Dem Senator Went Against Chuck on the Schumer Shutdown

Chuck Schumer now says Democrats won’t shut the government down. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says he will vote to keep the government open, signaling a path for Democrats to vote with Republicans to overcome a filibuster in the Senate and pass a six-month spending bill ahead of a Friday deadline.

Schumer delivered a lengthy speech explaining his decision to support the stopgap plan, known as a continuing resolution, or CR. Speaking from the Senate floor on Thursday, Schumer argued that a shutdown would give President Trump more power and “is a far worse option.”

“As bad as passing the CR is, allowing Donald Trump to take even more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option,” Schumer said.

What brought about this change of heart? Perhaps Chuck was trying to frighten the Republicans, or maybe he listened to John Fetterman.

AOC is a noisy gong and a clashing symbol, apparently with less brain power or common sense than either metal instrument. She is so far into her alternative subjective reality, that she is incapable or reading or understanding simple truths.

There were a few other dems also in the background.

Notice that Schumer’s claimed decision is based on how it affects Trump, not on the bill. He supported wholeheartedly bills just like that the past 4 years.
