A NATIONAL HERO IS BORN
and it is none other than my own U.S. senator here in New Jersey: Cory Booker. The Democrat, who previously was mayor of Jersey City's next-door neighbor Newark, stood up for social justice with great passion for 25 hours and 4 minutes - and still had more fight in him after that! Naysayers call it just a stunt but they don't get it. Booker exemplified the anger, frustration and determination of the American people to fight back against Trump's madness. You'd have to go back to Daniel Webster in the 19th century to display such a courageous commitment to a just cause in the Senate. Tonight he is the freaking Jackie Robinson or Hank Aaron of politics. This one will be remembered.

Cory Booker's speech passed the record set by South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW
an-ex MAGA has revealed the sick plot of the J6 goons that Trump pardoned; they are forming a death squad to extra-legally "punish" anyone they feel have "harmed" them (read brought them to justice) or who is not sufficiently obeisant to Trump. This presumably includes the investigators, prosecutors, judges, politicians, journalists, anti-Trumpers, disloyal Trumpers, protesters, and anyone else at random who offends them or Trump. They seek to be deputized by local sheriffs to be authorized to arrest people, put them on mock kangaroo trials for "treason against Trump" and, upon "sentencing," carry out that sentence. In case you don't know, the sentence for treason in the U.S. is still ex*****on. Naturally, much like Michael Corleone, Trump himself will never issue a direct order to them to pick up a target, he will use a "buffer" or just make a tweet that he very much disapproves of so-and-so. If apprehended by real law enforcement, this squad of vigilantes arrogantly believe that Trump will pardon them again or that his DOJ will not investigate and prosecute them - and they won't likely be wrong. Times are about to turn a lot darker.
