Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), for reasons known only to himself, decided to begin an hours-long anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor Monday.

Booker, known for being a perpetual fountain of drama in the chamber, announced his big marathon speech to followers on X.

"I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people," he said.

"I am not going to stop speaking, I am not going to stop standing. I am going to go for as long as I'm physically able to go."

He concluded the video by shouting, 'This is Sparta!'

Just kidding. But would you have even been surprised if that happened?

The New Jersey senator took over the spotlight once he was recognized and kicked off the melodrama as only he could.

 “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker began his remarks. “I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”

“In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy,” Booker said. “These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.”

Now, wait just a minute. My understanding is that disrupting congressional business is an "insurrection" that requires malicious prosecution to destroy one's life. No?

Booker's Democrat colleagues hailed his anti-Trump speech as a "filibuster." Sen.Chris Murphy (D-CT) is on social media touting it as one of the most significant speeches he's ever witnessed.

However, even CNN is hilariously pointing out that Booker's speech is not a filibuster by any means and is actually just an annoying waste of time for everybody involved.

"The speech is not a filibuster because Booker is not blocking legislation or a nomination," they write. "The Democratic senator’s speech will keep the Senate floor open – and floor staff working as well US Capitol police members detailed to the chamber – for as long as he continues speaking, but lawmakers had concluded voting on Monday before he began his remarks."

Cue the sad trombone. If Spartacus gives a speech and nobody is there to hear it, did it ever really happen?

Not only that, but Booker's marathon speech, per Senate rules, allows him to continually take breaks by yielding the floor to field questions from his Democrat colleagues. It's like running a marathon over three days while repeatedly stopping at the local McDonald's for some snack time.

Folks on X were quick to poke fun at ol' Sparty. Conservative Forum simply posted a GIF of President Trump saying, "Nobody cares."

"If you needed any more evidence that the Democrats are a bunch of drama kids, Cory Booker is, tonight, filibustering for no reason," influencer Carmine Sabia wrote. "There’s no legislation, no nomination, he just wants to talk."

"I was watching 'Derry Girls,'" added Townhall columnist Kurt Schlichter. "It was more interesting and more masculine than your public festival of onanism."

Now, wait just a minute. As much as I admire Kurt, you can't discount Booker's masculinity. This is, after all, the guy who said his testosterone levels make him want to punch Trump in the face. 

“Donald Trump is a guy who you understand he hurts you, and my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him, which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that,” Booker told late-night host Seth Meyers. “This physically weak specimen—but you see what I’m talking about here?”

The same man who declared himself to be having a ‘Spartacus’ moment during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in which he staged being a rebel by ‘breaking’ committee rules in his own mind to deliver truth unto the people.

How does one discount a testosterone-fueled Thracian gladiator like Cory?

Booker fancies himself such a bada** that one half expects him to start wearing a leather jacket on his way to the Capitol while riding a custom, tripped-out Vespa scooter with a license plate that reads ‘IMSPARTY.’

As of this posting, Booker is still speaking, mostly to Murphy, who appears to be the only one in the chamber with him.
