Sen. Cortes-Masto is my senator, and I was preparing to send her a message today to express my anger about her vote until I heard Barbra Boxer's explanation for that position. I have felt for a long time that Schumer and others were too weak and worried about protocol. But I have also worried that it is a mistake for Democrats to attack our own people. Boxer said that the danger of having a shutdown was that Trump would use that as an opportunity to defang the courts, which are essential in keeping him in check. If he gets away with defying court orders that argument may be moot, and I am still inclined to believe that forcing a showdown with the R's is the only real option. We would be hoping that they would be blamed. But it is important to remember always that Democrats were put in this position because of the betrayal of Republican leaders, the media, and ignorant voters who believed what they wanted to believe. Attacking Schumer is not going to get us far. We need to keep reminding the public, including MAGA, that we were all betrayed by the economic royalists like Musk and the billionaires in Trump's cabinet, and the people must be protesting everywhere, every day, and the courts must start locking up Trump's attorneys for contempt. The people have been our only hope all along and it is crucial to show MAGA and the fence-sitters that they were used and betrayed by Trump.
How are we attacking our own people, when they are playing for the other side, Robert.
Barbara Boxers explanation and Schumers are fallacious and specious. Trump is, while I type, ignoring the Constitution, the Courts, judicial rulings and in broad daylight, how much more harm could he do, he has effectively destroyed all cabinet positions, Departments, including one that will make you happy, the Department of Education.
So somebody please tell me, what Trump could do in the dark, that he hasn't done in the daylight.?
Lots But I don't want to give them any ideas. I've laid some of this out previously. CJustice Roberts worked on it when he was in the Reagan administration. It may precude any vestige of democracy -- shared government.
They could have made their case for the vote, but didn't. Apparently they have not noticed that their voters are concerned about becoming Russia-like. Why would they notice when they are only in office to entertain themselves and make some $$? If they weren't ALWAYS so weak and such rollovers, AND if they had made the case, this might not be such a big deal. But I have been screeching about lack of leadership and strategy for well over 20 years and Pelosi and Schumer have collaborated to keep themselves in control - but the Party extremely weak.
