  1. No. That is a lie. That is Schumer propaganda. Legitimizing Trump's actions and giving Trump all he wants or giving Trump a big problem by shutting down the government. So give Trump everything he wants. But that is not even counting the enormous and fatal damage he is doing to his own party.
  2. Yeah. It is over. We got sold out y'all. Trump got everything he wanted for nothing. Just threaten the money of the Democrats donors and they will surrender completely. Schumer was all "we will win! we will win!" then surrendered at the first battle. This yes vote was opposed by virtually everybody in the party. We just got betrayed.
  3. He was handed a gift. The opportunity to fight back. And instead he allowed himself to be outmanuevered and put into a position to sign off on all of Trump's actions. When Schumer is pretending that Trump could do things in a shut down he could not do without a shut down, he is lying. Trump is already doing whatever he wants. Just now it will all be legal and he will not have to deal with the problems of a shut down. This was done because Schumer cares about his big donors on Wallstreet and stabilizing the markets. His excuses are just that. Now it is the Democrats and Republicans who are dismantling the government and cutting benefits. Now Trump has bipartisan support. Schumer is in favor of Trump and his actions because he wants to save the stock markets for Wallstreet. So thanks for cutting Medicaid Democrats.
  4. So we need to threaten them with violence to get them to represent us? Is that what they are saying?
  5. France at least fought for six weeks before surrendering.
  6. A giant shit would do a better job being Senate Minority leader.
  7. I think this is one of those bills where you have to be steeped in right wing moral panic mongering to get it. I think this is about the legend of kids identifying as cats and having litter boxes in school or some shit like that. But I don't know for sure.
  8. This bill would legitimize what Trump is doing, violate the separation of powers of the Constitution and slash benefits. It isn't just keeping the government open. And under those terms, you might as well shut it down.
  9. We already have Chuck Schumer, how more mediocre a white man is there?
  10. He also didn't really solve wokeness or DEI during his first term either.
  11. If this was just a tariff on wine, that would be weird but very manageable. It's no big deal. But giant tariffs like that are going to lead to retaliation. It is going to lead to hardship in many areas.
  12. Oh God. You are probably wrong but I hope this is true. I have hope, that doesn't usually work out for me.
  13. Give up on everything. Because they are going to swoop back to power in the midterms and in 2028 you see and...accomplish nothing at all and basically let all of Trump's actions slide. I have seen this movie before. If they had no plan for Trump's presidency and no plan for this bill and do nothing but sit around and react incompetently to every trap laid for them, do we really think they are going to be able to radically, quickly, and effectively reshape the wrecked government and economy that Trump would hand them even if they did win? They will have no plan and no vision at all.
  14. Well that is the most unsurprising yet most depressing thing I have ever read. What the fuck? You senile old incompetent buffoon!! You had no plan, no strategy? You just fucking assumed EVERYTHING WOULD MAGICALLY WORK OUT FOR YOU!!!11 Schumer's strategy was FUCKING WISHFUL THINKING?! He should be in prison for criminal negligence. And then he schemed to trick his caucus into voting for the bill by some easily discoverable bullshit? Is there any way short of murder we can get rid of this guy? A Republican double agent couldn't do a better job.
  15. At least he held firm...but of course he could hold firm and it wouldn't actually do anything because he didn't have the votes. Schumer does have the votes so he won't.
  16. Oh it is far worse than that man. If this was just a simple stop gap funding bill and the Democrats simply failed to extract any concessions from this situation that would be one thing. That would be shameful. But this is not that situation. The Republicans are extracting massive concessions to the Democrats and threatening them to get them to accept those concessions and vote yes. The Republicans are going to slash funding to benefits including Medicaid, they are unconstitutionally transferring taxing authority to the President. And if the Democrats do not vote for this, they are threatening that DOGE and Musk will dismantle the Federal Government while it is shutdown because the courts will not be functional. But Musk and Trump are going to do that anyway and the courts are always two steps behind. I mean with a threat that dire the Democrats absolutely should refuse to play ball and demand all the unconstitutional shit and all the benefit reductions are removed. Those aren't concessions, just a demand for the status quo which is insane when the status quo is Trump and Musk destroying the government unconstitutionally anyway. But they aren't even getting the current status quo. They have been outplayed, outflanked, and totally politically crushed. They have no plan, no fight, no nothing. So they are going to give concessions to the Republicans and fold. And now when Trump is doing all this shit, he will have Democratic votes supporting him. And for what? For Trump to do all this shit anyway? Let him gut the government. Don't vote for unconstitutional bills. Don't vote to slash benefits. This is important enough to take a stand on. Granted, they haven't even done it yet AFAIK. So I will hold back my outrage just a bit.
  17. Nothing had happened yet, I don't think.
  18. We are their gauntlet! Well the first third of it.
  19. Well at least he admits it is real and caused by human action. Just not going to do anything about it. I like how we spent trillions fighting wars in Africa and the Middle East on behalf of fossil fuels but it is trying to use clean energy that "imposed endless sacrifices on our citizens" yeah ok. I will take those sacrifices over American soldiers getting their limbs blown off in forever wars so the spice must flow.
  20. The Democrats have conditions the Republicans must meet to get their votes. Don't back down until they are met.
  21. Right. Which is why ultimately he will not last long in office.
  22. Yeah. Even a deranged Democrat is better than another ideological right wing nutcase being there. But I have a feeling he won't last long in this office as he tries to get industry to go along with this stuff.
  23. Really interested to see if going on the road gets the offense going again. Since the Louisville game, Texas has scored at least 10 in every game away from Disch-Faulk.
  24. Whatever. We have Jared Spencer. Reality is going to set in for Mississippi State on Friday, not us.
