The House Communist wing of the Democrat Party (progressives) is infuriated with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for negotiating a deal with Republicans to keep much of the government funded until September.
The Bolshevik Democrats are anti-negotiating and don’t care that Trump won the election. They are authoritarians.
Schumer’s caucus agrees with him, but not the Pinkos:
“I’m going to continue to tell you that Schumer needs to get the hell out over and over and over until he does,” far, far-left Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) told Axios.
“He continues to demonstrate to us that he can’t meet the moment,” she added.
Another House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer insights into private conversations among lawmakers, told Axios, “The main feeling among members is a lack of trust in his strength and ability to strike a hard bargain.”
ICE funding is uncertain and will only last through the 13th. Democrat commies want to abolish it since they are open-borders zealots. That’s how they get their one-party nation.
The House voted Tuesday to pass an appropriations package that funds the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, State, and Transportation until September.
It also keeps the Department of Homeland Security funded at 2025 levels until Feb. 13, so they can work out a deal.
The only deal Republicans should make is to kill the filibuster, as we know Democrats will do once back in office, so that they can keep power in perpetuity.
But while Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have said they won’t accept anything short of reforms of those agencies, their GOP counterparts have cast doubt on the prospect of a quick deal.
The Deal Pinkos Want Is Nuts
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) went so far as to tell reporters that a deal by Feb. 13 was an “impossibility,” floating a year-long stopgap funding bill to keep DHS open.
Jeffries has essentially threatened to allow a DHS shutdown if his demands aren’t met, saying in a statement Tuesday, “Absent bold and meaningful change, there is no credible path forward with respect to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill next week.”
But Schumer, asked if he would make the same ultimatum at a press conference with Jeffries on Wednesday, told reporters, “I’m just going to say we’re sending them a proposal, and we await their response.”
Senate Democrats—unlike their House counterparts—can block a DHS funding bill because it takes a 60-vote majority to pass it in the upper chamber.
“Every time that we are winning, we seem to somehow sabotage [it],” Ramirez fumed, noting that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has already ruled out several Democratic demands.
Bolshies count on weak Republicans to always give in.
Commie Jayapal:
Said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.): “Personally, I thought… that, ‘What are we going to get in 10 days that we didn’t get?’”
A second House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Axios that “all those spending bills, that is the most leverage,” and that “many folks in the [House] Democratic caucus wish that we had more confidence in Schumer’s ability to navigate a good, tough deal.”
Some progressive/commie House Democrats remain confident that the DHS bill provides enough leverage to secure concessions:
“I don’t think Republicans want a DHS shutdown,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told Axios.
She added, “If Donald Trump wants to … issue the State of the Union with the entire Department of Homeland Security shut down, I think that is a terrible indictment of his leadership. And I do think they care.”
Jayapal and Rep. Chuy García (D-Ill.) both argued that public opinion against ICE is another piece of leverage for Democrats, with García telling Axios, “They ought to be worried how their policies are faring with the American people.”
It’s so strange how Democrat operatives can start riots and all kinds of trouble, yet it looks like it’s all the fault of the Republicans, and Trump, of course. Partly, it’s the corrupt media always covering for them.
What Democrats want to fund ICE is absurd, and we’d best pray the GOP doesn’t cave. It would literally end deportations.
