but no CR blocks
Fock
We can all agree, it’s a Crock!
This thread rocks!
He has edema those socks can’t hide.
Did the Baileys give him those socks as a birthday gift?
The only bold thing about him.
Schumer more than socks
May they always be damp
Schumer sux
Schumer may have crazy foot-clothes, but he actually made a thought-provoking point on Chris Hayes tonight: a government shutdown would allow Trump to close the courts. That would be a disaster, since the courts have been standing in the way of some of the Trump/Musk Regime's worst actions.
If that's what Trump wanted, he would have shut the government down. He didn't need Democrat permission.
Incorrect. He can't shut the government down until funding expires.
it is pretty clear he is doing all kinds of illegal things & no on can stop him
I share your frustration, but court orders have been making a difference. Some of the funds that were illegally cut by DOGE have been paid and some of the employees who where illegally fired are back at work.
Schumer has always been a lying snake who is corrupt AF. I would not trust his opinion on anything. Trump or Republicans "might" do this or that. He doesn't GAF. He has $80M to insulate him. bsky.app/profile/mary...
then why wasn't Schumer supporting this all along? Why isn't AOC supporting it?
Because, as Schumer said, the CR is terrible and he is only reluctantly voting for cloture because he sees that as better than the alternative, which is even worse. I'm not 100% sure he is right, but I do think that we need to stop infighting on the left and focus our ire on the authoritarians.
This is who should be leading a party. bsky.app/profile/aoc....
I don't agree. Schumer & Jeffries are an embarrassment. I cannot understand how anyone would want those impotent snakes to lead anything. They are 100% why Dems are in the dumpster now. Also Pelosi & Clyburn. Have the done a good job? hahahaha no
Pelosi was the most effective Speaker of the House in US History. People (mostly men) don't like her because she is a strong woman who makes them uncomfortable.
Calling out worthless leadership is not "infighting," it's absolutely vital to a functioning political movement. I don't get a vote in the Senate. Neither do you. But I do have two people who are supposed to represent me, and when they fuck up this badly, yeah, they're going to hear about it.
I'm all for stopping the infighting, but when a handful of dinosaurs are standing in the way of mounting any defense against the fascist takeover of government, we have to deal with them
I agree that some of the Democratic Party leaders lack charisma, but they are not standing in the way of mounting a defense. That defense needs to come from the grassroots. Let's grab our signs and head to a protest!
which was going to happen when
And then there's this disconcerting thought...
Musk is not an expert at US government, so don't trust him to actually know if a shutdown would be good for him or not. He just thrives on chaos. Note that Musk thought that taking over the government was going to make him even richer, but his net worth is plummeting.
No, that's why if he says he wants something, it's probably either very bad for us or it's a shell game he's playing. They're constantly being overruled by the courts, just wondering when that will actually matter.
Now he’ll be violating a court order. If he wants to have it out let’s stop shaving off parts of our democracy and have it out.
🎯
FUCK CHUCK SCHUMER THAT TRAITOR ASS BITCH TRUMP HUMPING ASSHOLE.
We will barely have a recognizable country in September!! Does he have so much money that he is insulated from the real hurt this will cause? Including bankrupting DC?? WTAF???
Yes.
That or else he doesn’t plan to run for re-election so he doesn’t give a shit anymore.
I think you mean Schumer sucks
bsky.app/profile/henl...
Unserious people
IDGAF Read the room!
He’s clearly shitting in that chair and on the party he purports to lead
Official Vichy ballwasher socks
“Jokes” by the privileged. Stay classy, Americans.
I know that brand…Acquiesce Socks
Dems continuous weak strategy and gerontocracy is why we are in this mess. MAGA GOP feeds on weakness like sharks. It shouldn't take a PhD to realize the obvious after 8+yrs. By September, Schumer and company might as well be wearing Russian flag socks instead. No balls=no democracy.
Was just going to post along the lines of “ wtf with those socks 🤮”
This is the closeup to study: Schumer licking his lips. He cannot *wait* to concede and conspire. Just stick a red MAGA cap on him.
