Chuck Schumer now owns the shutdown

[gfm7175]

Not when a bill takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass. You sure are a dumbass.

Bingo. He truly is! That doozy of his is being considered for a "thooper thmart perthun award" at the end of the month. There's already been some real doozies from others, so he might not get on the podium, but at least he pawtithipated nonetheless.

It is a 2 step process.

There's more than 2 steps involved.

First the House.

... and the House has passed the CR bill. Now it's being brought up in the Senate.

The Dems do not do shutdowns.

They're considering "shutting down the government" as we speak... in order to "save the government" or something...

The Trumpys have not allowed any real Dem input.

"The Trumpys" "have the majority in the House and Senate" atm... remember??
"The Dems" "don't do shutdowns"... remember??

@Into the Night -- You're right... Democrats really DO ignore their ENTIRE history, especially what they last posted.

They are doing President Musk and Donald's bidding.

Nordy doesn't understand how government works. President Trump heads the Executive Branch, not the Legislative Branch.

There are no good-faith negotiations.

... with Democrats? Correct.

The Dems cannot be expected to vote for a bill that does damage to the country.

Okay. Then Dems should refuse to vote for it, choosing to cause a "government shutdown" instead. I'm perfectly okay with that.

Johnson arrogantly says you have to vote for it or be like Reds and become a party that blows things up.

Dems don't have to vote for it. They can cause a "government shutdown" instead. I'm okay with that.

The Dems cannot help the super-rich get even more p[power and money.

The Dems ARE a subset of the so-called "super-rich". That's why many of them have made a career out of politics fleecing the American taxpayer. You bitch about the "super-rich", yet you keep voting the "super-rich" into office each and every chance you get.

Ever wonder why comedians look to Congress for much of their source material?

It's definitely easy pickins.

Al is retarded.

60 votes are needed for cloture. Since there are only 53 R's in the Senate, that means that the D's hold the power to force a "shutdown" or not, as they can choose to "stick together" and keep R's from getting the 60 votes necessary for cloture.

Nerdsperg is retarded.

Schumer has caved.

Maybe Democrats realized they don't want a shutdown because people might notice everything functions normally without the federal government at work.

Schumer: "As bad as passing the CR is, as I said, allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown, is a far worse option. First, a shutdown would give Donald Trump an Elon Musk carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now, under a shutdown. The Trump administration would have full authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff with no promise they would ever be rehired."
