House Democrats erupted into apoplexy Thursday night after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he would support Republicans' stopgap government funding measure.
Why it matters: House Democrats feel like they "walked the plank," in the words of one member. They voted almost unanimously against the measure, only to watch Senate Democrats seemingly give it the green light.

I’m holding my breath until the vote is over....sometime this afternoon?
Serpenthead Carville keeps watching the Democrats meltdown and he thinks they are Republicans.
It will pass. 8 or 9 Dems are a yes vote.
Schumer called us Bastards then said sorry “people”. Watching that clip indicates to me that he intentionally used that word
Maybe the House Democrats can hold up signs saying, “Schumer Lies?” Maybe that might help them feel better?
SCHUMER KNOWS THAT THE SWAMP CAN’T KEEP SHREDDING DOCUMENTS IF THE ‘GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN’
Sorry for shouting.
There is absolutely no reason for the democrats to not want to take the opportunity to make Trump and republicans look bad right now with a shut down unless they are afraid it will hinder cover-up activities and make government agencies more vulnerable to staff cuts while they are gone and can’t react to them.
Chuck U knows that there is no such thing as a government shutdown.
And that Trump is happy to prove it.
Thank you.
Too bad, so sad.
Lee Marvin to Robert Ryan after being called a “bastard”
(paraphrasing): in my case, an accident of birth but you are a self made man.
The Dirty Dozen.
It was to Ralph Bellamy in “The Professionals” with Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale.
“Why it matters: House Democrats feel like they “walked the plank,” in the words of one member. They voted almost unanimously against the measure, only to watch Senate Democrats seemingly give it the green light.”
Now they know how conservatives feel about the Republican party and it’s leadership before Trump.
Chuckles is smart enough to understand a government shutdown gives President Trump the power to do far more and cut far more. House Democrats - many from completely safe deep blue districts - are mostly raging ideologues who understand nothing but their ideology and can’t think even 1 move ahead.
It was at end of movie when they let Jack Palance and Cardinale ride away back to Mexico. Movie was in 1966. Robert Ryan was in the movie as well, but the line was to Bellamy.
A shutdown proves most of government is non essential. Bolstering the DOGE cuts. Democrats do not want that optic.
Sorry for shouting.

I bet the internal polls are showing the Democratic party would be blamed for the shut down, and it would work in favor of President Trump.
President Trump has engineered a Heads I win, tails you lose scenario for the Democratic Party.
Aaaaaaargh.
For the last time.
There is NO such thing as a government shutdown.
Chuck U knows it.
So does Trump.
And now Chuck U knows that Trump is prepared to prove it.
Deep State doesn’t want that.
THAT is why Chuck U caved.