*sucks
#FuckChuck
Well done
this is the one of the day. thank u
😆
Quisling™️ brand socks, capitulate in style
Schumer sucks, you meant to say
I think he merely misspelled sucks. 😂
Schumer socks Trump’s big red tie
😆 I literally just zoomed in the picture to get a better look at them. I should’ve just scrolled to your next post! 😅
Has to decorate his feet of clay
Is that the national flag of Oceania?
I think it might be Buzz Windrip’s new flag.
Top tier response!
Those are the socks of a man who sucks and is about to make a deal that sucks even more
His bravado keeps his feet warm…. As for facism?? Meh…. I’m comfortable…. Your constituents…. I know better than you …. FFS
He's a phony patriot!
ngl, i would wear those socks
Thanks, Steven, I appreciate your elucidation!
Another chaotic mind.
First thing I noticed. They don’t coordinate with his tie. And those dainty little loafer slippers?!?
I read socks as “sucks” at first
i read that as "schumer sucks" which is not less accurate
Also Schumer thick heart disease ankles. Fuck him.
Time for Schumer and Pelosi to go!
Schmuck socks
Them’s some bloated feet.
I fucking hate this guy
i'm glad to see, Steven ! also relieved there ain't no tassels, neether !!
At least his socks are patriotic. I guess he thinks he's patriotic too. He just really really misunderstands the moment. It's time - past time - for him to go.
Definitely not one of us
They'd look better rolled up under a house.
good lord, boomers found us. time to log off forever
With his shiny Schumer shoes sticking out?
That earned YOU a follow. 👊
😂 very creative
Well done. 👏

HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism
FUCK (and I mean this) YOU, CHUCK SCHUMER
He’s delusional. Of course they will jam democrats because Schumer and his weaklings never stand up for us.
Schumer, voting himself out of a job
lol, like he hasn't had a front row seat to watch them cave time after time, and time again and again
I think Schumer was bullied as a child and is still afraid
Entitled assholes like him are always the bully
Will share. Thanks
This!!!
I hope this stupid old piece of shit has a heart attack.
Chuck needs to retire. His services are no longer required, nor are they helping.
why would he think this? is he the stupidest dipshit to ever put on a pair of socks?
Yeah, sure, Republicans have stood up to Trump almost as much as you have, Chuck.
Jesus effing Christ. He may as well just say MY NAME IS REEK and nothing else ever again
This is so stupid. He is the opposition party who is unwilling to stand up to Trump and he thinks the guys on Trump's side will at some make believe point? No wonder we are where we are. Honestly, Democrats could just pack it up and go home permanently and they'd be as effective.
Is Schumer also now a Russian asset ?
Chuck is a millionaire who wants a piece of those tax cuts.
Now? No. He’s a neoliberal, like Newsom, and this is what all the deregulation and income inequality was for. The oligarchs owned Russia fast after Soviets fell. That’s always been our fate. Greatest Generation was right about the New Deal and Great Society. www.politico.com/news/2024/07...
Yes, but for free.
For free ✅
Not really sure it's for free, actually
Yeah, we don’t pay him enough to have acquired his current estimated net worth. Even allowing for gross exaggeration.
when will he realize that they will never turn against trump? even after the cliff
and the grift. People in this country seem to love to see him on the grift.
Hawking Telsas, Trump bible, crap crypto. etc.
Schumer is deeply unprepared for this moment and it shows.
I think the consensus is that his plan was to capitulate all along. Unless you mean the backlash. Then yes, he was definitely unprepared to receive this much backlash.
The latter is more what I mean. I don't think he personally feels unprepared but I think in a historical sense this is a man who has failed to understand the context of the time he is in.
He's a McClellan, not a Grant.
Maybe she won't pull the football next time. Democrats put Charlie Brown in the driver's seat during our most pressing need to fight.
Chuck Schumer is a moron and a case study in term limits and age limits for that job
Stand up or resign.... Fuck it just resign because we already know he's incapable of standing up.
