The Democratic Party has no leadership and has not had for too many years. Until Dems find a spine and unite their colleagues and voters, fascism will reign and grow as the nation itself implodes economically, morally, and leadershipwise. Politics today is fueled by petty greed among a few billionaire nerds, who like Trump, are bullies with no real friends - just allies and sycophants who want in on their action. As I posted yesterday, there really are no political parties today.
Schumer did offer reasons for not shutting down the government, which he did explain. However, he failed to appreciate the temper of the voting public and missed an opportunity to channel rage into unity. Not all Dems are deaf - Sanders, Warren, AOC for instance. But party unity is best exemplified by dorky DINO Fetterman who should have been expelled from the party the day he left Mar a Lago.
My immediate reaction to Schumer's "Yes vote" was WHAT!!?? Then I did some reading and realized that, if the government did shut down, it would allow the Orange S.O.B. to destroy our government faster and even more out of sight. OK.
Here is another distasteful reason to keep the government working. I prefer to think about who will be protected, rather than who gains:
I don't want to give them any ideas. But I lived through times when judges were not deemed "necessary" to govenment functions, when our entire staff was included, etc.
I was involved in litifgation vs Obama's DOL -- and we lost. BTW we were never repaid for the time lost.
Yes, follow the money. There is a reason he flipped at the last minute. I agree with Thom, he has to go. I'm done with holding the party together mentality, this is how we got here to begin with. As for Trump, I'm not a Trumper but I have to give him credit, he lied about A LOT, but not about what he was going to do when in office.
He stated 'Dictator on Day One' and this is what we are getting, can't say he lied about that, and I know that with all the voter purges etc. he technically did not win, but he still had 77 million votes!
He DID lie. His strings are being pulled by Koch's A.L.E.C. , the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, Leonard Leo. You haven't heard from any of these groups since the election, have you?? They are NOT on vacation. The goal is to eviscerate the government and PRIVATIZE EVERYTHING. A Libertarian's dream. The Post Office is on its way, Social Security also, The Weather Service. They are firing all the meteorologists ... who do you think will be forecasting hurricanes?? Why a private company will be selling its services to the government and making a healthy profit.
My point is, he stated he was going to do all of that during his rally’s, and then I’m not even mentioning the fact that he incited an insurrection. The fact that he was even allowed to run is HUGE. He promised retribution, he stated dictator on day one - given the history what else do we need to know?I don’t have to wake up, I’m fully awake thank you.
Tom, Chucks reasons were specious. He said that he was afraid of what Trump might do, if the CR wasn't passed (then like a hypocrite pulled some Kabuki theater and voted no on the CR,.
Fact is that he knows it, I know it, you know it, all of us know it, that regardless of the CR Trump would continue doing bad things and destroying our government..
His excuse was "the dog ate my homework" fallacious. Trump got to him, either by calling him a Palestinian or not a Jew, or by his usual MO, blackmail. He has dossiers on everyone, why do you think Graham and Rubio lined up to kiss his ass, and Rubio endures humilation.

Trump is already shutting down our country and in broad daylight at that. What more harm could he do if the CR wasn't passed.?
I will answer my own question. Nothing, nada, zilch
You are right but I think it will be faster and farther from sight!
I don't want to give them any ideas. But I lived through times when judges were not deemed "necessary" to govenment functions, when our entire staff was included, etc.
I was involved in litifgation vs Obama's DOL -- and we lost. BTW we were never repaid for the time lost.
I'm afraid you don't know what you don't know.
My thoughts exactly.

Arby;s got the meats, but Trump has the goods.
