Senate Democrat on shutdown: ‘So far, so good’ for party

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

That's what is really important. What's good for the people isn't a consideration. It's what's good for the party that matters.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said the government shutdown has benefited Democrats so far, while congressional Republicans have “skedaddled” as the government stays closed.

Speaking with “Morning Joe” co-host Jonathan Lemire on MSNBC, Whitehouse was asked about his faith in Democratic leadership and the pay risks to federal workers as the shutdown entered its eighth day.

“You know, I think [for] Democrats, it’s so far, so good,” Whitehouse told Lemire.

SOME POSTERS, like me, are not necessarily MODERATE.

You're assuming that an open government is good for the people.

With Trump and his disastrous reign as King, it is not good for the people.

You're definitely not a moderate.

I would never be guilty of such naivete.

The Senate put the House on vacation. Whitehouse is just another Dim Democrat.

Ultimately it comes down to congress not wanting to be held accountable.

He really spelled out the gambit very well there as well as properly explaining specifically why they run that gambit.

Really wish we had a more informed electorate. It's a shame that we do not...

Party over country is killing us. The incentives all make it worse.

There are things we can do to change the system under which these people operate. We just don't care enough. OR, too many of us LIKE this shit.

LOL....Please vile dems....Don't change a thing.

Why would the House convene during the shutdown? To give speeches about how much it sucks that Senate Democrats and "not Democrats" are filibustering reopening government?

They would rightly be accused of grandstanding if they did that.

Johnson denied the vile dems the chance for their soundbites....Now the MSM has to get out and chase them down.

What's good for "the people" is the Federal Government in its current gigantic, ravenous and corrupt incarnation being shut down..... FOREVER.

Here's hoping DOGE v2.0 : The Schumer Shutdown Edition is WAY bigger than DOGE v1.0 and while we're at it, lets institute daily public canings for all Congress Critters, just for laughs.

 

[Hellokitty]

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the firings that were supposed to happen.

Whats gonna happen is they go through this again in a few weeks and republicans use the shutdown as reason to "work" with democrats and screw us over.

Democrats have to hold the line. People could lose their health care coverage. Where are all the so-called, "Right to Life" MAGA MAGGOTS?

We'll show you!

Who?

Your "right to life" does not include stealing from me. I take a dim view of vile dem thieves.

 

[BluesLegend]

Look Dems are at rock bottom. They don't have a leader. They have no new ideas, nothing new to offer. Their numbers are in the toilet. Trump mocks them at every turn.

THE ONLY THING Dems can do is MANUFACTURE a crisis then try to pin the blame on Republicans.