"Let the dementia-ridden orange clown and his nazi wormtongue loot the country for 6 months and then we'll see whether Congress can claw back any of its power"
Schumer is delusional.
Or we may not have a country anymore. And congress, no power. @chrislhayes.bsky.social
He's all like "sure they stood by him after he tried to have his own vice president killed. But once Spanberger wins Virginia.... 👌"
Let me guess- Chuckles still believes in thorough fairy too, right?
Feckless cunt doesn’t even come close.
Democrats will also be less popular - has he considered that? The fact that they're so willing to throw DC residents under the bus is just typical. Going forward, I won't be donating to any umbrella Democratic organization (DNC, DLCC, DSCC).
While this cr is generally bad, DC is getting massively fucked.
It doesn't need #Schumer to think about some grand strategy with future predictions; we just need him to vote against the executive branch stealing spending discretion from the legislative branch. He just needs to NOT COOPERATE WITH A COUP. #Congress #TrumpUnfit #MuskyCoup
Let’s base morality and principles on what Schumer perceives as popular derp!
Over and over and over again 😒
old man yells at cloud
Did James “Roll over and play dead” Carville have a hand in this?
i've fallen and i can't get up
come on dude even that chair is fucking eating your lunch
Schumer doesn't understand when you are losing a battle, you don't calculate, you don't plan for a honorable loss, you go with your guts, you fight hard, you sacrifice what's dear, so you can keep heart of the people for future battles. He has lost the heart of the people.
Oh he knows he’s just too old, too tired & too well-fed from all the decades spent living off taxpayers. It’s high fucking time he retires!
We need a fighting leader. He has to go.
Goddamn right he does! I know in his heart & mind he thought he was doing right by the American people, but the road to hell is paved with plenty of that kind of sentiment.
Fuck what he thinks in his mind and heart. He has no heart and doesn't give two fucks about us. You do not cave when nazis are asking you to capitulate. You act accordingly and fight like hell. The peoples blood and death are on @schumer.senate.gov hands
Oh so he’s actually stupid, got it
🤣🤣🤣 He is such an idiot here with his thoughts and prayers concept.
Useless piece of shit
No. He has to go.
We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas...
Is he really this dumb?
No, he's just a republican in everything but name
He has something in common with them.
red moon at night, Schumer won’t fight.
Good news everyone! Chuck has consulted his crystal ball and has seen the future! Not necessarily the future of this reality but it’s something i guess
I’m unclear what he thinks will be left to defend in September, but I guess he’ll be content to try to lord over the ashes?
This can't be real. He has moved this goal post so many times and here we are.
WE WILL NOT BE ALIVE BY SEPTEMBER YOU OLD FUCK
Have you Americans tried electing someone below, I dunno, retirement age?
Why do you think this country has spent decades shaming education and spouting that "experience" is always the most important thing? Keeps young people with new ideas out.
So Chuck thinks the repubs will try to jam again, but the very same repubs will be easier to work with? Chuck. You're an idiot and this is why you keep losing.
Tell him get the fuck out of office
Beyond parody
There won’t be a fucking republic in September.
Hahaha what an idiot
Wild thing for him to say while he, ostensibly not a Republican, is also refusing to take a stand now.
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it pays off for him.
Why should we ever expect Republicans to stand up to Trump if Democrats (like Schumer) will not?
What the fuck is the point of being a Dem Senator if you are just going to wait around for the GOP to take your side! The fuck is wrong with these people. Use the power you have to deny Trump what he wants! But no, let's just give him what he wants and hope for the best next time. Fucking losers
So, before or after he annexes Austria and Poland
He is a coward. He won't stand up now and won't stand up then. Joe Lieberman part two. He might as well caucus with the Republican party.
Coward
Yeah, just kick the can down the road & HOPE that Trump will be less popular??? #ResignChuck
Doesn’t matter how unpopular Trump is, he controls the Party apparatus via Lara Trump. They obey or get Primaried. And they like their life in D.C. more than they care about their constituents.
What's that saying? Two birds in a bush is worth one in the hand.
