It doesn’t get more pathetic than this.
Oh I disagree that the Democrats won’t be more pathetic than this.
I’m so glad those who were put in place to speak for me decided to roll over and get ass fucked because why not. These people don’t deserve to show their face in public anymore, what a fucking disgrace.
Walter Masterson has a great video on trolling Chuck Schumer https://youtu.be/GzJBjVwWS6A
P.s. there fixed your algorithm for ya
"Standing up to trump didnt work… sure republicans were panicking and melting down at the overwhelming support democrats had at the time, literally convinced the GOP was on the verge of extinction, and had the overwhelming majority of people blaming Republicans for it all…
but I didnt want to risk the ACA subsudies actually going through, cause thats what I’ve already built my next campaign around, so we gave trump everything he wanted without getting a single thing"
Very nicely summarized
These traitors need to be removed from office.
Fucking christ, I hate Neoliberals
“Standing Up to Trump Didn’t Work…so I took the money and decided to get out of politics” FTFY
In any other circumstance, this would be the end of the conversation. There’s no point in further conversation because even when their entire job is literally “do nothing”, they refuse to do it. So, you walk away, tell Security to remove them from the building, and let them know all further communication will be done through legal representation.
The fact that this isn’t happening shows that the entire system was doomed to begin with.
They’re not up for reelection next cycle, so they’re already getting fired, it’s just too bad that’s not happening for several months and it already fucked this particular situation and everything behind it (and they’ll do it again before they’re gone).
The Democrats who caved just happened to be all safe in their districts with no upcoming elections. This is strategic like everything in politics. They stood to make more money by caving so it wasn’t just these eight, it was a group decision.
Not solving healthcare will of course work to their advantage. Gotta keep dangling that affordable healthcare carrot. Did you expect them to tackle another big important issue?
I wonder if I am getting little too cynical sometimes but the Democrats always convince I am not.
LESS THAN ONE FUCKING WEEK AFTER SWEEPING ELECTION DAY
Yup. Snatching defeat from the stomach of victory.
I mean these spinless MF’ers had to reach down deep, past the jaws of victory, just to pull out the comfort of being a conservative.
Democrats held out until after the election, that’s all this was.
They promised big things for the election and then went back to the status quo as soon as it was over.
Same as it ever was for these ratfuckers.
Just make him a fucking king already then, you spineless mollusks. That’ll make your jobs much easier so you won’t have to make hard decisions like choosing to fight for your constituents.
Being a democrat is like having commanding officers most of which cannot grasp which end of a gun the bullets come from.
It’s not stupidity or cowardice, the dems who voted to reopen are doing this on purpose. Their interests dont align with the well being of the vast majority of Americans.
Well this is pretty much exactly what Republicans needed.
They pitched that they were perfectly willing to be reasonable and the democrats were the crazy ones.
Now they pass an extension, specifying to block the non-existent illegal immigrant gap and say “see, we were ready to take care of the people, but the democrats forced things to be bad, and these few democrats reluctantly came over which just proves they were in the wrong”
Another chunk of what I assume is their strategy: Make 2025 bad in ways to make it easier to make 2026 feel great by comparison.
The Democrats don’t do shit except send me weekly texts from ActBlue begging for money. That’s the only time I hear from them or there is some outreach. I’ll never send a cent ever again. The state of our country is partially their fault for not even maintaining a functional party with candidates that don’t require holding your nose.
Senator Angus King is in the Trump/Epstein files confirmed.
It literally was. His approval was collapsing. Why the fuck is this so hard for anyone with an ounce of power?
They like retaining power more than actually standing up for what is right.
I got news about that retention with the direction we are going
Pretty sure all the ones that did this aren’t up for election.
These slimy fucks just used the shutdown to win the elections.We need to impeach them, or somehow get the electorate to have a memory longer than a goldfish
They won’t need a memory much longer than that if they keep being reminded of just how much they’ve been massively fucked over and over again.
Or do the other thing that any other country would have done by now
The ones that voted are either A) Retiring, or B) Not up for Reelection in '26, yes.
They almost certainly did this either under pressure from the air travel lobby to not let this disrupt the thanksgiving air travel season, or because they were actually worried that Trump was going to get enough votes to nuke the filibuster.
They’re focused on all the do-nothing jobs and speaking opportunities post-retirement.
STOP thinking about Yourself and START thinking about the Rich People who’s Private Jets were being Grounded and Stocks going DOWN! This was ALMOST becoming a TRAGEDY! It’s a GOOD thing Dems caved when they did before something CATASTROPHIC happened like
MILLIONS of Children going Hungry!MILLIONS of Working Class Families losing Healthcare!Rich people Feeling UNCOMFORTABLE!Oh, I think about the rich… Lately, I’ve been thinking about them a whole lot.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Gouge their eyes, eat their ears, rip their bowels through their nose.
Head, shoulder knees and toes, knees and toes.
I imagine they see reality quite differently from people younger than them do. Like a box was built around them to keep them blind. Nothing else makes sense.
money
Money means fuck all if you empower your radical fascist political enemy. You’ll either die in a ditch or in prison.
True, look at all the oligarchs Putin offed to steal their money. Maybe Trump will kill Elon. I hear they aren’t friends anymore.
I’m pretty sure some of their flights out of DCA were moderately delayed. It was horrific!
Ezra Klein had an interesting take which was that the shutdown was to actually to bring attention to the healthcare subsidy issue in a very public way, even though they knew Trump would never negotiate on the issue in the end. But now they have a massive policy cudgel, and the media initiative heading into the midterms.
Ezra Klein can eat shit
An abundance of shit
Remember how well “if you can’t fight them, join them!” worked for all of those people in Nazi Germany and WW2? Definitely caving in to the Nazis was a smart move…
Trump is a loser piece of shit wannabe Nazi, you don’t cave to Nazis, you fight them at all costs because caving is always worse than you think it is.
Tbf you’d have to actually try first instead of caving immediately.
