After Vowing That Democrats Would Shut Down the Government, Chuch Schumer Caves Completely

Chuck Schumer more like Cuck Schumer am i rite?

On Wednesday, this ridiculous pompous flabby tick vowed that Democrats would vote against cloture on the House-passed CR, thus shutting down the government.

Schumer's got his big fat flabby ass in a bind. On one hand, his left flank is as unreasoning and hate-filled as ever, and they demand he "fight" Trump on everything, and destroy the country if Trump says he wants to save it.

On the other hand, his left flank is wildly unpopular with the public, and obeying their petulant entitled demands has brought the Democrat-Communist Party to the brink of extinction.

So he decided to take his Clever Pills and settled on a plan:

First, he'd announce he was shutting down the government to block Trump's rush to "dismantle" the government.

BREAKING: Palestinian Senator Chuck Schumer indicates that the Democrats plan to shut down the government.

Legacy media will never share this, so let's make it viral!

You certainly all remember well that Schumer has previously declared that various shutdowns he blamed on the Republicans would essentially destroy the country.

But then, he'd announce he was not shutting down the government, because if the government shuts down Trump gets to decide who will be paid and who will be furloughed or fired, and so shutting down the government would help Trump "dismantle" the government.

Note that Schumer knew that a shutdown would work to Trump's advantage before he announced he would shut the government down. This isn't some breaking news he just found out about. Everyone knew for months that the Democrats had little leverage in a shutdown fight, because Trump would just rightly blame it on the Democrats who caused it, and Trump would be empowered to lay off tens of thousands of Democrat layabout bureaucrats.

But he wanted to show his left flank that he was "tough" and willing to "fight" Trump.

For twenty-four hours, at least.

Chuck Schumer now says he'll vote for the GOP bill to keep the government open. Ignore all his blather about how a shutdown would have helped Trump to further demolish the government. Schumer has caved.

Like all other Democrats, Schumer used to pretend to be interested in cutting waste, fraud, and abuse of the American taxpayer:

Chuck Schumer just posted that Elon is a liar for claiming that Social Security and Medicare have lots of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Chuck also says that any cuts in these programs by DOGE will reduce benefits.

House Democrats are "melting down" over Cuck Schumer's betrayal of the lunatic base.

For once, House Democrats are angrier with their own party than Donald Trump. It's ironic: the liberal media and the Democrats expected GOP disarray and chaos, and this shutdown fight sparked a civil war among themselves. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who Schumer is rumored to be wary of regarding a primary challenge, might have been given the push she needs to plan on that front.

Asked by CNN about fellow Democrats encouraging her to challenge Schumer, Ocasio-Cortez did not rule it out and said only that she was focused on keeping Dems from backing the funding bill: “We still have an opportunity to correct course here, and that is my number one priority.”

This is true and everyone knew it.

But the base demanded a show, and now Schumer is denying them the show.

For that, they will gripe about him before enthusiastically voting for him in the primary and general election next year.

Wouldn't they only shut down if they were deemed non-essential? Like, the military doesn't send everyone home in a shutdown. The FAA doesn't send everyone in a shutdown. Because they're essential. The administration just needs to prioritize spending with already available funds.

Yes, that's 100% true. A lot of court stuff, which is eventually essential, is considered NON-essential in shutdowns. Pretty much ALL civil actions fall in that (even immigration courts/actions).

Which is why it's never as easy as just "fire all non-essential" b/c previous admins set up the insanity that way...

Agreed. This doesn't seem like a real victory at all.

If the Dems were going to have to vote for the CR anyways, why not include the DOGE cuts and other cuts?

And if they said no, then Trump gets his shut down and the Dems need to defend shutting down the govt because they didnt want to cut waste, fraud and abuse.

This feels like the normal kabuki theater we've been dealing with going back to the Bush years.

31 I think there's going to be a major shakeup in the Democrat's ranks over the next several years. Like the GOP they've got a number of very elderly members who are just not up to the fight. Not because they're not leftist enough, but because they don't have the mental acuity to react fast enough anymore.

The speed at which info gets out to the public, is spun, then spun again is beyond their ability to cope.

This same sort of "shakeup" will/is happening to the GOP.

Why not? It's a win-win for the nit-wit. If Schumer forces a shutdown, he and Senate Dems are crushed. If Chuck folds (which he did), then the House Dems (who lost THEIR CR battle) can blame the weak Senate Dems.

What a gift to the GOP if House Dem progs vow to primary their Senate incumbents. I'm more and more optimistic for conservative chances in the Midterms.

Courts traditionally have been considered essential functions. Shutdowns have been theater for decades which was promulgated by the media.

If you go back to the Carter years, you will find multiple shutdowns because Congress has never been able to complete its budgeting decisions on time. Never. Same reason that the fed fiscal year runs from October instead of June like most of the states use. It was June for the Feds too but they never could get budget bills passed on time.

The 1974 Impoundment and Budget Act made things even more chaotic than the older system and is an example of goo goos not understanding the collective action problem of legislating.

A good part of Wilson's PhD dissertation topic and later his book (Congressional Government) was railing about how Congress could not do its primary job--the budget-- properly.

