The democrats love them some filibuster when it stops what they want stopped....usually in the service of racism or helping the enemies of our country......
Two days later, however, the same Democratic party that has flip-flopped on their previous defenses of the filibuster and who are now routinely painting it as a tool only racists would utilize turned around and used that very tool to block a bill proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz that would impose sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2:
Of course......it was never Trump in bed with Russia, it has always been hilary, biden and the rest of the democrat party who will take a check from any bloody handed butcher .....
On a related note, in 2020 alone, Senate Democrats abused the filibuster 327 times to block Republican/Trump agenda items. Republicans used it once.

Ted Cruz that would impose sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2:
Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked legislation from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to slap sanctions on businesses tied to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a win for the Biden administration, which believes such sanctions could damage relations with Germany.
Senators voted 55-44 on Cruz’s legislation, falling short of the 60 votes needed for it to pass. Democratic Sens. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Jacky Rosen (Nev.) and Raphael Warnock (Ga.) joined every Republican save Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in voting for the bill.
Senate Dems Protect Putin's Gas Pipeline Using ‘Jim Crow Relic’ Filibuster to Stop Sanctions
Two days after President Biden declared that people who opposed him on abolishing the filibuster and/or federalizing elections were racists, Senate Democrats blocked Sen. Ted Cruz's sanctions bill against Nord Stream 2 by using the filibuster.
