Schumer Orders Democrat Senators to Filibuster the House Passed Budget

[Seymour Flops]

Yep, good news, lets show Donald Chump that if you want people to cooperate with your plans you don't go around calling the Jewish minority leader of the senate "not Jewish anymore", kind of not the best way to go about things when you use antisemitism to attack a Jewish political opponent.

Of course magats and trumpanzees won't condemn his words because they are spineless weaklings who suddenly lose the ability to speak when trump acts this way, snowflakes all of them, not a real man among them.

I’m sure those who missed their Social Security and other federal retirement checks will take heart and knowing that at least Donald Chump got pwned.

They’ll say “OK so my cat is losing weight because I’m having to eat his food, but now Republicans know that Chuck Schumer is not to be trifled with!”

Yeah. Good luck in 2026…

There is nothing funny about you all wanting to shutdown the entire govt

Hilarious considering all the doge bullshit wanker.

They think it's funny because they think they can blame it on Republicans.

Schumer decides to go for a shut down. It’s on the Democrats. I’m good with it either way in the end. I think it helps out Trump firing more dead weight in the government bureaucracy if it happens

1. The Federal government needs to function.
2. There are other "simple majority" exceptions to the filibuster, like reconciliation.
3. So far the only sacred "filibuster cow" seems to be major legislation, not mundane/routine legislation.

Don’t forget #4:

If this was a Democratic administration, Republicans would be screaming in opposition.

An update: Not Filibustering.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5191954-senate-democrats-government-shutdown/

Senate Democrats say privately that they will not allow the government to shut down Saturday, despite growing pressure from activists and liberal lawmakers who want them to kill a GOP-crafted six-month stopgap spending bill.

Senate Democratic sources say Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) is giving plenty of room to centrists in his caucus to vote for the House-passed continuing resolution (CR) if doing so is the only way to avoid a government shutdown at week’s end.


And one Democratic senator familiar with the internal deliberations said Senate Democrats will ultimately vote to keep the government open, despite the rumblings of liberals within their caucus who are heaping scorn on the House-passed funding bill.

Still, the private assurances don’t rule out the possibility that something unexpected could happen to change the political calculus.

Schumer on Wednesday said Democrats would insist on voting on a monthlong CR to give congressional negotiators more time to reach a deal on an omnibus spending package. And he threatened that there are not enough votes to pass the House-approved funding bill.

But Democrats familiar with internal deliberations say that maneuver is designed to save face. They say the Democratic leader is giving members of his caucus space to vote how they see fit on the House-passed bill — recognizing it’s probably the only way to avoid a shutdown.

Social Security and Federal Retirement checks still go out during a shut down.

I thought dems hated a shutdown?

Are they afraid that DOGE has found the receipts leading back to them?

If that were true, wouldn’t the Dems want a shut down, since then the receipts would probably never be found?

 

[Rawley]

No orders needed. Dems are united.

RESIST

Nothing would make us happier than the Democrats shutting down the government

The thing is most of what happens during a shutdown is a dog and pony show. Checks will be issued, mandatory services will continue.

Even the workers will be paid once it's over, and any contracted work done during the period will still be paid.

 

[Moonglow]

I already blame maga republics for the shutdown.

After Trump called Schumer a, 'Palistinian', and, ' he is not Jewish', no wonder people are not cooperating.

that can be fixed. LOL

Those are the first things a democrat administration stops during a shutdown because they want to cause as much pain as possible so they can blame Republicans.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

So, looks like a "shut down".

And watch how the Dems with the full aiding and abetting of the liars in the MSM try to blame Republicans.

Don't fall for it.


Oh! The humanity. Democrats are about to inflict horrible damage to people, people losing Medicare and Medicaid en masse, with their filibuster of the House budget.

Senate Dems set to filibuster GOP budget resolution, raising shutdown fears

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said Democrats will stand in the way of efforts to pass a Republican-led budget patch that passed the House earlier this week with almost no bipartisan support.

which because the senate dens are responsible for shut down means dems are to blame watch the MSM claim republicans caused it.

I don't think we have seen that. What they do is shut down parks and museums and make a big show of things like that.

I stand corrected.

Dems are not going to help. Since MAGA considers compromise a dirty word, they can go it alone. Let’s watch as the Republicans teach us how to govern.

Sorry, but Dems are the only ones who are "our way or the highway"

Your denial of reality is both sad and pathetic. Sadthetic?
