I agree, but the house would vote it down and Trump would veto it. Shutdown also shuts the courts. No cases against DOGE and Musk, not sure judges are essential workers.

reply

craigsm.bsky.social•13 hours ago

And the fight would start over but with a shut down government now and a GOP House on leave. Not a great look. No power was ceded. That would have been excellent actually. Pressure completely on Spk Johnson.
Also, aren't these the same courts that are currently being ignored by the administration?

That's exactly what should have happened. Schumer must resign as a leader because he isn't doing his job. He can say whatever he wants to cover for himself, but I don't believe him. After 50 years as a Democrat, I am seriously thinking of becoming an Independent.

reply

ksgator.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Sounds great in theory. In practice, we were out of time. There was no way a clean 4 week funding bill would make it to the floor. The R’s deliberately slowed this down to the last minute. We were out of moves. A government shutdown adds to the pain and gives the executive more power.

lag33037.bsky.social•13 hours ago

We all would have preferred it BUT that wasn't going to happen. Reality was the republican house passed its bill without any bipartisan effort then immediately went into recess. So no modifications from the Senate would be addressed. End result, government shuts down. 1/

lag33037.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Filibuster in the Senate not effective since government shutdown would automatically take effect at midnight. If government shutdown occurred, trump is handed emergency powers that he doesn't currently have. He would declare every federal employee as non-essential effectively firing them all. 2/

reply

kmikazu.be•11 hours ago

I didn’t take it that way. He just said the next 4 years are going to be horrible, he didn’t say we still have 4 years time to fight. He and Fanone and others always ask to fight NOW, because they realize even the midterms will no longer be free if they don’t act now.

reply

taylortotts.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Even referring to the next 4 years suggests he thinks Trump will cede power at the end of his term. Many ppl are still talking like this is temporary. It’s not. He’s not going to obey the courts. This is an all out COUP. In progress. Right now.

reply

Yes!!! Time to chuck Schumer. He seems afraid of Trumpty Dumpty. But as we all well know:

Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Trumpty together again. 🤷‍♂️

Harry, I am as mad at Chuck as anybody but could it possibly be that the Republicans wanted us to shut it down? Like locking the bank with the thieves inside? I trying to understand what's going on but i know "No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched."

Yes, it's time the younger members of Congress step up and LEAD US. They are the ones who have the true voices now. THEY are the ones who will need to clean up this mess in order to have their democracy again. MY generation has FAILED. I am DEEPLY ASHAMED we did. THANK YOU HARRY FOR SAYING THIS.

The more you think about his reasoning, the stupider it becomes. Do you think Mitch McConnell would have done this? Hell no! He would not give an inch. But this man is not built for this time. Senate Democrats need to replace him regardless of his seniority status.

He said that voting to shut down the government would give Trump the 'keys to the city, the states and the country'. Wake up-he already has the keys. We were counting on your vote against the outrageous budget, asking you to not put gas in the tank. You just filled it with high octane Mr Schumer.

IMO, it would be even better if the Dem caucus called a vote and ousted him. It would temporarily weaken the party, but it would rip off the bandaid and put the fighters in charge. Relegate these weaklings to the back benches until they are voted out.

You said what everyone is ignoring. The R’s waited until the last minute to get this budget bill done. We were up against a deadline. Do people really think that if the D’s shut it down they would blame anyone but the D’s? Fox would have a feeding frenzy. Fighting a “shut down” bill is lose-lose.

Altho the party who shuts down always gets the blame, imagine how this one would have ever reopened! We don’t have the votes. We didn’t have the votes to force another solution. the real fight is in September when a real budget is due. Republicans will be fighting themselves.
