Hakeem Jeffries is also a very slow and boring speaker to attempt to try to listen to.
He gives speeches like a preacher. I can understand why you might find the style off-putting. I do.

I doubt anyone is a good enough speaker for most to want to sit through an 8 hour speech.

I noticed those on camera sitting behind him changed a lot as people took turns.

Most of us would collapse if we had to talk almost 9 hours.
I heard a highlights clip. It was good--and for a good cause.
Jeffries is a lightweight. Cory Booker's filibuster went on for 25 hours a couple of months ago.

If we dehumanize the poor and immigrants, we lose our own humanity. We are made in the image and likeness of God, every one of us, but when we dehumanize others we also dehumanize ourselves.
Your media is deceiving you simply by changing the proper name of illegal aliens to immigrants.

Your media has repeated the lie so many times people believe it

Your media will not call criminals what they are, but will rail against those who protect us from those criminals

Your media is so skewed to the left that even when the President brings peace in three areas globally, when he accomplishes things with MATo that “couldn’t be done”. They are so trapped in their narrative that they can acknowledge the good.

Your media, the moment Trump came as a Republican completely filled their narrative on him. He went from a media star and welcomed friend on shows like The View to being enemy number one.

ANYONE WHO Weeps for illegals while applauding babies murdered in the womb needs to take a long hard look at themselves. IMHO

The reverse is true as well.
The "concern" for the unborn is discredited by their utter lack of concern for their fellow human beings whose only crime was seeking a better life for themselves and their familes.

When one mocks the illegal immigrant, Jesus himself is mocked.

Most of the people that are going to be hurt by the passing of this bill are not those who entered the country illegally or those scamming the system. If that's what you believe, then it you that has been lied to.
There are less work requirement restrictions in this bill on receiving benefits than were in place in 1996 under Bill Clinton.

Jesus also taught obeying the laws of the land. Your claim their only crime was wanting a better life is false! There is a legal way to enter this country and that is encouraged. Sad that some try to use scripture to justify law breaking.

That’s right.

However, Requiring people to not break the law is not mocking them.

What does scripture say about calling evil good?

Having a legal path for entry into this country is NOT an “oppressive decree”! It is a just and lawful way to stop chaos which is not of God.
People born in the incorrect place is the real problem?
Maybe now that the BBB (ver. 2.0) is history, Congress can tackle immigration reform?

With regards to the “illegals” at least some of them have “somewhere” to “go back to”. America’s poor are stuck here.

No but I watched enough to see that Jeffries was just showboating and delaying. What I called worship was the waving if what looked like handkerchiefs and Democrats surrounding Jeffries with adulation and rock star like attention. Quite funny actually. It was really bad when he started preaching on faith and quoting scripture to demean Republicans.
Which Scripture did he quote and how did it demean Republicans?

And, from before:
Isn't what a little late? If you're referring to my reply, this thread was just started a bit past noon today, so no, how is it a bit late? If you are referring to something/someone else being late and desperate, please clarify.​
Who are you accusing of attempting to "obscure the great win", me, the OP, Jeffries or Vance? I have yet to see Vance reading the text which is from whom again?​

I said most of the people that are going to be hurt by the passing of this bill are not those who entered the country illegally or those scamming the system. There's a lot more to this bill than work requirements being added to SNAP and Medicaid. BTW, there have never been work requirements for receiving Medicaid.
