Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced during a floor speech Thursday evening that he will vote to advance the stopgap spending bill that must become law before Friday at midnight to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Get these spineless geriatric corporate shill democrats out of office!
We did! And now half the government is gone!
-
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 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.

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.
they used to have a word for people like Schumer.
COLLABORATOR.
Yep - he must step down as minority leader. This is unacceptable.
We used to, but we still do
Thanks, Mitch.
Fuck Chuck
Was he bought off!!?!??
Always has been.
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.
Incredibly disappointing.
Walking waste of oxygen.
Weak, pathetic, embarrassing, bizarre, illegible, inexcusable
Chuck is short for Vidkun.
Federalist Society member.
He’s fucked no matter what he does. Vote for it and piss everyone off. Or, let the shutdown happen and give the talking Cheeto more power.
Or vote for it and give the talking cheeto more power.
