Vote against it for heaven's sakes. Don't listen to Chuck. We are ready to be like the Canadians out here. Your votes are performative and honestly do not effect you at all. They will effect you at the voting booth if we get a chance to vote again. As for Chuck's silly reasoning that it could be worse is BS.. It is worse and one way to make it better is with these handful of special elections... Are some (only some) of these politicians even aware of what is truly going on? Or do they all live in ivory towers like the orange stain in his gold tower... get a grip

Got a "give us money" letter from Schumer just yesterday. Actually, it said "we cannot stop them" AND "give us money." How's that for a campaign slogan? Dems get no more money from me until they act against Trump. Ever. No more campaign contributions. Many of them have been in their jobs too damn long. Get them out of the way for people with nerve.

Great laugh at your unexpected title!!

Was eager for your comments on the situation and there you were! Perfect.

Keep up your great work!

I must respectfully disagree partially with the Liberal reaction to a rock and a hard place for Shumer. So, let the the Republicans take all the blame for this shitty bill, and let even more people suffer to gain political vindication? Or take the higher road, and consider the consequences of what matters most. Neither side wins either way anyhow, but everyday Americans will have one less crisis for the moment to deal with. In my humble opinion, Chuck fell on his own sword for a just reason. Was it the right one? Heres what I know, we need each other. Maga. Democrats Republicans, Independents, Conservatives, Liberals... And I am sooo close to seeing some of my maga friends seeing the reasons they should be embarrassed as hell they put these jackasses in charge. Which means I'm this close to seeing them maybe open their minds. So what if only 5% of them see through their folly in voting for dumbass? 5% would win the elections going forward. I hate their choice and am mad as hell about it, but for those of them willing to shut fox fucking news off for a minute, I'm gonna be there to point out the bridge back to the real America.

They are a criminal administration. We continue to give them cover at 0 benefit to ourselves and Americans still don't understand the shit sandwich they voted for. So YES, the only way we are going to end the evil abuse & madness is to let Americans take the full force of the hit. It has been a decade of this. We are not solving ANYthing by giving them cover. And did you know part of the CR basically will bankrupt DC among other egregious line items‽ Now they can say "see, the Dems agree with us!"

Chuck’s leaving on a book tour Monday that is restricted to both coasts, DC (well he lives there conveniently) and maybe Atlanta. No mid-country or rural areas (I guess he’s going to the big money locations—damn those poor people!)

Chuck’s book tour stops should be added to the protest schedule.

Schumer did the right thing... Columbia University problem has nothing to do with this... Reality is that if government shut down,,,,Trump who hates all things federal and helpful has no motivation to reopen it... He does not give two shits about people not getting their money.... He wants them to rent a suite at Trump Towers

Angie's avatar

That’s a huge risk. We close up shop voluntarily and it may never reopen. There is no winning, just surviving this.

pete's avatar

Correct... this is the cheese shop during Covid that never reopened... If government stays open,,, Trump has to explain how and why he is fucking everybody

Cyn B's avatar

So now we give them leeway to do more damage and they will say "see? The Dems voted for this." bullshit

pete's avatar

No that is not what will happen… Absolutely wrong… This is all procedural nonsense there is no binding painful legislation here… If the Democrats vote against it, and government shuts down,,,,it will stay shut down..Trump has no motivation to have it reopen… Do you think he cares if poor people eat? The fucker made his bones raising rent on and then evicting black people…

Keep Gov OPEN or give GOP big talking points. "Shutdown Dems take SS from grandma"

Shut the government down and the courts close in 2 weeks. Be careful what you wish for. Our judiciary may be the only thing functioning right now.

"We thought this was a joke when we first saw it, but apparently Schumer is going on a book tour next week. Excuse us for a second while we go in the backyard and scream."

.

Save your voice. Go to his book tour and SCREAM LIKE A BANSHEE!

Don’t be distracted PEOPLE There may not be any more free and fair elections according to Trump https://bit.ly/3FqVCYa July 27, 2024

There is soooo much torrent of material for digestion these days but one of the important issues is HOW THE HELL DID TRUMP WIN THE ELECTION? with such a concerted effort by Democrats

As one might expect with such an amazing effort by the Democrats to try to win they lost by 1.5% of the votes This will open your eyes as to a RIGGED ELECTION bit.ly/43K4Gl2

It requires a subscription but well worth the money like Meidas Touch Network because it lays bare the pathetic Democratic party response This has led to a demoralized cynical Democratic electorate saying "What's the use" or "Here they are begging for another campaign contribution" And that's exactly what the Republicans want to see Lay down and let us take over the country Congressional Democrats have dropped 37% in approval

Red states need to stop their legislatures from voter suppression tactics

We are in dangerous times Don't lay down Educate yourself and support the opposition effort The Republicans are subversively rigging the elections and are counting that they will continue to control the House and Senate at the midterms That’s the end of democracy Hello Nationalist Dictatorships

Spineless Dems. Feeling really disenfranchised here. Not sure I will ever support either party. Good bye America

I never imagined I would ever want to live, and vote, in NY. I do now.

Note six: People still go to the Kennedy Center?

Note eight: Correction: The 700K people who live in DC do in fact have representation. It's the US Congress. Fox? Chicken coop?

Note 11: When we leave.

Note 12: Well, I hope Schumer brings one or two copies, in case anyone mistakenly buys one.

Note 15: Nope. Unimaginable. And Donnie would be busting a gut demanding consequences.

Note 16: Got it. So Cheney/W's economic crash was Obama's fault, Musk/Donnie's crash is Biden's fault, and McCain prophesied that our wonderful economy today is based on sound fundamentals. You can't tell the players, you know?

Note 19: Good for Edwards. If we help the Ukraine, we should get something for it. I wonder what we're getting for having backed Israel since its inception, and very much more so since it decided to obliterate the Gaza Strip. I have every confidence that Donnie is shaking those people down hard.

"Sanity?": Elon and Donnie couldn't care less about any of this. They're focused on how much of everyone else's money they can get. The courts? Don't make me laugh.
