Indeed smells like collusion.
We used to, but we still do
Thanks, Mitch.
Yep - he must step down as minority leader. This is unacceptable.
Chuck Schumer and anyone who approves of this bill are Nazi collaborators and enablers. There is no defense for voting yes on this bill.
-
It doesn't matter what they do, Republicans will always blame Democrats for everything. They blame Democrats for the results of Republican policy, so why are you concerned about a blame game?
-
Republicans have control of every part of the federal government, The House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court. As long as Democrats just vote no and don't impede legislation (which they should also do, but I digress), their messaging should be "look how fucking incompetent your leadership is. They have every tool at their disposal and still can't run a government effectively." Why is it the Democrats job to assist them? It's not like Republicans would do the same
I know the answer is that Democrats exist to placate people while Republicans continue enriching the wealthy but man it'd be nice if they grew a fucking spine
This was about cloture vote, I doubt they will vote yes to the bill.
Given everything you have seen since Trump took office, do you think they don't want a government shutdown? RN so much of what the administration is doing is illegal, Democrats have no legislative power to curb that, but they can keep receipts and deal with it in two years. If the government shuts down, the administration will have the actual authority to decide what is "critical" and will furlough the rest until they all are forced to quit and find other work. A government shutdown effectively does the job they want done, and they get to blame the Democrats for it at their leisure.
Not to immediately call you out but yes they did: https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/mike-johnson-shutdown-avoided-schumer-trump-rcna196546
Also the problem we have is that Republicans are just straight up ignoring laws. Why would shutting the government do anything different? You seem to assume decorum and laws matter and all evidence says otherwise
This is a perfect nutshell statement as to why everyone is pissed.
All Democrats had to do was stand back and let the fucking circus start on schedule and everyone would be able to see the shit show that it is....
It's absolutely hilarious to me that all's Democrats had to do with nothing, something that they're incredibly used to doing, and they can't even get that right. I'm so fucking tired of these pompous fucks.
With such amazing leadership skills, I can see why chucklefuck schumer has been senate minority/majority leader for almost a decade.
What is the point of being scared in a government shutdown when Trump is currently dismantling most major services workforces?
Chuck is a coward and doing the work of his donor class.
The dismantling goes into overdrive if they send all the juges who can stop it on vacation. I really want them to shut it down but I don't think it would help.
The bill has a poison pill -- it allows Trump to shift funding. So yes, judges on vacation bad, but the bill effectively authorizes the behavior of the meme department.
Get these spineless geriatric corporate shill democrats out of office!
We did! And now half the government is gone!
Was he bought off!!?!??
That or someone has dirt/bpackmail on his ass, which should mean he should be ineligible for the house minority leader position.
"Someone" almost guaranteed to be Musk. The dude already has access to every sensitive US system, and his little goose-steppers likely are digging for dirt on anyone and everyone, so he can continue to expand his control over the country.
Always has been.
Chuck is short for Vidkun.
Fuck Chuck
Walking waste of oxygen.

Incredibly disappointing.
Weak, pathetic, embarrassing, bizarre, illegible, inexcusable
