Un-fucking-believable. I am Schumer’s constituent and I’ve been calling his office every day and they never pick up. This sucks he is useless old man time to primary him.
I have been emailing him as well. They’re already dismantling the government. What the fuck do you think a CR voting? Yes for the CR is gonna do give them more power. Chuck Schumer is a fucking idiot. If you think I’m giving the Democratic Party anymore money you can forget it
So he’s willing to accept the poison pills in that CR bill? The Republicans need to negotiate with the Dems to get their 60 votes. If they don’t do that, they own the shutdown too. No negotiations,no vote
IF The #Democratic Senators DO NOT Vote Down This #MAGAGOP CR, Then #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump WILL SAY, "And Now, I Own The Democrats, too, #Schumer!"
@schumer.senate.gov Vote NO! There is no good reason for you to support this bill! The people want a shutdown if Republicans won’t negotiate terms. Don’t be a coward!
Trump already owns the longest government shutdown in history and Ds wouldn't have got a damn thing for voting to re-open government had they shut it down.
Trump simply doesn't care about other people's pain.
Although Schumer makes some valid arguments, Trump and Musk are going to do what they’re going to do. The difference is, do you want to be on the record as condoning it or not? Legally, you have a much better case if you do not.
“Distraction” is what Trump would gain, then, per your analysis? Doesn’t sound that big of a win for him. Seems like a politician’s short-term answer, handling fires. Not sure that’s what we need this time. Unity and sending a message sound better.
He just doesn't get it. But we do and we will remember EVERY Democrat who votes for this bill. I will not donate to a single sitting Dem this year or next but I will donate to primary challengers for anyone who votes yes on this bill. And unlike, @schumer.senate.gov I keep my promises.
Donald Trump hopes to keep everyone in Congress scared out of their pants! If democrats do not stand up and shout, then those Republicans that, in secret, despise Trump and Musk ra*ing government will NEVER stand up with you! Schumer is wrong! Force the GOP to work with you or get out of Congress!
Trump doesn't own anything and the legacy media doesn't provide a clear and accurate description, explanation, and or reason for the 💩 he's been doing. Trump will blame democrats for everything anyways. The shut down would be his own doing. Democrats know this. Who cares what magats think?
We're the US, we own it all, we're the ones stuck with it. What an idiot thinking "Trump owns" the problems, so he can ignore them. It's always trying to win the message, not stopping the carnage.

@schumer.senate.gov until yesterday, repeatedly: "We're going to fight for Americans". @schumer.senate.gov in the last 24 hours: "Let's just play nice on this one, it's probably for the best."
While the orange POS may own the cratering economy, plunging stock market and drastic cuts to government services-you vote for this and you’ll now own it too.
So instead not letting trump not be able to shit all over Americans, Schumer is going to vote to just allow him to? How the hell does that make any sense?
How fucking stupid is he? He sure thinks we all are idiots- fuck where does a Democrat go now? I want a fighter who understands the stakes and the realities and this bullshit sure isn’t it
So, Chuck, tell us how voting for the CR stops any of the activity you enumerated? You are collaborating with a tyrant bent on destroying the nation. If you are worried about Dems being blamed for the shutdown, then get your presses rolling to tell the people the truth. Shame on you.
You mean from his awful agenda that Dems are in no way stopping? Just sitting back and watching as their voters get fired or jailed?!
STOP DONATING TO THIS WORTHLESS PARTY
Schumer has forgotten more about politics than I’ll ever know.
So explain to this caveman,
how his actions will help the cause of democracy?
From the cheap seats we see another weakling democrat playing by outdated rules. We want to see a mess in DC, bc it’s already plenty messy for us normals.
And you are letting him do all this damage and hope for the best. Where is the democratic unity of purpose? Why is no one trying to stop Trump from destroying the country?
Yup. Trump owns all of it and is proud that he owns it. He is going to deliver those tax cuts with or without a distracting shutdown. So Schuma, NOW is the time to stop him, not later. Please explain why you oppose a shutdown. I bet if you asked those who will be furloughed, most will say 'do it'
Eyes wide open people, destination has been reached - the dictator shit show Just because they don't have enough people to do it everywhere, all the time, doesn't make it a "slippery slope" or being "on the verge" of fascism Are the Dems all waiting for the open-air executions to actually call it?!
