Since mine is FOTUS’ new best buddy, Fetterman, it won’t do any good. I’ve left messages asking him not to vote to pass his & Musk’s monstrosity and we know how much good that did.
Weak sisters! Schumer, you're old enough to remember the adage, "Nice guys finish last." In electing Trump voters said they don't like weakness. Namby-pamby democrats holding signs and pressing their kerchiefs to their noses really isn't attracting uncommitted voters! Dinosaur, read the fucking era!
No, Chuck and the others who votes didn't throw USA under the bus. It was those who thought they wanted a savior-in-chief/felon/con who voted for the white dud. They got their wish. Now let's drain the bottom of America's maga washpot. What say ye?👂👂🕛🕛AM
Unfortunately Senate terms run 6 years, so it'll be a while. As for Fetterman, his health issues may take him out of the equation before he's up for reelection.
Most of them are older, several of them may not make it.
There are ways:
resignation, death, expulsion, incompatible.
Since he's working both sides, expulsion is probably out.
He may not resign but it may be awfully stressful for him. I think he has made a lot of enemy's, at least on the Dem side.
WHY IS THE ENTIRE WORLD ALLOWING TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LEAD AND BULLY?! STOP THEM!!! GIVE US ALL AN EFFIN BREAK?! ANYONE?!!! SHAME ON US ALL FOR ALLOWING TWO MEN TO DO THIS! LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU?’
We're sick of weak people like these democrats - Senate Minority Leader Schumer
Senator Fetterman
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto
Senator Brian Schatz
Senator Dick Durbin
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Senator Gary Peters
Senator Maggie Hassan
Senator Jeanne Shaheen
Senator Angus King
Dems are so dumb. The story going into recess is now the Internal dem fight instead of the Republican budget that puts billionaires over benefits. We are so fucking bad at politics it makes me want to cry.
Democrats where the hell
Are you ?? Especially the ones that voted not to have a government shut down !! It’s we the people not you ! We are in danger of losing our democracy and you’re playing nice !! Stop it !! This is why the other side shits all
Over us !! Stop cow towing !!! Ugh 😩
Do you not understand that there are no more parties? It is all one party now. The party of Trump. It was made abundantly clear during the state of the union address. When no one walked out after Al Green, then ten voted to censure...and no one spoke up...yeah...
New party required! Trump did it! In the UK the electorate are so sick with the Tories/ Labour over immigration, that the bloody Reform Party ( Maga UK version) is ahead. Need an alternative with a sane immigration policy. USA,EU,UK ones don't work anymore. Pretty darn obvious.
@schumer.senate.gov needs to resign. He does not speak for the democratic party anymore. He sold Americans out to Trump and Musk by voting with the republicans for this CR.
The Dems white flag vote today is a tacit acknowledgement that they are out of their league when it comes to communicating the narrative. Time for the Dem dinosaur's lugnuts to get an overhaul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIRJ7Tqj-tI
Someone please help educate me, but IF this didn't pass wouldn't the Republicans in Senate be able to pass a new bill with just 51 votes w/o this whole filibuster fiasco. So couldn't they have made the next bill a lot worse? Either way it would be a Trump win, but is this bill a little safer?
Of course I think the message that dems will stand against Trump by shooting this down would have been super powerful. By voting this through it does make the democratic party look weak (as they did during the election period and Trump pt 1)
The Democratic Party is at rock bottom. Voters are furious. Leadership is MIA. Trump and Musk are running the show. Some Democrats are fighting back, not enough. Time is running out. This isn’t just a crisis, it’s a reckoning. Will they step up or fall apart?
I understand the rationale for what they did but sometimes you gotta just check the temperature and read the room. Democrats needed to make a statement here. Even if it went about their better instincts. They needed to show the people they were the party that would fight with them. Colossal fail.
You need to stop BS ing that this is a left/right thing. This is cowardice and incompetence vs passion and fighting back for the people. Unless you want to start calling people like Rick Wilson, Adam Kinzinger and Michael Steele “The Left”.
I can’t believe the government shutdown would have lasted too long since Trump knows that stock market volatility could trigger a negative reaction from investors, potentially leading to an economic slowdown. Everything else would be manageable for a short time.

What is their rationale? $$$
I expected Fetterman and Gillibrand to vote against the party, what a disgrace they are.
Maybe we need new senators. I hope they remember this next election day.

Time for new leadership. Also, someone primary Schumer. Fucking sellout, @schumer.senate.gov.

Care about Golden Rule and about rules of Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes.
When you do not care about others, Golden Rule and Rules of Leviathan govern.
