Do-nothing Democrats strike again.
Schumer is a coward and a fraud. The weakest leader in a generation. He should resign in shame.
“you mean if I suck some Republican dick I could make a whole bunch of money?”
-Chuck Schumer, allegedly, as he’s being railed from behind
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
Perfect encapsulation of the state of the Dem leadership:
“Chuck Schumer caving and saying he’ll vote for a blank check for Trump and Musk is demonstrative of why Democrats lose,” lamented progressive activist and writer Jonathan Cohn. “Voters so often don’t believe what they [Dem leadership] say because they don’t believe what they say.”
(Emphasis and clarification in brackets mine)
Literally less than 24 hours after saying democrats wouldn’t support the CR
Absolutely pathetic
“People will not forget!”
Ron Howard: “They Would.”
‘People Will Not Forget’
They always forget.
Oh damn I’d forgotten about that
“The Republican bill is a terrible option,” Schumer said in his remarks. “It is deeply partisan. It doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”
You fucking twat
opposition party? these motherfuckers may as well be on the same goddamn team.
I quit. American politics are a circus sideshow full of dancing turds. At this point, let it burn. The side that I vote for won’t even stand up against this shit, so what good is my vote now?
Just a bunch of rich assholes doing whatever they want.
That’s why the American people have to do it themselves. Take to the streets. The system has failed you. No one will save you but yourselves.
Come to Europe. We got ice cream and free healthcare. Also you don’t need a gun to protect yourself when going out for a walk.
I think those of us who want to leave cant…
I mean I KNOW I’m fucked, I’d save my wife…but who would accept us? Likely not one single European nation.
All of them will if you have a million in the bank… If not then its a long hard road.
Exactly…I’m not rich.
So we’re fucked.
Don’t need to be exactly rich.
What are the obstacles to taking this step? Is it only a financial matter? What is you and your wife’s profession? You can pm me if you want to.
That’s not exactly true. There are countries who welcome you if you have like some useful skills.
Gonna need that free Healthcare after I get done eating all of that ice cream.
It won’t burn on its own. It will only get worse if left unattended.
I’m just so disappointed in the fact that there are so many people in this country that actually voted for this shit. How can people sell themselves out like that, just to be able to say, “I owned the libs loool”
I don’t even know what to think anymore.
Cmon, they cheated. We all know it. Even they know it. And by not addressing it and shining a light on it, Democrats are INVITING them to do it again in 2026 and 2028. In 2028, HitlerPig will win his unConstitutional reelection with 98% of the vote, and use that “overwhelming popularity” to justify ignoring the Constitutional prohibition against a third term.
OK democratic leadership, you win; I’ll quit voting for your party.
OK democratic leadership, you win; I’ll quit voting for your party.
May not matter at the rate we’re going.
Way i look at it if does then the threat was overblown and they’re undeserving anyways.
I said the same shit to my senators and Schumer https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck. If they don’t vote no, I won’t vote Dem ever again. Tired of it.
Just quitting voting isn’t enough, join a local political group. Worst case scenario, they get radical and you’re too into it so you end up on the news. Best case scenario, they get radical and you’re not into it so you go home and plan your meals for the week.
‘Do this thing, but in the best scenario you’re not doing the thing.’
Canceling plans makes me turgid. My first kid was the result of our yoga instructor falling out of their window on New Year’s Eve
How did she anger Putin?
Uh, what? Brand new sentence. Also, you fucked your yoga instructor, or…?
I think I have seen this one
And vote Republican instead? Yeah, that’ll show’em.
your braindead take is exactly how you got into this mess
congratulation you filthy trump supporter
If Republicans didn’t have majority then there wouldn’t be any DNC making difficult choices. Not voting for democrats is exactly what caused this problem you’re supposedly outraged by.
I’ve held my nose and voted for the Democrats my entire adult life, including mid-terms. Guess I just gotta take it up the ass like the good rube that I am, since the Democrats don’t know how to win.
Primary them. The primary is where a protest vote actually matters. It’s where you’ll get the opportunity to replace your dem with a BETTER candidate instead of a worse one in the general election.
Why are you ashamed at yourself for doing the correct thing? Likening yourself to a cuck surrendering to rape because you voted for your own wellbeing and that of others?
I’m not seeing the connection here. Maybe keep your weird sexual fantasies out of politics, or start assigning blame where it deserves to be.
I was speaking figuratively, dummy. The “blame” for the inability to win lies upon the corporatist/“fascist-lite” DNC and their sycophants and cronies. Especially considering that in the last election, they had the largest campaign war-chest in recorded history and still lost. They’ve continuously paid lip-service to the working class and now they wonder why they lose.
This is an Atroturf if I’ve ever seen one. You literally praise the GOP and insult the DNC in one breath, even accuse the DNC of corporatism lmao like have you not followed politics at all in the last 35 years?
YOU are the one that brought up the weird sexual fantasies, only to blame them on him. Calm down.
“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.
Citing what I saw on Philip DeFranco earlier, apparently in a shutdown the executive branch has a lot of power in terms of what specifics get shutdown and how.
Was news to me considering the shitshow that happens every time the budget needs to be voted on but with all the DOGEness going on makes sense that there’s extra caution around this. Still sucks that Dems rolled over so easily.
Nothing is stopping the republicans from shutting it down themselves if it was so beneficial to Trump.
And it’s not like they wouldn’t lie and blame it on the Democrats, so there’s minimal risk in voter agitation vs alleged reward.
I think mostly it is revealing about Schumer’s priorities. He has a government job. If everything within the buildings in Washington DC is mostly still working the way it’s supposed to, then at the end of the day he still gets a paycheck and some important stuff to do every day. Lots of people across the US going through upheaval, losing their jobs, maybe getting detained indefinitely or not, journalists getting threatened, all that stuff isn’t, like, good, but it’s also not an existential threat to him. The government shutting down would be.
And so, avoiding that is a key priority of his. It’s urgent. All that other stuff is not.
Plus it’s a great opportunity for dozens of trolls to push a republican narrative on social media. Maybe a message to anyone left-leaning to stop voting.
When voting doesn’t change anything maybe it’s time to do something more?
As long as it’s more and not less.
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.
I say this with no sarcasm whatsoever… Its not like anyone is opposing Trump anyway so what’s the point of capitulating and preventing a govt shutdown… There is no point other than bending a fucking knee.
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.
What the fuck.
Cowardly traitor.
Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it’s why they keep fucking losing.
Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren’t a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.
My initial reaction is anger, but hearing his reasoning, I fear that he might be correct.
Don’t fuck with chuck
