Van Jones: Chuck Schumer in Blast Radius of ‘Volcanic Eruption’ of Anger from Dems After Helping Republicans
Republicans want to shut down the government when Democrats are in power, and Democrats want to shut down the government when Republicans are in power.
Why can’t we all just agree to shut down the government permanently?
Dumbocrats, just give DOJ enough dirt on him to get him into prison and then an empty seat is in the Senate.
I hope they treat him like an Apostate with all that goes with it from a Muslim perspective, because after all, they are quite sympathetic to Hamas in the Democrat Party.
I like how Van Jones describes things.
Having watched Chucky for years, I’ve always seen how clever he is politically. Not that I agree with him. But he got to power by his political prowess, not his back yard bar-b-q skills.
That being said, I can not help but think his “yes” vote has an end run coming. Was it a set up?
Whoever replaces the Chuckster will be weaker than the weak tea which Schumer is.
Who will the queen maker Pelosi back, since it’s clear she’ll back a woman, Patty Murray or Amy Clarkbar?
yes it was a set up. in the past no matter which side was responsible for a shutdown the left was deft at blaming the right and their complicit media would make sure of who got the blame. well not anymore. most liberals believed sincerely that this would be the case AGAIN but chucky schumer saw the handwriting on the wall an knew the leftsiders were on the hook this time so he tried to limit the damage to his party while THEY can’t see how damaging this blame will be. just my 2
OR - let’s agree to get Fed.gov back to 3-4% of GDP, like it was prior to 1913
What’s the big deal about the bill? We’re spending too much money as it is. So why are the Democrats complaining?
The legislation would keep much of the federal funding levels from the Biden Administration in place, with some key changes.
It increases military spending by $6bn (£4.6bn), for items like border security, veterans healthcare, and military spending. But would cut non-defence funding by about $13bn.
Any concession to Trump and the pubs regardless of how minor is a betrayal of the highest order to them. They are blinded by their TDS rage.
Certainly no fan but at the end Chuck “read the room” better than anyone. Contrary to my thinking they were going to eat a shutdown. I never thought that would ever happen. But Chuck saw it and minimized the damage for the crazier members of his party.
He’s still a POS though.
Schumer doesn’t care what democrats think of him. He is protecting his own ass - priority number 1.
We don’t vote for leaders, we vote for representatives. I’ll lead my own life.
The Rat house will not punish the Rat Senate. The Rat house is ALWAYS for anything that grows the administrative state. It is their religion.
