That's the greatests barometer possible.

Schumer is out of touch with DEMOCRATS across the country!

Nothing new.............

…anti-semitic and pro-Palestinian is curious, relative to yesterdays vote.

I was sure it would change Schumer's mind. But no, it must have scared Schumer to death.
I actually think Schumer looked at it as a threat.
Spineless. Absolutely spineless.

….about the other 9?

we agree that they were all threatened in some way, either with their (and their family's) welfare or with the threat of being primaryed.
Let me know if we are on the same page.

The threat of violence or the threat of revelation of Kompromat has been one of the only justifications I have seen that explains how so many craven political decisions are being made, among people who we know know better. I am amazed that so many are deciding to cave to that pressure, so much so that I ultimately question the explanation. Can they all be so anti-Constitutional/democratic.

that rings so true. Schumer needs to go. He is betraying his Party…once again.

What if Schumer publicly went against the shutdown on purpose? What if he actually WANTS a Dem backlash that would "pressure" him into changing his mind -- especially if he KNEW that anti-DOGE firing court rulings were on the horizon?

Remember how Obama allegedly took Biden to task for making "gaffes" that forced him to accelerate the "evolution" of his "thinking" about gay marriage? And more recently, remember how Kamala forced Trump to oppose hot mics at their debates by coming out in favor of them?


Rocknation

Chuck and reverse psychology...or he wants bipartisanship. He's past his expiration date I'm afraid.

No offense taken at all -- I just find it hard to believe that this is a merely coincidence:

We, members of the Democratic Party on Democratic Underground, DO NOT SUPPORT Trump.

EVER

I've never heard of them before, and the bsky post doesn't shed any light on it.

Sorry if you think this is a stupid question.

Doesn't sound like something I would want to put much faith in or take its word for anything, but I'm glad to know what it is.

I never use "Grok", I only know of it because I've read about it. I guess the point of the BlueSky poster was that even an AI tool associated with Twitter believes the CR is worse than a shutdown.

Moot point now I guess since 10 Dems already voted to pass it.

If memory serves, it was a while back and I have manage to sleep a few times since then.

I missed that. Got a link?

Schumer is wrong! Dead wrong!

and then loooong statements are released whining about how we just HAD to do it

this is disturbing

Link to tweet

That bill will be far more draconian

The question is whether the alternative would be worse for us.

And that's speculation either way.

caving in with NO NEGOTIATIONS is as weak as it gets

But they thought that republicans would have a tougher time getting it through the house


Once the alternative was a filibuster… the options narrowed

The thing the Schumer ignored is the Republican town halls which gave the Dems HUGE leverage over Republicans in getting Gov back open. Now...we have nothing because all they need is a simple majority for the Bill.

Republicans look at this as a MASSIVE amount of weakness shown by Democrats. Hell...they even gave them a bigger plum with TEN voting with Republicans when they only needed seven.

Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I'd go buy a compass.

Thanks Chuck.........

Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.)
Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)
John Fetterman (D-Pa.)
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)
Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)
Gary Peters (D-Mich.)
Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii)
Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), and Sen.
Angus King (Maine), an independent who caucuses with Democrats

Angus, is a surprise.

We all know that Schumer is as weak as puppy piss anyway, but frankly, I don't know what he or his caucus could have done to really stop this except for something symbolic only?..

Sometimes Trump lies for a purpose, but often he appears to lie for no other reason than to "own the libs." Trump has reduced political discourse and commentary to a game of liar's pokers in which the stakes include the well-being and lives of innocent bystanders. Folks who prefer to avoid dealing with the chaos will not be immune from the consequences.

Are all saying this is a HUGE mistake. So there is that. Now we will go from here and see. But... trump would have cheered either way. It was a win either way. I have wanted Schumer out for at least a decade.
