I’ll be honest I assume it’s some parliamentary specifics. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a filibuster to me. Allegedly it isn’t, but AFAIK, it is. It’s what I expect one to look like. It behaves like one. So it is.

Technically it isn’t a filibuster,

Depending on how long he is able to go, he could disrupt Senate business on Tuesday, though his speech technically isn’t a filibuster — the chamber is currently in a limited period of debate time for Matthew Whitaker’s nomination as ambassador to NATO.

Per https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/03/31/congress/cory-booker-talk-a-thon-00262482

It just behaves as you would expect a filibuster to behave. The standard no-show threatening is still a thing you can do.

The problem is that Trump doesn’t need authority, he doesn’t actually do anything. He needs the protections of the title. He allows things to happen and signs documents put in front of him.

Now if no one is enforcing anything then being an “independent contractor” might enough, but as laws currently exist and the precedent currently being set, he needs the actual title of President.

It’s the exact reason you hear assholes complaining that “conservatives are censored”.

Oh? Which “conservative” value was censored? Was it the bigotry?

I love pineapple and really strongly dislike it on pizza. The only time I’ve had “acceptable” pineapple on pizza is when it was chopped up really tiny and I could barely taste it.

My problem with pineapple on pizza is,

• Hot/warm pineapple is gross.
• Pineapple makes the pizza watery.
• Pineapple adds a sweetness that a pizza just doesn’t need. It detracts from other flavors.
• Again hot/warm pineapple tastes gross.
