If red state D senators are talking like that out in the open the discontent in the D senate conference is at revolution levels.

I'm at the point where I want the collaborators to have their hands and legs chopped off and endure 9 fucking days of writhing pain and dehydration before they croak!

Pelosi statement

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

Man when Pelosi comes out publicly against your decision you are pretty cooked.

MrSquished · Mar 14, 2025

Steve Schmidt explains that Chuck Schumer should resign and that Trump & Company are gloating and laughing about pansy Schumer caving in.

Will that be enough to get enough votes against approval to prevent it?

MrSquished · Mar 14, 2025

Chucky has shown he is an inept and out of his depth and out of touch shitty leader for years now. I'm glad the Dem pols are rebelling, and better late than never, but Jesus H Christ people, why do you take so long to wake the fuck up?

NYTimes current top left lead article about rift in Demo Party. Younger Dem Senators are hell of pissed at Chuck caving in.

Young Democrats’ Anger Boils Over as Schumer Retreats on Shutdown

A generational divide, seen in newer lawmakers’ impatience with bipartisanship and for colleagues who don’t understand new media, has emerged as one of the deepest rifts within the party.

Schumer’s Retreat From a Government Shutdown Has Young Democrats Fuming

I gotta think that under the skin, Chuck Schumer is a Republican.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can't remember something like this ever happening though.

Republicans have the majority, ultimately nothing can stop it.
They will not honor the filibuster when push comes to shove.
But we should make them do that much, at least.

Murphy (CT) is a no on cloture. Another member of the leadership.

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

Rosen (NV) is no on cloture.

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

Duckworth (IL) already a no on passage also reportedly a no on cloture now.

Edit: Chucky, you're in danger girl.

Roger Wilco · Mar 14, 2025

Daaaamn Jeffries. I see you.

Roger Wilco · Mar 14, 2025

Markey no on cloture.

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

For the record 6 of the 11 D senators in the D leadership oppose the position of their leader. Seems sub optimal for whoever that is.

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

Masto (NV) is a yes for cloture.

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

I assume leadership pulls this over the line on their own votes but man are they ever fucked for doing so.

K1052 · Mar 14, 2025

Wyden (OR) no on cloture.

Pelosi absolutely did all the work during the first Trump term as opposition to Trump, so maybe he got complacent. With her gone it just exposes how worthless he is. I'm not sure what Jeffries' excuse is.

I haven’t been reading news since Nov 2024. I feel they were board line criminal in their 2024 election coverage.
Someone want to brief me as to why helping Rs get over this line is bad?
I totally understand Rs should be able to do it but time and time again they aren’t able to to do it.
What is Chuck doing that’s so horrible?
