Shame on him and the others. They have lost all trust and credibility. He does not own his seat. He does not employ us. We employ him. He and the others handed the bully his candy and ball on a silver platter. Shame on him and Dick Durbin. It’s almost unbelievable, they have shown us exactly who they are, spineless, lacking any moral courage and completely ineffective . Both must go.

I’m just a woman who’s father at the age of 19 flew a B26 300 feet above the ground during WW2 so you have the freedom to say and write what you want. That plane was called The Widow Maker.

Thank God for people like your dad. My 3 brothers all served in Viet Nam. The oldest one also served in Korea. These namby pambys just run their mouths.

Your father as well as others are the true heros of America and deserve respect and honored as such. The same as the working women, who worked with little pay during the wars when there wasn't enough manpower. Thank you.

I live in Connecticut and am a former New Yorker. Does that make me a country bumpkin? What exactly matters where you live and what you believe? Do you know farmers in Midwest are being hurt? Trump and Musk are Putin puppets and are planning to destroy our democracy!

They see themselves as Oligarchs and so does his billionaire cabinet. The only people who are ok with all this Shit… is the wealthiest of our country because of tax cuts!! You’re an ass!!

Good on you for sticking it to that trailer trash magatard. If the mindless Trumpian KKKoolaid Zombies had any spine or genuine love for the USA beyond jingoism, they wouldn't let the Trump/Musk Cabal get away with trying to ruin our nation for the enrichment of a handful of hyper-wealthy people.

Huh, Pete. A lot of us “true suburban back yard liberals” are happier about being knowledgeable, informed, and levelheaded than being blind, hicks-from-the-sticks MAGA conservatives.

Sounds like you know a lot about suburban back yard politics. Still waiting for your "yellow" trickle down? Don't lose hope. Keep licking.

Schumer needs to be taken down from minority leader and when he comes up for re-election we vote him out. Also the other nine senate democrats who for the CR. We don’t need those type of people representing us. Because frankly they don’t care about us

I looked that up only the senate can boot him out. We as citizens cannot recall senators or representatives.

His Wall Street benefactors told him not to vote to close the government. We all know democrats feed from the same trough as republicans and this country is truly an Oligarchy.

I am not donating another dime to the Dems. I am fuming over what Sen. Schumer and the other 9 Dems did. You should be fighting for us not giving in to a wannabe strongman.

Trump wanted a shut down. He could then gut everything including the courts. Schumer did the right thing. Even though the bill is horrible, a shutdown would be much worse.

Walter Thiem's avatar

If this is true, Schumer, at the very least, played this issue very poorly. The Democratic voters had been primed for a shutdown. The consequences of a shutdown should have been known by party leadership for weeks. To pull this stunt at the last minute was really stupid move.

HarlynHannah's avatar

I agree. The government would never have reopened again and many agencies would have been shuttered indefinitely. Also would have given them ample info for what employees can be terminated if they were non essential. He had no good options

This is blowing up in all our faces. Benedict Arnold has nothing on this guy and 9 others who have gotten lost in their own personal well being and forgotten about their country at one of the most critical moments in 150 years.
