1. It's amazing how Dementia Joe flip flops constantly on his position on issues! We need TRUMP!

2. Omg 😳 This man is not well. Anyone that voted for Biden please tell me that you really don’t think 🤔 he has dementia.

3. Biden says "The filibuster is a relic of Sheryl Crow."

4. Apparently it wasn't considered abuse when the Democrats used it over the past few years.

5. Meanwhile Democrat’s use the filibuster over 300 times last year, but now it’s racist cause is been use against them. Lol 😂

6. 0:09 he really said when he got into senate 120 years ago?! This guys an absolute tool. He has no idea where he is.

7. How come they cut off the part where he had a dementia brainfreeze?

8. Anyway………..😒😒😒😒😒where are my pants?! What? It’s time for jello… I’ll be right there.

9. I love the fact that democrats already did this once in regard to judges which allowed Trump to install many judges. This one will blow up also, maybe within two years.

10. Was the filibuster racist when Biden and Obama used it? Funny how quick people forget things.

11. Executive orders are being abused in a big way

12. Biden wants to get rid of the Filibuster because It is the last remaining tool the Republicans can use to block a Democrat vote. Biden is a dictator with almost absolute power. He can pass any bill he wants. Without the Filibuster the minority party has no rights. That means the millions who didn't vote for Biden are totally disenfranchised.

13. My God. People will be sneaking into Mexico pretty soon.

14. "It is not only a bad idea, it upsets the constitutional design and it disservices the country," Biden argued in 2005 against eliminating the Senate filibuster. "No longer would the Senate be that 'different kind of legislative body' that the Founders intended. No longer would the Senate be the 'saucer' to cool the passions of the immediate majority."

15. That’s a lot of filibusters lol

16. Lol 1:50 great speech wonder if he learned to public speak like that 120 years ago too..😂

17. Obama 2005
    What they don't expect is for one party – be it Republican or Democrat – to change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet. The American people want less partisanship in this town, but everyone in this chamber knows that if the majority chooses to end the filibuster – if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate – then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse.

    I understand that Republicans are getting a lot of pressure to do this from factions outside the chamber. But we need to rise above an "ends justify the means" mentality because we're here to answer to the people – all of the people – not just the ones wearing our party label.

    The fact is that both parties have worked together to confirm 95% of this President's judicial nominees. The Senate has accepted 205 of his 214 selections. In fact, we just confirmed another one judge this week by a vote of 95-0. Overall, this is a better record than any President's had in the last 25 years. For a President who received 51% of the vote and a Senate chamber made up of 55% of the President's party, I'd say that confirming 95% of your judicial nominations is a record I'd be pretty happy with.

    Again, I urge my Republican colleagues not to go through with changing these rules. In the long run, this is not a good result for either party. One day Democrats will be in the majority again, and this rule change will be no fairer to a Republican minority than it is to a Democratic minority.

18. Omfg he actually said 120 years ago.

19. In 2020 the filibuster was used 327 times by the Democrats, and once by the Republicans. 327 to 1. If we're to believe joe and the filibuster is a relic of the racist Jim Crow/Eagle era that's being abused so badly, why is HIS party the one abusing it?

    It's a shame the media doesn't point that out. Too bad his card doesn't have THOSE statistics.

20. 1:58 go ahead and pass THAT off as a stutter. Unbelievable. Keep telling yourselves his mind is not slipping.

21. Isn’t ODD that the filibuster was NOT considered “racist” when the Great Senator Obama praised the tool against Racism…
    https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/05/watch-barack-obama-in-2005-defend-the-filibuster-he-now-says-is-racist/

    And Senator Joe embraced the filibuster when “fairness”

    So we can simplify the “reform” – when a filibuster is good for the Soviet Democrat Party it is “good” and when the filibuster goes against the Soviet Democrat Party’s agenda… it’s “RAAACIST” (like every other loyalty test)

22. NBC IS A SOCIALIST MEDIA OF LIARS

23. Congratulations, Biden's Voting Access Bill will ensure republicans cannot create vote suppression.
    
    America should be held responsible for it's failed human rights record both domestically and internationally.
    
    Teasing and laughing at MAGATs and their voting suppression during 2020 was funny.
    
    Now that it is 2021, teasing and laughing at MAGATs feels like laughing at the disabled.

24. Boy he sure defended it earlier!! A democrat woman used a filibuster in Texas and democrats loved it so which is it only when democrats . Benefit.

25. Possibly "one-of" largest of abuses, is the "so-called" "national security" act they use and hide their crimes' behind.
