As posted in a different thread:
I don’t care if it’s cloture or the actual bill itself…
There should be zero Dems voting “yes” on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.
Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.
Those Dems that do vote yes… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
Fetterman was a given, since he’s been cozying up with the GOP as of late
Well no, when MAGA wants something that’s actually good, there’s no reason to oppose it.
The Republican leadership just instructed the DOJ to put LGBTQ+ activist groups on a fuckin’ watch-list like they’re goddamn terrorists (and they’re gonna fuckin’ do it). The Trump Administration is doing everything possible to break the US Constitution when it comes to the freedom of expression, the freedom of and from religion, the Presidential Term Limit, and birthright citizenship which regardless how you personally feel about it is baked into the US Constitution.
So why don’t you tell me what they’re doing that you find so goddamn appealing. Because I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m too fucking stupid, but I just don’t see it.
Yo, I need sources on that first sentence. Asking for a friend.
I agree with you what is being done to freedom of expression is outrageous. I’m not aware of changes with freedom of religion, nor presidential term limits. There’s a case for arguing birthright citizenship doesn’t apply to people born here with illegal parents, it will be debated in court.
To answer your question, Trump during his first term passed legislation to enhance protection of animals. Recently he brokered a ceasefire deal in Gaza. A reasonable person can oppose most of his actions and also acknowledge when he does good ones.

And just when do you truly think any MAGAt will propose something “good”…???
Don’t be daft.
🙄
No income tax on people earning less than $150k for example.
Trump has also passed animal protection laws during his first term.
Yes, the rich fucking love no-income-tax schemes. Because that’s always followed by more-sales-tax-to-replace-lost-revenue schemes, which is demonstrably proven to move the tax burden from the obscenely wealthy to the other end of the economic spectrum.
Our $800 billion war machine isn’t going to stop just because 80% of Americans don’t pay taxes anymore.
You realize the rich would still be paying income taxes, as they make more than $150k… and they would be paying those sales taxes too.
The rich don’t pay income taxes already.
The top 1% pay 40% of all federal income taxes.
Pfft…
Anyone looking seriously/hopefully/longingly at those pitiful distractions is simply missing the bigger MAGAt picture/goal of entirely subverting US democracy.
That’s just bread and circuses.
🙄
You asked for good policies, I gave you good policies. You want to pretend everything MAGA does is bad? Go for it, I’m not stopping you if you don’t care about being accurate.
Yes.
In my world, the preponderance of MAGAt goals are bad so they are ultimately and entirely bad.
You’re simply attempting: “Look, here’s a couple of good things in a big bucket of bad. So obviously they can’t be all bad”.
Definition of bread and circuses.
You might want to leave your world and join the real world back, where not everything is black and white.
Anything I would have to say would get me permanently banned from the site for advocating violence.
Remember, as Napoleon Bonaparte said to Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, “Violence never solved anything.”
I don’t think it’s time for violence. It’s time for new leadership.
Of course it’s not time for violence; violence have never solved anything. Asking nicely and remembering to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ will surely convince them to step down.
You dropped this: “/s”
Oh, no, I would never be sarcastic about that. Being sarcastic would mean that I was condoning violence directed at democratically elected officials that are surely doing what the people want and expect them to do, and are fulfilling their duty to the country and constitution.
The shutdown will still happen…
This does away with the habitual earmarking of funds, and instead just puts things in a handful of piles.
So they can just not fund parts of the government that they don’t like, and give everything to shit like ICE. CBP, or fucking Teslas.
They didn’t avert a shutdown so much as freely give away what power they had.
Big GOP win.
Did they even ask for anything? Not that they would have gotten it, I just bet they didn’t even ask for anything
No, they didn’t.
They weren’t even invited to any meeting to ask for anything.
“Who else are you gonna vote for” - ten democrats, probably
Some of them are not up for reelection for many years. They might be banking on most people forgetting about this, and they may be right.
They are right. Americans are idiots and we deserve every bit of suffering we’ll get.
Fuck this country.
Let’s not get discouraged and push for the Democratic senators to elect a new leader.
Push them where? Off a cliff? I’m down for that.
My senator doesn’t give a fuck what I think. Elect a new leader? Why? So they can roll over, too?
I’m way the fuck past discouraged. Burn it all.
43 fucking years the Dems have been like this.
Elect a new leader so we get one that will not roll over. When you say burn it all, you do not encompass the damage it will do for generations to come.
Senate democrats have never in my entire life elected a leader who didn’t fold like a cheap card table. I’ve had decades of disappointment and excuses.
Generational damage is already being done. And is being allowed by Senate Democrats being a bunch of feckless assholes.
too bad I don’t live NY , we have shitheel gov now in the west
Arnt some also retiring? So they may not give a fuck either way
Schumer did manage to get GOP leadership to agree to hold a vote to ensure that the D.C.'s budget did not suffer a $1 billion cut. The House’s bill was written to include the budget reduction, sparking concern.
Chuck Schumer is the biggest coward on either side of the Mississippi
Unfortunately 9 Democrats followed him…
Isn’t he the cousin of Amy Schumer who stole jokes, looks like something runs in the family
