Republicans just took a total victory over Democrats under the leadership of Donald Trump.

Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer just took to the Senate floor to admit TOTAL DEFEAT!

"Unless Congress acts, the government will shut down tomorrow at midnight. There are no winners in a government shutdown — but there are victims...I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

Democrat suicide averted.

We couldn’t get that lucky.

We’d win either way, since shutting down the whole gummint would be a step toward shutting down part of it.

I guess they figured out that Trump wanted a shutdown.

'"Unless Congress acts, the government will shut down tomorrow at midnight."

Doesn't sound like he caved to me.

There is no downside to government shutdown that I have ever seen.

Governments employees get free paid vacations is all that ever happens.

“’”Unless Congress acts, the government will shut down tomorrow at midnight.”

He means he and the other Democrats will support the CR.

Yeah. This is not a good thing. A government shutdown would have let Trump and DOGE continue unabated.

Schmuckie is not wrong from a ‘Rat viewpoint.

Mrs. VanShuyten will be sorely disappointed. She had been hoping for a couple of weeks off, eventually with pay, of course.

83 votes for cloture. Will the same number of Dims vote for the bill? And which ones voted against this, in both parties?

Actually, IMO, a shutdown blamed on the Dems would have been better on many levels. I could be wrong.

Wait, they said they were all “united” against the funding. They even all posted the same scripted messages on their social media accounts.