That’s a joke! Get a god damn spine
It’s frightening how obtuse he is.
tell him to resign
Right before they kiss?
When exactly has his bet that Trump being less popular paid off?
Calling the Republicans out for refusing to stand up when you're doing the same exact thing is not the flex Schumer thinks it is.
Why would republicans stand up to him when Dems aren’t even standing up to him? That makes no sense.
Schumer doesn't need the guidance of Republicans to make his own decisions. What a pathetic old man refusing to advocate for his party. He's gotta go, old and useless.
Tell him the time is NOW.
“Trust me bro we’ll be in a better position when everyone is even more fucked over than we are now you just gotta trust me bro”
WTF Chuck! #WTFChuck
Fuuuuuck this guy. Worthless. There is a reason Dems keep losing elections. Get the fuck out of the way and let the next generation fight for us.
Old man needs to go!
does he expect there to be a senate in september
Good God either resign or die or check into assisted living but GTFO because you are killing our party!
Ah yes.... the old "if we wait our opponent might be weaker 6 months from now" strategy..... even though there is literally no sign that the GOP will abandon Trump. Schumer is a pathetic fool.
Who's sinking into the cushions more dramatically, Marco or Chuck?
Technically, Vance, but in an entirely different way...
You mad genius.
great minds 😏
At the rate Elon trump is moving with the DOGE punks, the Dems will be irrelevant in September.
They’re irrelevant now.
You know who else is refusing to stand up to him now, @schumer.senate.gov ?
He's holding onto Senate collegiality until they put us all in camps
Politico 2022: “Both of Chuck Schumer’s daughters work for the tech giants: Alison Schumer works as a privacy and politics product marketing manager at Facebook parent company Meta, while Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist for Amazon in New York state.” www.politico.com/newsletters/...

HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism
He's chucked up for the last time
Cuck Schumer
He’s so pathetic
Worse than useless. Complicit. Really, I think he is in on the conversion to oligarchy.
He could be. Most of the politicians are bought and paid for
We heard this same shit line of reasoning for why you had to support some of Trump's cabinet picks so reasonable Republicans would vote against the worst of them. How the fuck did that work out Chuck?
Just the tip of fascism, amiright?
Go to bed, old man. "What is he? My meshuggah uncle?"
Jesus Christ. Just retire so we can have someone who hasn’t already given up in that seat.
Dammit Schumer get a backbone shut him the hell down don’t let Trump win this it’ll be on him not us help us stand up for the Americans. We don’t wanna live like Russians
"He said they refused to do so now." How can he even say this? He didn't even try at all to force their hand.
I keep on saying this- the CR should go down in history as the Check Schumer Enabling Act of 2025.
That picture says it all.
Republicans will jam you up every day before September too. Why don’t you try to jam them up today???
Look at the damage Trump/Elon has done in under 3 months, and he thinks handing them all the budgeting power in this CR for months is a winning strategy? My Agent Orange Marine loses all of his disability/care under this CR. Just a few more months and the U.S.A. will no longer exist.
Fight for the PACT Act!
Live view of Schumer in September after Republicans hinted they would be open to turning on Trump.
So he's gambling. He's put all the chips in because we're the chips. He has nothing to lose.
Schumer is an effing idiot.
RATM: “If we don't take the action now / We settle for nothing later” Chuck: “Settle for nothing now / And we'll settle for nothing later”
You can tell Schumer I said to kick rocks.
These optics suck. A party leader in the United States Senate, pictured in a deep chair, hunched over, looks like he's waiting for lunch at the nursing home. Can't stand Trxmp, but to his credit he'd never set himself up to look like that. J. F. Christ.
They refused, so I caved. The fart of the deal.
Why should anyone expect Republicans will stand up to Trump in six months when Democrats won't stand up to him now?
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Sounds like Schumer has dementia, because what he's saying is completely demented!!
“Roll over and play dead” may have worked 20 years ago. These folks will stomp on graves!
Schumer is always wrong about this kind of thing. He's been appeasing Republicans for more than a decade, and it's never gotten us anything. He thinks he's some kind of dealmaker, but he's not. He's just giving the bad guys what they want.