Isn't it amusing that the great unifying cause is shutting down the government? The left wants it because they're stupid and think it'll hurt Trump. Some, at least, on the right want it because they're, mildly, impatient and are aware it'll help Trump.

51 NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of Senator Schumer. Picture: https://tinyurl.com/yyu3jwpw

Wow. Us Democrats sure are good at fighting ourselves! Kudos everyone! 🙄

You're right. Why isn't Schumer on our side? Headline at Raw Story: Trump Thanks Schumer. Everything you need to know.

100 people is quite a few for a "pop-up" protest. visually letting someone know how you feel about an upcoming decision is a good thing. As long as it's constructive, peaceful and it isn't, "Hey, ho, Schumer has got to go"....I'm OK with it.

Glad to see this. Hope the public demands for Democrats to develop some guts get larger and more frequent. I'm a big believer in public humiliation, when it's called for.

Trump is using this to rub shit in our faces. God, if Trump is praising your actions, you've officially sold your soul. This alone should have made Schumer vote no.

Why are we forever blaming Democrats for the things Republicans do? Because we are afraid of Republicans. Easier to beat on their 'nice' Dem opponent.

The Dem party has its own internal battles between the corporate sellouts and the true leftist believers. They have used government money as the tie that binds them but if Trump and DOGE get rid of that unifying factor, you will see the commies, gimmedats, and corporate sellouts at each other's throats.

Something similar to that happened in the 00's with the Dems during the last term of Grover Cleveland carried into William McKinley/Roosevelt era. The Dem versions of populists versus those tied into Wall Street.

82 As for "why not DOGE and tax cuts in this bill"?

B/c DOGE isn't done, and you get one shot at reconciliation each year. And the tax cuts need DOGE and the tariffs to prove they will be revenue neutral (and thus able to be passed in reconciliation). Per the Byrd rule in the Senate - "Since the mid-1980s, Senate rules have prohibited including provisions in reconciliation legislation that do not change the level of spending or revenues or the debt limit".

So, Rs could NOT pass them now b/c they could never get 60 and RIGHT NOW, they don't have enough offsets for revenue neutrality. And it's very easy for Ds to stand on "Rs throwing Granny off the cliff with these cuts" to then put the Rs in the bind.

This was the R strength position. Later, they will still be in it once Elon is done...he was given 6 months to find all the cuts, which means a Sept bill...

That's part of it.

"We're shutting down the government to prevent Trump from firing people," (which was the argument they put forward) makes no sense if Trump can...fire everyone during a shutdown (which he can).

This isn't just a messaging problem for Democrats. It's an actual policy problem.

I'm pretty sure the left, since the start of the space age, Kennedy excepted, wants humanity to remain on this planet. Which could be an interesting philosophical discussion on whether humanity should be interplanetary. But the left also wants humanity to be miserable and under their thumb, so I'm thinking they probably don't have a good argument.

147 For Schumer to say Musk is lying about fraud waste and abuse in Social Security and Medicare is just insane. Every year, multiple times a year, the OIG and DOJ send out reports on all the fraud and abuse and press releases bragging about how much money they've clawed back that was fraudulently obtained. There are GAO reports up to his flabby neck spanning decades of documented areas of fraud, waste and abuse in Medicare and other programs. To say otherwise is like denying the sky is blue.

and without the federal regulations there would be no need for the subsidies leading to the increase in prices on cars people actually want in order to pay the indulgences so everyone can pretend they meet the regulations.

I'm very familiar with her district, I used to live in it.

On the Queens side of the river.

It's a combination of Puerto Ricans and other hispanics in the Bronx, immigrants from god knows where in Queens, and then a pocket of Irish and Irish Americans in Woodside and Astoria.

Oddly drawn district, some might say.

Which is why he wanted the CR done to Sept. this year despite some people pissing and moaning about it here.

Congressional calendar means FY 2024 budget process does not have enough time along with the FY 2025 budget to be done. We are better to have a complete regular order FY 2025 using reconciliation and recission than trying for fixing a budget that is already six months into it.

Recission bills for FY 2024 CRs are the proper fix for that as cutting targets are identified by DOGE are revealed because as you note above, they cannot be filibustered.

Republican office holders occasionally get in trouble for incompetence/graft - leftists never do.

Something I point out endlessly to leftist LIVs - if you are always going to vote for the D candidate in the general, and you don't vote in the primary, these candidates are incentivized to be as incompetent and corrupt as possible.

And the only response they can manage..."but I can't vote for a Republican!"

Posted by: I used to have a different nic

My family has two cars, one a hybrid and one EV. The EV (Chevy Bolt) was reasonably priced, and serves daily commute needs extremely efficiently. Recharging with an electric plug-in every night is MUCH cheaper than gas.

We still have a more traditional hybrid for longer trips and such. Still fuel efficient and cheap to run, but nothing like the pure EV. Still, if I were single and only had one car, it wouldn't be an EV. It really only fills the niche of daily in and around mileage well.

