It's funny how Chuck Schumer tried to make up for his spineless capitulation by moving the goalposts and claiming he'd finally do something when Trump defies the Supreme Court, and it took Trump, like, a couple weeks to get to doing that.

What was Schumer supposed to do? What good would shutting down the government have done? Johnson can't even call for a vote on Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'.
Fair enough, Schuster says no deal, Republicans shut down the government, now what? Republiucon hearts grow 2 sizes, not fucking likely, admit their error and all is well? I don't see any of that happening, the government gets shut down, and many people get hurt, for what? What do we get?
We get an opposition party. We get leverage. We get the Democrats going on TV everyday to say that the Republicans are hurting people by not coming to an agreement.
But it doesn't matter, because he caved. So now what we get is a new minority leader.
Democrats are going out there every day saying Republicons are hurting people. Where is this leverage coming from, people getting hurt? Do you believe Republcons would care? People are being hurt now and it doesn't seem to bother them. What's the state of the CR, currently?
But Rebeccaaaaa you don't understand! Immigration didn't poll well in 2024 and it's his job to turn seats! His hands are tied, you see. Basic ethics? Sense of morality? Overwhelming public support for fixing the deportation "mistakes?" Not his problem.
if i recall correctly the next step is... ours, when we take to the streets. presumably Senator Schumer will be right behind us, at least that's what he said

Well, an old cobra. But wise! An old, wise cobra. Who doesn't really strike, it's more like a poke. A measured, stately poke.
