When Cruz says “Mr. President” he’s speaking to the President of the Senate. Which, apparently, rotates depending on which Senator is there (sometimes today, Cruz has addressed “Madame President”).
Savaging the MSM, supporting talk radio, pointing out the hypocrisy of politics...this guy is hitting on all cylinders.
He is be a spokesperson of all of us, but will be ignored by the MSM and most of the politicians around him.
How appropriate...
“...Preach that.....”
Count on it. He’s gutless to me.
Casey - he’s a dem empty suit. I expected nothing from him, and wasn’t disappointed.
Toomey, however... well, let’s just say that when I call in to the local talk radio program tomorrow, Toomey’s absence will be duly noted and broadcast.
Regardless of whether this will stop Ocare or not - it’s the UNITY - ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT - that matters. And clearly, some of the spineless weasels that call themselves GOP don’t understand unity.
just yesterday i had occasion to spend a few minutes with a beautiful man, about 23/24, and without
a doubt he is (was) one of our brave warriors.
he was in a wheelchair and accompanied by a
friend-—there is no way for him to be out in
public alone.
he was missing both legs above the knees and
one arm at the shoulder. the hand on his remaining arm was missing either 2 or 3 fingers.
regardless, he smiled throughout our short encounter and was pleasant and upbeat.
i did not dare to ask about his loss but decided instead
that just treating him exactly like everyone else,
might be “thank you” enough.
if i have the opportunity to see him again, and maybe develop some rappor, perhaps i’ll feel
like he’ll be OK with sharing more information
and allow me to say thank you.
believe me, it was incredibly humbling.
i especially remembered him in my prayers last night
along with all our willing warriors.

‘tis a legal term, you see.
The rest could be resting..I hope they are taking a nap..
they all need to tag team all night until the vote tomorrow..
that way someone can always stay with Ted and they can stay fresh to support and help him..
useless if they are all worn out..
also they need to be as fresh as possible to argue from the floor about the vote etc..
Umm. I may be wrong but “Mr. President” is the Senate president for the day. I could be mistaken.
Keep ‘em coming. I’m going to rewatch these clips, tomorrow!
Thank you...as always. I haven’t done a ping since this started. Oh my.
Ok...good to know...
lol.... I like your energy and analogy!
Cruz reminds all the power of the purse belongs to Congress, especially the House.....Don’t Give Up!
“Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste...”
One of the best songs ever written. I’m 52, grew up listening to those guys. Hell, my 18 year old son LOVES that song now.
so proud of this man
Can’t hardly believe this man has spoken so profoundly and from the heart for so long.... truly amazing the control he has and the endurance.
I’ve seen these before but he’s still right on the money.

Absolutely agree. It has been an education and a privilege. Cruz is a force!
No bathroom break allowed. IIRC, At least one who filibustered wore a catheter. Think another brought a pot and kept it in a corner, but I don’t have any names or dates.
After watching him all night I am going say that Cruz is the real deal. 30 years from now people will be calling the next 10-12 years the “Cruz Era”......just sayin’
Yes and they have changed during the day
earlier Ted was saying Madam President and before that Mr President..
They take turns and are assigned for a few hours at a time
He is the best paid government employee we have.
Arrgghh! The Eyebrow! Tim Caine!!
Who is speaking now?
