Do-nothing Democrats strike again.
Schumer is a coward and a fraud. The weakest leader in a generation. He should resign in shame.
Rumor is that he’s doing it because he has a book tour starting tomorrow and if there’s a shut down he can’t go. Fucking cretin.
I hope to God that’s not true. I can’t imagine someone being that selfish
Elon Musk is in the news everyday and you can’t imagine someone being that selfish?
At this point, Elon Musk hardly counts as “someone”
Schumer is a traitor, capitulator and collaborator.
his response to ice literally kidnapping a man for speech was three paragraphs of “oh yeah totally fuck him hate how fucking Arab he is” before finally saying “but this might be a little bit wrong? uwu” and asking for reasons rather than fucking demanding he be released immediately.
Chuck “blackbagging might be wrong” Schumer. between him and Amy I wonder how much worse a family can get.
fascist collaborator piece of shit.
Wait, is he related to Amy Schumer??
Yeah, he’s like her dad’s cousin or something like that
“I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”
What’s his reason for saying this? How does a government shutdown give Trump more power?
A congressional recess during shutdown means that nobody would be left to hold Trump accountable. Except, they’re already not doing that, so…
It doesn’t. He is lying and he knows it. I won’t attempt to recreate his spin, because it doesn’t make any sense.
Congress in theory has the power to hold back, punish, or even remove the president. The government shutdown causes a congressional recess.
If the goverment shuts down, the buildings and agencies will be empty, because all government workers will be home. But DOGE and Musk arent government workers, and theyll have unimpeded access to EVERYTHING, with absolutely nobody to observe what they are doing.
They already have that.
It’s bullshit to cover up for the fact that his corporate donors like Blackstone can’t handle any more stock market pain.
Yeah that’s my question too. Does it unlock some military related powers? Maybe if there is no gov theres no legal oversight power?
It doesn’t unlock anything new, it just removes the lion handler from the lion’s circus act. Although, that lion handler was a Republican majority and wasn’t doing anything anyways.
How does a government shutdown give Trump more power?
It doesn’t. It’s a straight up lie. He’s enthusiastically complicit.
no reasoning other than having an excuse to vote in favor of the bill.
opposition party? these motherfuckers may as well be on the same goddamn team.
They are.
‘People Will Not Forget’
They always forget.
Oh damn I’d forgotten about that
Big surprise, old suits in the democratic party don’t represent the modern democratic voter.
There needs to be term limits, especially based on age, and to whipe out any form of stock trading and “donations”.
The reason they’re still in office is for 30 years the DNC has put protecting incumbents above all else, including beating republicans.
The DNC power structure is pretty much the opposite of a democracy, but we just got our furtherest left chair in over 30 years, and his performance as a state party leader shows his biggest concern is beating Republicans, and he’s accomplished that to great success by just not putting the party in-between voters and the progressive candidates they want to vote for.
It’s an incredibly low bar, but one Ken Martin easily clears.
Don’t hate the (literally a month old) new blood for the failings of the old.
The reason they’re still in office is for 30 years the DNC has put protecting incumbents above all else
Protecting centrist incumbents above all else. They didn’t do shit to protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman, for exactly one reason.
I’m not giving anyone this shitty party selected for any position the benefit of the doubt until I see how they actually behave in situ.
Democrats need to primary all these old fucks the way the crazy maga crowd primaried Republicans
Call your democratic rep and demand that they insist Schumer resign.
(202) 224-3121
At this point, I am Not donating a single dollar more to the party. I won’t vote for a democrat at the top of the ticket and will pick a DSA candidate or green candidate. If the democrats aren’t willing to fight for democracy or strengthen it when they’re in power, I won’t reward them with votes.
Every democrat senator needs to be primaried.
Me neither. I’m done. They have until midterms to change my mind.
So we yell at someone who yells at someone who then says “No.” and then we’re back where we started.
Plus my democratic Senator has brain damage and I have no democratic representative.
“People will not forget!”
Ron Howard: “They Would.”
Chuck is a pussy and needs to go ASAP
“VoTe BlUe no mAtTeR who”
Liberals as always would rather side with fascists.
Probably in the minority here and I’m not a fan of establishment Democrats, but his reasoning that Trump would use the shutdown to move without court interference seemed logical to me.
I see the logic behind it, but cant decide if the system is now so broken that his logic even works in the new framework.

AOC’s view
AOC will be the woman Hillary wished anyone believed for a second she was.
I’m sure when Chancellor Trump orders the purging of opposition leaders, he’ll leave you alone for sucking his dick like this. Surely debasing yourself before wild animals will keep you from being ripped to shreds by them.
Dictators kill their enemies. Everyone who isn’t, and hasn’t always BEEN their fiercely loyal, obedient ally is an enemy. Especially if they’re a declining, psychopathic, malignant narcissist.
