Senate Dems Throw in the Towel

PJ Media

Democrats finally caved.

After weeks of posturing, sound bites, and hashtags, Senate Democrats folded like a cheap lawn chair. The government will reopen after a handful of Democrats finally agreed to vote with Republicans to end the shutdown—without giving Chuck Schumer and his caucus anything close to a win.

This is what capitulation looks like, and the left knows it.

The deal is simple. Schumer’s caucus agreed to advance a package of spending bills that will reopen the government and extend funding through January.

That’s it. More

  1. While their democRAT propaganda may have made some of their dumbed-down followers more angry at the Republican party, I think they made more enemies as any reasonable thinking person can clearly see that their only real goal is to inflict pain for Americans by being a giant monkey wrench to America.

  2. Keep this in mind: when the Dems forced 0-care through Congress 15 years ago, they wanted ‘Medicare For All’, i.e. gov’t-run healthcare. They knew that they couldn’t get enough Dem votes. And there were zero GOP votes. So they created a plan with built-in sabotage, designed to tug at hearts and force ‘MFA’ into reality. In 2021 they realized they wouldn’t be able to get the votes, but under the cover of covid they were able to do a short-term fix – which expires at the end of December. Point being that every step of this was intentional. If they had a greater majority back in 2010-11 they would have gone all the way, but since they couldn’t, they created a future crisis. Well, it didn’t work. They have been exposed.
    Although I still don’t entirely trust GOP to do the right thing, even Trump has made some really socialist statements that bother me.

  3. I’m disappointed that Failure Thune didn’t push for the filibuster.

    We could have see most of President Trump’s EO codified, all of the findings of DOGE fixed, every politician thrown in jail for trying to thwart ICE and their duties, and all of the Election changes required to keep them from fraud.

    Now, we have to fight RINOs Mike Johnson and John Thune and their RINO Senators and Representatives.

  4. Remember when they were calling President Trump TACO (Trump always chickens out)?

    Yeah, like on July 13, 2024.
    No I have never heard the TACO ridicule, but I certainly believe they used it. After all we’ve all heared worse!

  5. As scripted!!!!!

    Next created crisis; the space object on its way here? You know there is something being cooked up by the uniparty grifters.

    Here’s a way to cut costs:

    America needs to wake the heck up and SEE that congress is the JABBA THE HUT of the our government.

    They have ensured that they are exempt from every bill they enslave us with.

    Plus, they are allowed to vote for their own pay raises.

    The senate at the least needs to go back to state control. Stay home and get paid by your own constituency!! IF they vote for it!
    No fancy housing in DC. Military condos, only.

    No perks allowed that are not enjoyed by our military! Same medical, no dental, and so on.

    20 + years for retirement!!

    The bastards are robbing America even when they leave and even when they die!

    How much insurance (or retirement) does their family get when the office holder croaks in or out of office?

    And where did that investigation go that was going to expose the tax payer paying hush money for their misbehaviors?

    That’s not a raise! The money I slip in that pocket is “security”. To protect me from the consequences of my, own, choices.

  7. @Wilson, According to The Hill

    The compromise proposal includes language to retain more than 4,000 federal workers targeted for layoffs during the shutdown as well as language to prevent the Trump administration from firing additional federal workers through reductions in force (RIFs) for the length of the newly drafted continuing resolution — until Jan. 30.

    “It’ll be logically impossible now for them to claim the shutdown wasn’t their fault…but they’ll make the claim anyway.”

    Logic is White Supreas…supino…Nazi.

    You RACIST.

    > compromise proposal includes language to retain … federal workers targeted for layoffs

    Sure hope they can get this to The Resolute Desk, before TACO Tuesday.

  10. The republicans refuse to eliminate the filibuster because it would eliminate the last excuse they have for failing to codify into law any of what Trump is trying to accomplish. They are deep state as much as the most communist of the demorats and they are showing their colors with this refusal. It allows them what they want in the first place, the continuation of the communist plan for government in the US.

  11. @Annon. I doubt anyone wants to get tagged in political ads for firing even federal workers leading into the holidays.

    I’m just wondering if there will be another shutdown in the new year, perhaps in early October and stretched into election season. I suspect they are all gearing up for a repeat performance on the expectation that holding SNAP bennies and firing nonessentials is a sure means of firing up the democrat base again.
