Schumer caves in. Another victory for Trump.
“I believe it is my job to make the best choice for the country to minimize the harms to the American people, Schumer said Thursday on the Senate floor, according to Newsweek. “Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.”


It seems that the Senate democrats have decided that a government shutdown would not only hurt the already suffering democrat party but also allow the President to make further cuts and determine what elements of government were essential. After all the tough talk minority leader Schumer said that he, himself would vote to keep the government open, thus pretty much insuring passage of the Republican funding bill.


It would appear that this gives the President and Congressional Republicans and important victory on the federal budget. The vote still has to take place sometime today.

It has been a busy month or so for fact reporters like yours truly. Covering the opening month of America's Golden Age can be a daunting task. As I recall the great Edward R Murrow would go through packs of Camel cigarettes in the course of a day.

The sad part of the Democrats refusal is that the items in the CR are the same as the items in CR's passed at the end of the Biden Administration.  The only real change is who the President is.

Not exactly. The part about redefining a “ calendar day ” is new.

No, the real change is that Congress just gave away their power.

Oh oh. The little bartender girl is mad...........

"I believe that's a tremendous mistake," she told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday afternoon, pointing to contentious town halls that GOP lawmakers have experienced in recent weeks as evidence that Americans do not support the MAGA agenda. "American people, whether they are Republicans, independents, Democrats, are up in arms about Elon Musk and the actual gutting of federal agencies across the board."

So out of touch........

The lefts heroes are an interesting bunch, a horse face bartender and a little terrorist girl [] the [] Botox queen who got rich through insider trading is pretty much irrelevant, she had the good sense to disappear when things got bad.

The Democrats have no plan, the Democrats have no leader -  the Democrats have no chance to rein in Trump without those two things.

They are wailing and whining, but the Idiot in Chief continues to mangle the government and detroy the country's standing in the world.

And the Democrats are content to watch

You mean not allowing the world to use the US as their security forces and bank?  It's long past due that they do for themselves and quit relying on the US for, well, everything.

Maybe Chuck didn't like how catchy the Schumer shutdown was?

And with Schumer and Fetterman caving, the party of hissy fit is having a meltdown.

Talking tough at breakfast, caving by lunch.. Good job Chuckie boy.

But he called republicans "bastards" to signal to his base what a tough guy he is though.

Maybe it is nuanced but there is a difference between caving and having no choice.  Schumer didn't cave any more than Zelensky and Putin caved.  

Do not underestimate the power of retribution.
