Not one confirmation was fought. This is the first time in history a president got all of his nominees through the senate. Schumer and all these other must go. |
You are a maga appeaser not a democrat. Go back to your cult leader! |

Schumer is a democrat, AOC is a progressive. I am a democrat. I despise Trump. Grow up |
That's what happens when the President has a majority in the Senate, genius. |
Democrats stand for nothing so disappointing |
The CR is last year's budget.
Trump wants to shut down government. The CR makes Trump's illegal shutdown activities continuing illegal, instead of giving him the elimination of funding that he wants. The House Democrats were being coy with their protest votes No, because their votes DID NOT MATTER at all. They couldn't shut down government, so they could put on of show of pretending they wanted to shut it down. Trump and the Rs are doing a fine job turning the whole country against them with their mismanagement, CE or not. Rs will pass laws to rein in or mpeach Trump (unlikely) or face backlash at reelection time. This is what is possible within the laws governing Congress. The rest of the resistance has to happen to outside Congress, in the streets and at Tesla dealerships. |
They literally voted against DOGE, the firing, and against Project 2025. Do you know what a CR is? Unlike you, Trump, and Congressional Republicans, Senate Democrats know what the law is, and know that a (barely) functioning government is more important than creating more chaos (chaos that is exactly what Trump wants). |
You think that people, who currently support Trump, will blame Trump if Democrats intentionally shut down the government with the express intent of hurting those people? Think, a little. |
Shouting the government down never hurt Rs anyone for dozens of times they’ve done it. Schumer bent the knee. He is complicit. |
Neat. What does that get us? |
DP. A court opinion saying that cutting USAID funding violated the constitution, two TROs rescinding unlawful firings, a PI (I think?) against a de facto unconstitutional bill of attainder, etc. That's just this week. There will be more. |
Nope. Senate Democrats got us none of that. Quit gaslighting. |
Agree that democrats are having a hard time being all things to all people.
OP, if the Schumer had shut the government down, how does that hurt Republicans? How would it end? It would have more likely backfired on Democrats even more. |
Democrats would NOT be shutting down the government! They simply wouldn't be helping the Republicans. The Republicans are in the majority. Passing a budget is there job. If they dont have enough votes to pass it on their own, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE. The dems required nothing of them, not a single concession. They didn't require them to negotiate. They simply rolled over. They are NOT fighting for us or this democracy. The sooner some of you realize this, the sooner we can start to fight. There is no excuse for this. |