This is just an outright lie
Call them. I am a NYS, western side, resident. I did. They work for me. They need to be maga here. They put us in this situation by not being prepared even though they knew about 2025 last year. If not, both will be primaried.
He's asking us to ask Republicans to be the opposition?
Procrastination is like masterbation; you’re just fucking yourself……thanks for nothing @schumer.senate.gov
This guy lives in a bubble of privilege so thick it could dam up the Atlantic Ocean
Dam that’s a very good analogy Mr. Pen.
Whoever took this picture really has it in for Chuck. Slumped in a chair like a confused old grandpa.
This democracy will be irrevocably damaged by September. This is the last chance to do something to save it.
Yup. Every expert on authoritarianism is very clear about this: we need to act fast. Every day that goes by makes it harder and harder for the opposition. Democratic leadership needs to go. From Schumer and Jeffries to the DNC. They’re weak. We need strength. We need defenders. We need fighters.
it already is irrevocably damaged, and this guy is saying his approval rating are gonna be bad in six months
Exactly. Yet Chuck Schumer listens to his big donors, he doesn't care about the American people.
I wanted to say just that.
At what point do they decide that he’s failed to protect their interests, though?
Chuck Schumer's big donors are high networth investors and business owners. Ironically they will all financially benefit from Trump's tax policies and gutting of government regulations.
Even if the stock market goes to shit and the system that their private planes runs on gets shut down?
Many of them already hedged. If stock market goes to shit they'd make huge profit from put options. Intentional destruction of the FAA? Not sure. They tend to fly out of smaller airports, like Van Nuys, which could see ATC privatized fast.
No I mean the noaa for data on safe travels
They probably won't realize it until it's too late, i.e. after a major weather related crash.
He listens to the "Baileys"
To Schumer's credit, at least the "Baileys" ain't ChatGPT.
What a loser!
that facial expression says it all
why does he think that six fucking months of the past six weeks are going to make things EASIER. unfuckingbelievable inability to see that we are off the fucking rails
Trump will be way more unpopular. Look how bad things have become in 2 months.
Are you being sardonic or is this an actual take
“If the government shuts down, Trump will at least temporarily have more power over federal operations. That’s because in shutdowns, presidents enjoy wide discretion on exactly what to close, furloughing employees, and what to keep open, making workers perform their duties without pay.”
I’m serious. By September the economy will be in a shambles. Trump will be much weaker. Pick the right battles.
I get no pleasure from saying I think you're in for a terrible surprise.
So what do you think will happen? The economy will be okay under Trump?
Trump doesn't care about the economy. He is consolidating power and will use the crisis to cement it. He is becoming a dictator. Democrats will not oppose him with any conviction. Ther
Yes he will use the government shutting down to cement power, sure as hell. It is not an effective strategy.
(hit send ) there will be nothing to stop Trump.
Shutting down the government will not stop Trump. Explain to me how it would do that, please.
We're so far apart from an understanding I don't know where to begin.
.... they are destroying institutions at such a rapid pace that popularity or lack thereof is going to be a lot less relevant in 6 months. the republicans are avoiding the CURRENT lack of popularity by not holding town halls. they did not care about the lack of popularity after j6.
How would shutting the government stop them from destroying institutions?
How does defunding DC's public schools & giving Elon Musk a blank check to continue destroying agencies, & giving Trump a win & no accountability for 7 months ... how does that stop destruction of our institutions?
Trump has no accountability now. Musk already has a blank check. Shutting down the government would greatly affect DC.
Trump already announced he's gonna impound all the funds anyway.
Yes, that's the point, shut it down and let everyone know that Trump is the reason why they can't fly and aren't getting their checks.
The government was shut down for 35?days in Trumps first term and he got what he wanted anyway.
And his approval took a massive hit and he lost the election. If the choice is between him getting what he wants, and him getting what he wants and burning his own house down in the process, there's only one choice.
EXACTLY! HE FUCKING LOST!
