      Schumer didn’t vote to end the shut down.

      Goddamn, misinformation is fucking rampant here. You guys don’t even remotely care about the truth, do you? You just want everything to confirm your biases.

          So the argument isn’t that he caved. The argument is that he doesn’t have total control over other Senators?

          That’s stupid as fuck. He can’t control other Senators, you fucking dumbass. Senators are responsible to their constituency, not the informal party leader.

          The fact that you guys NEVER list the eight Democrats that actually did vote to end it and ONLY put the blame on Schumer, despite that making no sense, is ridiculous. It’s plainly obvious that the truth does not matter to you. Schumer did exactly what you said you wanted him to do but now you’re crucifying him anyway because he’s the “evil establishment” Democrat. You picked sides LONG before this, you never had any intention of judging Schumer fairly.

        Schumer negotiated the deal, scheduled the vote, and arranged for enough Senators not facing election in 2026 so he could vote against it.

          Schumer negotiated the deal,

          That is an absolute fucking lie. You should be ashamed of yourself, intentionally spreading misinformation like this, We get enough of that from the right.

          Zero proof for any of your convenient assertions.
