For sure. I know quite a few of his donors, professionally. It’s been a brutal week on Wall Street. If today they suffered another massive sell-off, the probability of a crash next week was exceedingly high. Still a real possibility. Yet, he chose them over us. Unreal.

* still not convinced you'll be having any more elections, though, tbh
And, when have you ever seen a Leader (including Schumer) in a shutdown, showdown fold the night before? And, not just folding: he wrote an evening Opinion piece in the @nytimes. Why? You keep your cards close until the very end.
Maybe too exposed? Something's missing

If you voted Trump/Vance you screwed the election and opened the door to anarchy!
What got us Trump are the whites who voted for him a second time even after 1 million died during his first watch and the indifferent assholes who could not be bothered to vote.
Not if you know who you're referring to. You're response should have been : "Again".
Mystery of Mediocrity,
United States Senatorial Edition.
Well done😃
You have won a pony.
Which is to say, it's likely more than one thing.
not to diminish any individual who suffers this egregious income inequality, a full depression widens & deepens that pain, for far more.
Suck a Dick! @durbin.senate.gov
Alison Schumer works for Meta (Facebook)!
Over 80 of his former staffers got prime jobs as lobbyists or employees for Big Tech companies.
On and on
Something up with her as well.
Gillibrand with GOP Sen Lummis introduced a bill promoting crypto even after she was warned that it would harm the American Public.👇
Gillibrand does what is good for tech bro donors and her investments.

Clearly his priorities are not with his oath of office, or the American people. Now, I wonder about the other senators that capitulated. 🤔😒
He is responsible for Dems right turn.
Knew it.
Time to go chuck.

The market eventually will reflect what the companies that underly stocks are really worth.
"When Everything Old is New Again"It is a story as old as time...Oligarchs vs. the Masses.

Happy now?
During a shutdown, the agencies can be closed until Republicans negotiate with Dems to fund.
FAFO when Republicans DON’T negotiate and the only agencies that are active are the military and police.
And for ALL the @dscc.bsky.social who voted to pass this CR @schatz.bsky.social @durbin.senate.gov Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortex-Maestro Hassan and King. RESIGN!
And for those that hid behind these pigs - SHAME ON YOU!
My OTHER senator is the wench who threw Al Franken under the bus so she could unsuccessfully run for president.
Who also voted Yes along with Schumer.
So New Yorkers are fucked. Sorry.
Okay, I was going to say "BITCH" but I figured some Leftie snowflakes would call me a misogynist because we progressives do circular firing squads better than anybody! So fuck it, that's the last time I worry about what other people think!😜
🖕
Second, he's off on the book tour. He only has to skate until 2028 (even if the Dems remove his sorry ass) and then 77 year-old Chuckie retires.
Phone calls? Ha. Yeah. Right.
So I just left Gillibrand's slot on the ballot empty. Never again 'til the day I die or leave NYS
"You chose him"? Not if Schumer had done this before the last time I did
This is how we roll (for some weird reason!)
During a shutdown, the agencies can be closed until Republicans negotiate with Dems to fund.
FAFO when Republicans DON’T negotiate and the only agencies that are active are the military and police.
And then, of course, hypothetically, when we even win in the Trump Supreme Court (???), Trump will simply back down and follow the law. He'll have the DoJ send marshals to enforce our courtroom wins...
... no offense, but are you fucking daft?
Only one potential problem I see. The Continuing Resolution just passed said something about the rest of the year will be known as "one day". Need to find out more.

that privilege and power. Is this bs?
Seems like two sociopaths running the country aren't going to be good for anybody.
Like, you won fair and square and all.
The market is tanking because an insane clown is in charge of the country and is burning the economy down. Schumer passing a CR is not going to change that.
I do.
If he was teetering, there is more to the story board than the checkers game we are seeing
Tag team stuff.
Can't be messing with the tour schedule! #FuckChuck
What else could it be?
The only branch holding the line are the courts
If the govt closes, the courts only run for two more weeks
Then, Trump is completely in charge. I guess 10 Dems think it's better to stay open & fight
Blame Obama & Biden voters who voted for men, but stayed home for women

Like we could totally roll up the wins without them, right?
I volunteered twice with a fantastic Dem candidate for the House. She spent hours every day on the phone, trying to line up thousands of dollars for her campaign.
Her opponent ...
She beat the crap out of him ...
The Buffalo News endorsed him with faint praise while conceding that she would make a wonderful congresswoman.
He won both races. Resigned in disgrace within a year. How'd such a flawed candidate win?
Money. ...
More people DIDN'T VOTE last year than voted for either candidate.
See what happens when we don't vote? Money wins!
FFS, THINK, man!
We really have no idea how he calculated that this was the way to vote.
Let's stop making ourselves angry over imaginary slights. Chuck had excellent reasons for not wanting to vote No:
- a shutdown would hurt the federal workers we keep saying we care about ...
"First they came for the trade unionists..."
If you cede the key ground you are sent to protect, every time, what does it matter if you “live to fight”?
I wonder if they think they should get Trump out of the picture?
I read the dumbest fucking shit on here all day, every day. The amount of UNformation that exists in people‘s minds is staggering.
But this is water under the bridge. The bottom line here is Schumer rolled over and there is no possible justifiable reason for that.
Keep a very close eye on Durbin. He’s up for re-election in 2026.
He’s also a legitimate billionaire with compassion that actually knows how to run a business. He’s basically the anti-Trump.
A shutdown would have hurt every day Americans & the Right plus media would blame Democrats.
He did this for us
Stock trading too!
Last I checked the job is to
SERVE THE PEOPLE!
Not sell books or get richer!
They just don't get it. 😒
WHO do you think these corporate politicians ON BOTH SIDES give their allegiance to? We, The People or They, The Donors???
Not exactly a mystery
This thread provides an excellent, detailed explanation:

Every day a new piece is being blown up.
So probably a showdown is better as it can leverage not yet compromised parts.
You are getting frog boiled there.
Time for him to go.
We're on a hamster wheel and we don't know how to get off.
The Democratic party needs a complete makeover and we have to get the career POS out.
And to think I was a libertarian once. If anything I’m more of a leftist because of all this bullshit
No endorphins!
No ego boost!
Toddlers to teenagers see right thru all the bullshit. They know who’s real.
If 90% of your time from 25yo-85yo is spent w/politicos & fundraisers, THEY are your family.
The answer is no.
Those considerations do not compute.
This is because when you spend 90% of your waking hours from the age of 25yo to 85yo w/politicos & fundraisers, THEY are your family.
I read that he & Krasnov have cryptocurrency in common.
Term limits, all $ out of govt. and abolishment of the Electoral College is the way.
He sold us out for nothing,
it's gonna happen anyway.
Trump will continue the rampage until the economy crashes.

Of course he bowed down to give them a blow job
The insane policies aren't going to magically go away. Schumer betrayed our entire future for a week of positive numbers.
