Music icon Stevie Wonder on Tuesday pressed Senate lawmakers to enact a rules change in order to pass voting rights legislation, saying the filibuster “is not working for democracy.”

My Kindle just gave me a notice about some celebrities’ book recommendations. I don’t care about that, so how am I going to care about a celebrity’s political musings?

Yes. And it’s a good sign that Dems don’t think they’ll be able to cheat enough to retain control of either House.

Whenever you see “democracy” these days just replace it with “revolution”.

Trump is a threat to....

The filibuster is a threat to...

Free speech is a threat to...

Just have to decode what they’re saying.

> Poor Stevie, He just can’t see how dishonest the Democrats are.

Mr. Wonder's blind faith in the Democrats and their observable blindsiding of the truth is dumbfounding ...

“Then why’d the Democrats use it over 300 times in 2019, Stevie? “

No kidding! What, is he blind?

The “democracy” B.S. again. 🙄

Anybody with more than two working brain cells knows that these simpering leftists want cheating ease, not election integrity.

Shut up and sing, Stevie.

I have never liked this idiot since I heard someone say when he came out that he was the new Ray Charles. Not by a long shot. There will never be another Ray Charles, IMHO.

Well— he can’t see his lane, so why bother? Heh. Go ahead and drive into a wall.

300 times in 2019 the Filibuster— which worked for them. Maybe they should think what will happen to them... uh, extra judiciary-like if they think they can have one party rule. They have to go home sometime, and like the old “seniors chasing Dan Rostenkowski out of his office in che-cah goe” it would make a very good video.

I thought he moved to Ghana to get away from racisssss America.

Interestingly, I have a friend from Ghana who moved here for freedom and opportunity.

Wonder (born Stevland Morris), speaking from his multi-million dollar mansion, said blacks and browns “can’t catch a break” as long as 41 white people in the Senate can deny them wealth and opportunity.

“I was speaking to Oprah about this and we agreed you’d have to be blind to not see what is going on in minority communities.”