We must draw the line now, or resolve that we lost the whole goddamn thing. It’s war, plain & simple. War isn’t nicey nice.
War is waged for desired objectives. Just going out shouting and killing is not a way to win a wa
Then Dems should pick one concrete item...like reigning in DOGE/Musk...and block the bill until GOP complies. No they can't ask for everything but Jesus they need to get SOMETHING meaningful from the little leverage they have. Reinstate the IGs...something.
Do you think Trump would let Republicans give in on any of these? Honest question.
I'm actually not sure Trump will abide by anything in the bill he doesn't want to anyway 🤷 so IDK. I could also easily see a gov shutdown and him saying "I'm going to spend anyway To save the country from the Dems shutdown" and take all of Congress power.
I dunno about that. I think every dead Republican makes America a better country. Disagree? Name me a single Republican that would make America worse if they died tomorrow.
Who is doing that? Not me, not until I can be part of an organized force, anyway. But we - all of us on this side - either consolidate soon or accept subjugation. I will not accept subjugation, nor should any able bodied American citizen.
Consolidate? Great? Search for effective remedies. The press and the courts seem to be do the most at this point. There it is not a matter of majorities.
How does not shutting down the government stop them? A vote for cloture is an endorsement of all actions taken by Trump and DOGE to this point. What part of that can’t you wrap your head around? If Trump and Musk are as bad as you admit, how can you give them a single vote for anything? Ever?
He is voting to do that. The alternative is doing what the constitution anticipated, when you don’t have the votes, you negotiate with the other side and compromise. Or you let the other side take the blame. This is doing the opposite.
Trump's unpopularity does not matter! He does not give one single shit what people think of him, and Republicans don't care either!
So shutting down the government does not matter either.
Go troll on X.
Yes, but just waiting around is lazy and detrimental. This is NOT time for “business as usual.”
Time for Chuck to go
He just announced he will let them jam him
Block and unfollow ALL DEM POLS' BLUESKY ACCOUNTS. Send the message: IF THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO US, THEN WE WILL NOT BE LISTENING TO THEM. RENDER THEIR BLUESKY ACCOUNTS USELESS. AND YES, ALL OF THEM. IF THE "INNOCENT" ONES DON'T LIKE IT, THEY CAN TAKE IT TO THE FASCIST COLLABORATORS.
It took 3 aids to get him out of this chair after the on-site Doctor said she was worried because his knees were over his heart.
Oh yeah that’s a fair assumption based on the last ten years—EVENTUALLY republicans will stand up to him. Right. Okay. What an unreal take—if I didn’t know better I’d think it was satire.
he has absolutely nothing to lose being wrong or doing wrong. throw the entire man out.
Exactly—he’s not even a little afraid of disappointing the people who gave him his job. Time for a performance review.
Absolutely disgusting. He sooooo needs to go it’s not even funny
The horde will not turn on Trump. Utter fantasy bullshit.
Feckless. Just a complete inability to get out of his beltway mindset and read the fuckin room. But I'm sure he'll keep enjoying all those business donations and lobbyist dinners.
Schumer actually made a thought-provoking point on Chris Hayes tonight: a government shutdown would allow Trump to close the courts. That would be a disaster, since the courts have been standing in the way of some of the Trump/Musk Regime's worst actions.
Not necessarily. The courts can operate without any additional funding for about a month. They’re also classified as “essential” which means they get priority for funding. Also, OPM has no authority over judicial employees.
I hope you're right. My fear is that Trump and Musk will not follow past precedent and would take advantage of a shutdown to freeze all funding to the courts.
The Courts have been preparing for this type of occurrence in recent years and the AO (Administrative Budget of US Courts) has cash on hand. They would be fine for at least several weeks. In any case, judges and clerks would keep working and get back pay later. I know this. I was a clerk recently.
Fuck it. Make him do it. Do you think Trump listens to the courts anyway? The lack of imagination that these Acela Insiders have, and their blind trust in an already broken System, is allowing this garbage to continue. #FireSchumer @baldwin.senate.gov
also, not true
House Republicans voted unanimously to pass the CR. I believe all Senate Rs plan to aside from Rand Paul. If there was some ulterior GOP plot to intentionally shut down the government, they wouldn't need Democrat help to do so. They could just not pass a spending bill all on their own.