This guy really just does not know what is happening in his country does he? Bernie, aic, jasmine et al. Split from these losers and be the opposition that people need right now
Got to hand it to Schumer it’s not easy to make Neville chamberlain look like a tough guy and yet here we are…..this is the night Schumer handed turnip his one party state.
Why doesn't he explain why he does not want a shutdown. It sure isn't because trump will use it as a distraction. We know what he's doing. The distraction seems to be the elected dems doing nothing but avoiding a confrontation. NOW is the time to confront.
That is what I am confused about. From what I understand, this CR is really bad. His reasoning for supporting it are not good enough if that CR is that bad. I think their plan really is to let the GOP do whatever they want and hope the consequences are bad enough that people turn on the GOP.
Isn’t this exactly what is already happening? I truly don’t understand this. Isn’t this CR like really bad? Also, didn’t Schumer just say yesterday that he wasn’t voting for this? What happened? How is a shutdown worse than what is already happening or what is in that bill?
Schumer & the Dems can’t win either way they deal. Let them abstain from voting in protest, but that will prolong the distraction like a slight of hand trick. Time is of the essence with this whole debacle.
How hard was it to say the Republicans have a majority. If they want this CR the can use their 53 votes to change arcane Senate rules and keep the government open.
After further research, I now have a better understanding of what @schumer.senate.gov did. I now agree that he made the better choice by avoiding a shutdown.
This thread provides an excellent, detailed explanation:
Schumer is aiding Trump's fascist takeover by Obeying in Advance. The long-term consequences of his timidity are far worse than what Trump may try to do during a shutdown. This is a monumentally bad decision, and I can only hope other Democratic Senators are wiser than Schumer is.
Maybe I'm naive, or just stupid, but I don't understand the thought process here. Trump is going to gut all those things regardless, so what is the point of just caving? Fight like hell til the end! Don't roll over and play dead. But you do what benefits you, chuck. Fuck us.
Yes, it fucking sucks- but we can’t scream about all these federal workers losing their jobs and then scream at Chuck Schumer for trying to prevent thousands more from getting furloughed for god knows how long. You know who got us into EVERY GODDAMNED MESS were in? Republican voters.
Non voters bear quite a bit of responsibility for this, too. Not paying attention to our politics because “it’s too negative” opens the door to tyranny.
And I’ll tell you what else: I’m getting real goddamned sick of all the edgelords screaming about Schumer and Jeffries when I know they damn well refused to vote for Kamala Devi Harris. We’re in a real fucking pickle, now huh????
When will Congress stop kicking the can down the road and DO their damn job? Imagine if the rest of the working class people in America just put off doing part of their jobs. You supposedly "work" for us. So how about doing some work?
Any Senator that votes to allow cloture or votes to pass this CR that gives more power to Elon and Trump to shutdown more of the gov will not get my support in future elections.
I'm 70 on SS, I don't have much but will fight you.
Schumer is the New York Gabbard. Can't get voted in as a GOP Senator in the Empire State? Join the Democrats and play along until it's time to reveal your true DINO self.
He would still own all of it even if there is a shut down. Get your asses out of your leather seats and SAY SOMETHING! JFC - this is not hard. A 30 day shut down will not really impact anything anymore than what DOGE has already done.
Could someone please explain why Schumer is afraid of confrontation? Does have any convictions that he’s willling to fight for? Or does he just see everything as a negotiation?
This is nonsensical thinking. Why would voters react any differently than they have to every single previous shutdown? Once voters appreciate what they actually need the federal government for, they get angry at the party (Republicans control all three branches of govt) that caused the shutdown.
Why would he cave now? At the very least, take the GOP into the weekend and negotiate something for the Dems! He’s the worst leader/negotiator ever and needs to resign.
He needs a nut sack.He needs to be removed.He doesn't have the balls for the job.Everybody's telling him not to vote for it and he don't want to listen to The American people either.He needs to be removed from that job.democrats.Better get their act together.Or we're not going to have a democracy

YOU OWN THE CHAOS
WHY can't YOU STAND with your party?
All of you need to give up your DEMOCRATIC STATUS, just say you are REPUBLICANS
Schumer needs to resign his leadership. Today
They’re actually worse and more accountable than Trump voters.
And they should never be forgiven.
How’s it working out for them now?
Chuck is sliding America into a dictatorship.
This is how Hitler took power in 1933. A paper Reichstag relinquished any power it once had.
Thanks for helping the Nazis, Chuck. Fool.
@democrats.senate.gov
Let me make this clear.
