Former President Barack Obama used his eulogy at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to call for an end to the Senate filibuster to pass Democrats new legislation on voting reform.
Obama said that Republicans had imitated Jim Crow-era restrictions on voting rights, which Lewis marched against, by passing state voter ID laws and other measures that conservatives argue prevent voter fraud.
And if all this takes is ending the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then thats what we should do.
Without mentioning Donald Trump by name, Obama likened the president to segregationist Democrat Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, and compared federal law enforcement officers to the police who beat civil rights marchers across the South.
He accused the government of sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.

“Forgive me as I say something nice about President Obama. But I thought he looked really nice. He is quite a handsome dude and in great shape.”
And Pres. Trump is somewhat overweight and is older.
But we all know that thin people are morally superior to overweight people, right?
Whoever heard of “thin shaming”?
;^)
Obama is what we all do when we sit on the toilet!
Eliminating the Filibuster
If they take the Senate as well as the Presidency, they do not want any speed bumps on their way to ramming their radical, life altering program down our throats. They want to change everything, where you live, how you get around, what you eat, how you raise your kids, what you see and hear, what you are allowed to read, what you are allowed to say. They will pillage whatever assets you may have, if you are not deemed politically correct, even modest assets. I cannot think of one thing that some Democrat does not want to control. If they get their way, the New USA will make the Soviet Union really look like a workers paradise.
Total scumbag.
Let’s hope Obama continues to go public in his support for Joe Biden. We obviously need more reminders of the 8 years of Obama-Biden administration and policies. One of the worst presidential periods in our history.
A good reason against women voting. They are swayed by “sharp looking suits” and such.
I say that as a woman. One of the very few who uses logic instead of emotion.
Wellstone Memorial Redux?
“Anyone who doesnt already know that Democrats will do this On Day One if they take the Senate, hasnt been paying attention”
That will be the first order of business. The second will be the 6 new Supreme Court justices.
The filibuster is much older than the Jim Crow laws (enacted in the post-Civil War era to keep black people “in their place,” as local whites perceived it, after slavery was gone). The US Senate website doesn’t give an exact date for the start but it clearly goes back to before 1841 (and the House used to allow filibusters too).
I have been calling for the end of the filibuster for 40 years it is just used as an excuse for not keeping promises by the GOPe. If no one is in charge with a majority then there is no one in the majority to blame. Both parties use the same excuse up until now since the Progs have went full scorched earth Marxist.
Just last year the Machus Company decided not to renew the 30 year Red Fox Restaurant lease.
We could have offered a generous gift card to Hussein O and Moochelle in case they were hungry and in Michigan sometime. Now too late.
From Virtual GlobeTrotting: https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/red-fox-restaurant-where-jimmy-hoffa-disappeared/
On July 30, 1975, Hoffa went to the Red Fox Restaurant outside of Detroit to allegedly meet three men, a Detroit labor leader, an important local mobster and a powerful figure in New Jersey Teamster politics. Hoffa arrived first, around 2:00 in the afternoon, but after waiting nearly 30 minutes, none of the others had arrived. Annoyed, he called his wife and told her that he was going to wait for a few more minutes before giving up. This was the last time that she ever spoke with her husband. At 2:45, Hoffa was seen getting into a car in the restaurant parking lot with several other men. Investigators are pretty sure that he never got out of the car alive.
Wagon going past....
Is that Camel-A Harris walking behind the wagon? She’s a famous VP wannabe kissup now, I heard.
Does Obama have any idea who George Wallace was? Do he not know that Feds were sent to AL to enforce desegregation?
His voice drives me crazy!
Wallace was a Democrat
A John Wellstone Lewis event.
Everyone told McConnell. Trumps agenda stood a chance but no, McConnell had to uphold the traditions of the senate which we told him the dems would destroy if they were in charge.
Wallace was a Democrat
Are you sure? ;)
