voter Fraud Act.

Pelosi judges people by the content of their character?

Pelosi Says Upholding Filibuster ‘Dishonors’ MLK

The only person who dishonored MLK, was MLK himself.

King’s “content of character” speech was made purely for white consumption. It is because of the content of HIS character, that he is the only person in which the government, the MSM, and Hollywood, will not allow to be judged by the “content of his character”.

Yeah, it is in the Constitution. Here:

Article 1, Section 5:

“Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.”

It comes under the power of each house to determine the Rules of its Proceedings.

The Senate can have, modify, or remove the filibuster rule of proceeding at its own determination. The House of Representatives has no say in the matter.

Pelosi and Schumer and democrats (not Biden, because, he doesn’t know what’s going on anyway), all are fearful of the upcoming tsunami that’s going to make democrats irrelevant in this year’s elections and for years to come.

Which is why they need the filibuster gone so that they can nationalize elections and make them the only party to be elected in perpetuity in the U.S., through eternal election fraud. Who’s going to question the party in power when they would hold all power?

Whatever. I’m tired of MLK. If I hear “content of their character” one more time, I’ll scream.

It infuriates me how these puke bag, scum of the earth Dems can say virtually anything, regardless of how stupid it is, how irrelevant, and the media reports as if it’s wisdom from the heavens.

The public has become so freaking stupid that the endless claims of racism, and pleads for equity, (not equality), are taken seriously.

MLK opposed abortion and thought it was wrong to treat anyone different because of skin color. He was very opposed to segregation, he was a Christian and committed to non-violence. BLM and the democrats utterly oppose everything he stood for. They stand for deliberate pro-black segregation, they celebrate abortion, they are atheist, they use political violence.

Also, he never got wealthy from the movement.

MLK, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Andrew Jackson, et al., were none of them paragons of virtue. Whether it was owning slaves, diddling women other than their wives, evicting AmerIndians from their homes and making them take the trail of tears, they had their flaws.

Same goes for MLK. But he also braved attacks by police dogs, fire hoses, isolation in jail, and ultimately assassination, in order to fulfill his dream of “America living up to the true meaning of its creed” by taking apart the institution of segregation. And that part of his character was pristine. He put his own skin in the game, and ultimately died for it. And he made some great speeches, “I Have A Dream” being one of them.

And ok. He diddled women other than his wife on a regular basis, but they were not minors, as far as I know, and he didn’t feed them Cosby juice; it was consensual.

Food for non-thinkers. Think about it. Income inequality/Healthcare a right/Voter suppression. These are things one feels. They’re better at it than we are. Trump would have a health care plan that covers EVERYBODY. They shot him down with other cliches. Pretty smart. Now they’re cornered and racism is all they got unless we give them more. Black history month coming up. Super Bowl of black athletes and the touchy-feely commercials that go with it.