The CR would nullify many of the cases.
Certainly, but many other court rulings would remain in effect and the courts could continue to stand in the way of authoritarianism.
Unless they funnel everything through the enabling powers of this CR. Which they will. I'd rather take my chances with two weeks of court in a shut down.
they're not following court orders anyway, might as well deny them funding and have them obtain a broken economy
additionally, the bill in question gives Trump additional power to ignore the courts
Can you guide me to the text in the bill where it says that?
The part where "the judiciary" is among the things it gives a president the authority to defund on a whim. (Of course this would be moot if anyone would enforce the 14th amendment and remove the ineligible shitbag from an office he's disqualified from holding, but that is a separate issue)
Yeah I’m gonna double down on that request for the text of the bill that says this as it sounds a lot like ‘trust me bro’
Start at page 14, line 4. It allows POTUS to order sequestration (cuts) to meet budget deficits and lists the agencies for which sequestration can apply. Judiciary is one of the 35 listed. www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr...
Yes, but the CR only allows sequestration in accordance with Gramm-Rudman (the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, Section 251A(6)(D)), which would need to be proportional (reducing all departments by an equal %). That would not shut down the courts.
This supposes a) they won't simply reduce all the listed departments by 100%, b) they actually read a law and understand it, c) they won't pretend it says whatever they want and continue dynamiting the government from within. Their behavior to date does not imply future good faith.
Seems like GOP wouldn’t have an issue proportionally reducing everything else given what they’ve been up to recently, no?
Thank you!
They still publish the bills, for now: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
‘Bro. Trust me.’
Following up because you were right!
Weird, that might upset people and make Trump unpopular. Schumer wouldn’t want that.
He is going to fire everyone no matter what. And if Dems vote to approve and shit hits the fan over the cuts in it, they are 50% responsible. If the Republicans won’t make a deal to get the Dems to sign and shut down- 100% on the GOP.
We need to be focused on beating the authoritarians. The question is whether a government shutdown would help or hurt the resistance. Smart people may disagree, but no matter how Democrats vote, there is no way they are even 1% responsible for the Trump/Musk coup.
Dems will be held responsible for collusion if they vote with the Republicans. If they vote no, THEY HAVE TO GET THEIR TALKING POINTS OUT NOW AND MAKE IT CLEAR. Good God they suck at messaging. Republicans would hurt people. Dems voted against it. The shut down is 100% on the GOP. Dems vote for US!
Meanwhile that chair looks real comfy.
The Rs won’t need Dem votes in September. Doesn’t he know the rules? It will be budget through reconciliation. JFC
He’s a FOOL and a COLLABORATOR. He should resign now.
By september, he will have declared martial law. PM Trudeay from Canada stronly believes that the tariff insanity is just a step towards annexation. He was led to this conclusion after his phone calls with Trump in which he questioned the legitimacy of a 1908 treaty on borders.
Chuck needs to retire (from life)
Tell him he’s a fucking coward and he better wake the fuck up before the golden years of his life involve being hated and relentlessly heckled with righteous anger every time he dares to show his face in public again.
He’s like Biden, not up to the task and utterly confused.
Question for Schumer.
Democrats are clowns 🤡
"I'll do my job when it's a little bit easier. Maybe later." Home boy has to gooooooooooo home. Your job is to stand up to Trump. If you cannot do your job it's time to leave and go work somewhere else. If a dentist cannot fix a tooth, it's time for him to call it, same for Schumer. WRAP IT UP.
Schumer is right that Trump will be less popular in September. The markets themselves are not important but the message they send about the future is.
The Democrats BEST. 🤣🤣🤣
This man has a dog's brain
Yes history has shown that Republicans will turn it around…….this dipshit is west-wing brained to a degree of being non-functional
I mean he is just saying it outright here — “EVERYTHING will be handled and determined by the Republicans here. Don’t look to Democrats — we will just be sitting here in these chairs watching what happens like the rest of you. The fate of our future rests ENTIRELY in the hands of the Republicans.”
