    It’s frankly incredible just how devoted the US Democratic party is to losing. They’re so ridiculously ineffectual.

    My YES vote is not an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR. My YES vote is [100 percent] about refusing to shut our government down. I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos. -Fedderman

    For fuck sake man, have you looked around? Shutting down everything and nerfing this tool’s ability to direct anyone to do anything would be less chaotic than it is right now.

      You can’t blame him. He is brain damaged. That’s why he’s conservative. He’s the only DEI hire that should be removed.

        alot of stroke often turn into a nutty right winger, or a nutty right winger christian. tila tequila, kevin sorbo, or had brain damage from other sources. i was watching a video of someone with schizophrenia and how he fell into the right wing/fundamentalism rabbit hole and said it was a very dangeorus mix.

    They knew they were going to get crapped on for this. I’m glad she’s saying it, but Fetterman and Schumer don’t give a shit you can believe that, and I see no reason to think the rest of them do either.

      fetterman is a no brainer in voting for it, but the others have same donors as the gop probably threatened them to pull funding thier livelyhood.

      only if we’re going to get on that john brown timing we should go in with a better plan. not saying not to go in on that john brown timing. john brown and john g fee both did important things and i think they both were recuired to make forward progress and our current problem is we haven’t enough browns and we have too many fees

    I can understand that some people become afraid of Nazis and bend the knee, but these people didn’t even put up a fight.

    Chuck you fuckin fuck you. Always plenty of Democrats to give Republicans what they want, and then when the shoe is on the foot they pretend to be overpowered at every step. Ohh won’t someone not think of the Senate parlitarian. Fucking worthless sobs.

    inexplicable? this is what they do. this is what they’ve done as long as I’ve been aware.

    has this woman ever met a senate dem? this should shock exactly nobody. we all knew this was who they were. that’s why nobody voted for them-the fascists would do a coup, and they would just hand over power, so what would the point have been?

    I honestly feel like they did it on purpose because they know the cuts are gonna hurt rural states more, which sucks if you’re not heartless. But hey buyer beware.
