And one part that stuck out to me:
CNN: Inside and outside the Senate, Democrats begin to lose faith in Schumer
- Thread starter Morrison71
- Start date
And one part that stuck out to me:
Can him. You don't negotiate with terrorists. If someone burns down your garage you don't give them more fuel when they threaten to burn down your house.
Good he needs to go. Not effective at all.
Of course one of the big problems here is that it looks like most or all of them are just like Chuck Schumer. Don't have an ounce of fight in them. Don't have a clue about the gravity of the moment. All they want to talk about is egg prices while Trump destroys the administrative state, we see off-the-charts unprecedented levels of presidential corruption, and the country commits world leadership geopolitical suicide.
We need war-time consigliere's. Lots and lots of them, instead we've got these conflict averse wimps who don't even want to acknowledge the country is backsliding into fascism.

It turns people like me off towards Democrats. I'm as a reliable a democratic voter as you can get. I even vote in local elections. But when I see Hitler Junior running our country into the ground and weakling like Schumer let them, it frankly pisses me off.
This is what the donors have purchased. They want an obedient, republican lite, hapless, punching bag that helps advance the right wing agenda. They only fight if a progressive is making waves somewhere.
For me Dems need to oppose everything the Rs do and hit up rallies across the country every weekend. That's their new jobs. Say no in Washington and hit up every district in America laying into the Rs. Go to coffee shops, do interviews, go on local news.
Republicans won't face the people. Good. Fill that void. Lay these fvckers out.
So shutting down the government is good.
Folks on your side of the political spectrum have treated that as verboten…till now. Weird.
Same with the filibuster. GET RID OF IT…now, USE IT.
Weird 🤣

Hey dipshit, Rs have already shut down the government. Trump has killed everything from Veteran aid to humanitarian aid to the Department of Education to our nations parks. What else can he kill?
It's not running. Trump has laid off half the workforce. Where have you been?
JFC. You're going out of your way to be stupid. We're in a national emergency, Donald Trump is burning down the government and the country and our place in the world and the Democrats only leverage to influence events was the threat of a government shutdown. Now that's gone.
And FFS on the filibuster, I still support getting rid of it, Senate democrats cited this exact type of situation for why the filibuster needed to be retained but when given an opportunity to utilize it decided to fold anyway. It is a tool that apparently only the Republicans will ever use, because the current Democrats are too damn conflict averse and wussy to ever use it themselves. So why not get rid of it? I'm sure the Republicans sure as hell will if it ever impacts something they really really want.
You've been told over and over and over where this is headed and you absolutely for sures will still pretend to be gobsmacked when everything goes to total shit in the next several years.
National parks have already been essentially closed. Thousands of families who have the freedom to enjoy our parks under Biden no longer have this ability. Trump's draconian cuts have denied many of their rights to visit our parks and take in their natural beauty.
Got anything better than “the street.com”?
National parks are open from what I’m seeing.
With a skeleton crew to maintain them and virtually nobody to let them in, they aren't in reality. Thousands can't even get in because they don't even have the staff to let them in. Why are you so gd obtuse?
As of today, March 15, 2025, there are no system-wide alerts or closures for National Parks, but some individual parks or facilities may have specific closures or alerts, so it's best to check the National Park Service website or app for the most up-to-date information.
It’s not normal. Trump sucks.Everything's fine! Everything is normal!
Dems should concentrate on his dipshit Tariff policies.
This just shows you don’t know what’s going on. Congress could block Trump tariffs before the budget was passed.
Now that the budget passed, it gave Trump powers, that congress can longer overturn the tariffs.
This is why so many “far left”people wanted to block this.
And that is what you want, and that is why so many people wanted Chuck out.
It sounds like you need to join us far left folks. It’s never too late.
Fair enough.
If I was a D strategist I’d be talking stock market and tariffs non stop. Just saying.
Talk about folks 401k’s.
Don’t need to shut down the government to do that.
Just giving Trump and the R’s an out if you do that IMO
I really think Schumer's actions signal that he wants to give Musk and Trump enough rope to hang themselves so that the Dems retake both the House AND Senate in 2026.
He can say Republicans had complete control.

This won't work well if he deflates voters enough that they no longer want to vote Democratic.
Schumer is an idiot. These dems are morons, I hope Trump locks them all up, then maybe they will get it.
Just spineless morons, and I won’t forget it.
Just spineless morons, and I won’t forget it.
I’m sure that’s what he’s thinking but there is too much collateral damage to sit by and let it happen