He should be retired.
He is. Nothing but an empty suit.
What a fool he is.
Hey @schumer.senate.gov Republicans will never do the right thing and oppose Trump!! Were you asleep the last 4 years when they all repeated his lies about the 2020 election being stolen?? Like WTF! Coward!!
appeasement policy
“Yeah that’s the ticket. September… things will be reaaaal different then. In September….”
💭I'm gonna hit 'em with a strongly-worded letter! 💥POW! 💥POW!
In two weeks.
Let him cook
Schumer is a weak fool !
What a fucking idiot. He needs to resign immediately.
What world has he been living in the last decade?
Total BS. I am disgusted.
Run out of town every coward Dem and Republican that supports Trump and this BS.
Chuck Schumer is a little bitch.
There will be nothing left for the democrats to fight for by September. Fuck @schumer.senate.gov
Fuck Schumer.
He's gonna kill us all.
The stupidity is unending.
And Republicans aren't the ONLY ones who refused to stand up to Trump now!
Schumer can't read the room. The Republicans really don't care about popular opinion, only power.
Republics thrive on hypocrisy. If you think you’re going to shame them into doing the right thing… you’re wrong. They do not possess an ounce of shame.
Not at all. They stick fingers in their ears and scream lala any time anyone challenges their perception.
Is this photo from the retirement home?
IT SHOULD BE!
It sure as shit NEEDS to be!
September… if we make it that far. The damage the MAGA/GOP and DOGE have done in 45 days is just the tip of the iceberg. Schumer lives in a fantasy world. Senate dems need to elect a leader, not a surrenderer.
A pox on all of their houses
Man he's really late-life Kissinger-maxxing in that chair. On a real note, holy jesus fuck the 'resistance' party is led by idiots.
We need to put together a GoFundMe to buy and install a strategic bone in this poor man’s body. It’s just sad. 😢
@schumer.senate.gov sold out country. He is no leader. He has betrayed people who sent Democrats to DC to fight for literal survival of our republic. I will not give a single dime to Democratic Party; I’ll only support those Democrats interested in doing their damn job of *representing the PEOPLE*.
Will we have a congress in six months?
“Do not obey in advance.” —Timothy Snyder
Fucking delusional. GTFO, Vichy Schumer!!
What an idiot
I read the words but all I heard was, "Back in MY day..."
Now is the only time to act.
Bullshit. It’ll just be a different excuse to do nothing.
WHERE HAS HE BEEN FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS??? Republicans are *never* going to stand up to Trump. Not even in the smallest way.
Trump may be less popular, but Republicans will never stand up to him.
Hilarious that this fucking moron @schumer.senate.gov thinks we're going to be able to vote or do *anything* "normal" in September. Jezuz you fucking idiot, Chuck, read the goddamn room.
Someone needs to stuff Schumer in a locker & not let him out until he resigns. What a disgraceful corrupt excuse for a human.
Say it loud!! HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism HEY HEY! HO HO!! CHUCK SCHUMER HAS GOT TO GO!!! #FightFascism
Schumer is delusional. He is in denial about the republican cult.
In September, one assumes there will be another reason not to fight right at that moment, but surely next time--next time!--he would lace up his boots and fight.
As a trans person I don’t exist yet have to pay taxes. Fuck you Schumer. Vote NO
Fucking retire you useless skeleton
When the democrat net favorables are -99, sure.
Oust the dinosaurs. They’ve pulled the ladder up every god damn time. Enough is enough.
If the fucking Democrats won't stand up to Trump, why would a Republican?
👏👏👏👏
He thinks the cult will be weaker lol???
this guy needs to be physically removed from office. just shove him out the door and keep going without him
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Schumer is an absolute moron GOP has been doing this to him for more than a decade and he hasn't learned a single lesson GET HIM OUT OF LEADERSHIP
He’s too use to their manipulation. Too friendly.
