That's why I'm shocked people are shocked. It's a shame they have to do exactly what he says.
😐
and they can haul Pelosis carcass out as they go. They should prop her up at the stock exchange where she really works.

Jefferies and Schumer need to step down. This is pathetic.
Apparently it's only "compromise" when it aligns with corporate interests. When it's about the benefit of the people, it somehow becomes "extremism".
About half the seated Democrats right now need to be primaried hard. How did we have a more coordinated opposition party during Trump's first term? It's worse this time around and they are showing absolutely no will to fight.

If Pelosi AND AOC agree on something, no one in the party has any business disagreeing. Schumer should resign over this moronic take.
This is exactly what my first thought was. If Pelosi and AOC are agreeing on something, the other side is being really really stupid.

I have been extremely pro-democrat and it has driven me insane how the far left ONLY ever shits on democrats when they are objectively better than republicans on every single issue. Democrats generally vote in the direction of increased taxes on the rich, more access to healthcare, better safety nets, etc. while republicans are just demons who obstruct all progress for the sake of destroying the world. But after Trumps election, watching the cowardice of the dems actually fucking disgusts me. They might as well be republicans with their lack of response. Just a fucking disgrace. Fuck Cuck Schumer. I will stop defending dems. Trumps election is the official end of both parties. Neither of those parties can be allowed to survive if the US manages to survive this.

Cuck Schumer
Cloture is by no means a certainty yet: If your senator hasn't stated their position yet, there's still time to call them. With any luck, this will be the beginning of the end for Cowardly Chuck's leadership.
Edit: specifically saying "Vote no on cloture" tells them you're highly engaged and highly likely to vote.

The naivety of the old guard feels akin to the council in Mass Effect 1 dragging their feet while Saren plows ahead unobstructed.

Screw Schumer. If there’s one thing that might bring some people away from Trump - it’s having the government shut down for no discernible reason for an extended amount of time. Could be the last shot at doing things here the legal way
As she should, and Every. Single. Member! Do better “America” or should I say “The illegal 1% trash”.
“Public servants cannot and will not use their public status to increase their own personal wealth”
SAID NO GOVERNMENT MEMBER EVER! They are not “for the people” they have more money than most will see and clearly they only care about themselves! Fuck ALL OF THE GOVERNMENT MEMBERS and actually clean the fucking swamp from greed and idiocracy! We deserve better!
I am an Independent and think both sides suck on the whole political spectrum in this country. I'm also from NY and both of my Democratic senators voted to pass this blank check to Trump and Elon.
The Democrats have gone about dealing with Trump and his disciples in Congress the completely wrong way from day one. They try to be civil and favor the traditional ways of solving things in Congress. They have basically been bringing a pink plastic toy baseball bat to a gun fight this whole time that Trump has been in office this term.
And because of that, here we were with 2 horrible choices for them. But one choice would have shown that they had enough of the B.S. and had some kind of a spine. The "right" thing for Chuckie to do was to be united and stand firm that they wouldn't approve this CR and force a shut down unless they had a say in some of the solutions in the bill. Pain was coming either way, why not go down fighting and show that you were on the right side of history?
Given the past month and a half (holy shit it feels like it's been a decade) and the track record of Elon and Trump so far, I am very afraid of what is coming in the next month and a half -- let alone when this budget fight resumes in September.
When I first met her, she was slinging margaritas at a Mexican restaurant near Union Square. It was the best part of the time between classes I had at Parsons.
Sadly, because I lived in Brooklyn, I could not vote for her, although she has been one of the greatest young progressive voices in our government in nearly a century.
Saying that “I wish her all the best” doesn’t come close. I want her to be president someday, very very soon.
I saw that Schiff and Padilla opposed cloture and the GOP spending bill. Called their offices to vocalize my support.