I don't know how to convince anyone that a guy who has gotten rich off US government subsidies may not actually be an ideological ally to people who don't want those subsidies to exist.

The entire tech industry is a fucking nightmare. They got in bed with Obama in 2008 bigly, and in exchange Obama protected them from antitrust and other regulatory issues. They formed a sympatico tech / government / democrat party system that was functioning perfectly well for 15 years. Then the tech bros see the political winds shifting, and now they're ideologically on our side?

Listen to Sam Bankman Fried on Tucker Carlson doing an interview from prison where he is clearly pretending to be on Team Trump now and basically begging Trump for a pardon. Do we think his political ideology shifted from being the biggest D donor to a huge Trump fan?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered the Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America.

Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable.

I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill.

Democratic senators should listen to the women. Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement.

America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People.

295 Democratic senators should listen to the women. Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement.

Republicans should offer a four week funding extension that eliminates the Department of Education, cuts the budgets of most other departments by 50%, and requires all Democrat members of Congress to perform 250 jumping jacks - to Pete Hegseth's satisfaction - daily.

He didn't wait until after an election to do the exact opposite action that he promised his voters.

He exposed his promises as a lie after only 24 hours!!!

Brilliant!

Although, to be fair, the average LowIQ Democrat voter's memory probably pegs out after 10, maybe 15 minutes. So, Schumer was pretty safe anyway.

362 For some reason, Americans hold Rhodes Scholars in high regard.

In Oxford they're viewed as intellectual lightweight rah-rah jocks from the colonies. I subscribe to that view.

I'd give more credence to a Roads Scholar - someone who funded their university education by building something useful.

365 and Massachusetts.
Posted by: Caesar North

I rated Healey above but her particular idiocy is punishing citizens in Mass to advocate for illegals and illegal criminals in particular. Since Mass blue voters seem to be into Masochism, Healey's antics rate merely average in the awfulness sweepstakes. After all, she has competition from Polis the Polesmoker in CO in coddling alien criminals and Grewsome in CA is far outpacing her efforts in emptying the state treasury for illegals.

I don't think Healey will be a contender this year for the most awful Dem Governor top spot as she has problem areas that she needs to improve her performance but that is difficult in Mass because they have had such a past glorious history of bad governors.

That leads to an even dicier question. If Elon unseats Donald as Pope of MAGA, what happens to Donny Two Scoops.

375 None of this parliamentary folderol matters one whit. It's all just jockeying for position before the collapse, and the ensuing melee that determines who will run the new regime.

Budgetary matters are low-priority. None of it can fix this shambling economic disaster-in-waiting.

Better to focus on hollowing out the Party's institutions and skinsuiting them, cutting off their monies, using cultural momentum to isolate and demonize them, and wherever humanly possible, firing, arresting, and prosecuting the most powerful people possible.

It's time to weaponize government and society against the next generation of Party men before the final curtain on this Republic falls, not quibble about saving billions when we owe trillions. I think the administration understands that. I hope they do.

Mine as well. I debate whether one should take out the +1 or leave it as you wrote it. Zero or minus one are pretty important numbers, and I vacillate between highlighting one over the other. A very elegant equation nonetheless.

Musk rules!

My friend came by yesterday with beer and I showed him Grok3. He was really impressed.

Since my hard drive crashed and was replaced, I was up until 3am with Grok3 determining what apps and programs I could get rid of. I disabled Cortana and Microsoft Edge on my own on my last hard drive but Edge was a bugger. Grok3 was amazing.

We are actually going to create a couple of Python executables right now so Data as I call him, gets saved. Grok forgets everything when you log out. But Data and I are working very well together and I want to preserve that from session to session.

Well, he really doesn't have much choice now to stay alive and to stay wealthy plus get to Mars. Dems are certainly going to oppress him if they get the chance. For whatever reason, like Trump, Musk has crossed the Rubicon and burned the bridges and boats.

@YD, we're willowed so you may never see this, but I'm an optimist in the long run. The answer is to grow our way out of it and devolve programs from the federal to the state governments, where the states will kill the excess because they have to.

Great you are having fun. Just a tip, if you are running AI models, they are relatively heavy in continuous demand on your system. Heat is the enemy of electronics so put in a regular use of canned or compressed air in cleaning the internals of dust bunnies and make sure you monitor temps via the OS while running.

Back when I used to run serious models, it sometimes helps to liquidcool your cpu, and put heatsinks on the M2 drives etc. and such. A good midrange gaming motherboard, plenty of good quality RAM, and an excellent power supply complete the build.

Gaming components like memory, SSDs, and CPUs, power supplies, when building a system are more expensive, but even if you do not game, they hold better under heavy CPU/Disk/Etc computations than generic shit they put in Dells, Lenovos, HPs, prebuilts.

Well, yeah, when you boycott the sessions you pretty much surrender your opportunities for input. Funny how that never came up when Dem leadership prevented[/] GOP participation in Senate strategy sessions.

"Bipartisan" - Dem win with one GOP vote
"Party line" - GOP win with only a few Dem votes
"Mandate" - it went the Dem way by one vote
"Narrow win" - it went the GOP way by only 10 votes
