The Democratic Party in Trump's Fascist 2nd Term. Commentary, Ideas & Strategy (+ non Woketicism)

From what I've seen, part of the agreement with Senate Republicans was that SNAP would be funded for a year, all federal employees that were fired during the shutdown would be rehired, and all federal employees, including those that were fired, would get back pay.

Yeah. It isn't a coincidence that the Senators that defected are either retiring, or don't have an election next year.

 

An agreement with Senate Republicans is worth, and I'm being literal here, nothing.

 

Exactly. Expect the House to remove the various funding Dems got, then it will go through on reconciliation.

 

Let's break this down:

• SNAP funding - The Trump admin will probably pay this out. But they'll drag their heals or exact some other pain.
• Federal employees hired back - Trump will say that's up to him and they won't be hired back.
• Back pay - Same thing: Trump will say that's up to him and they won't (all) get the back pay.

So, what exactly did they get for this capitulation?

 

Yup.

But you still don't allow Angus King to go out there today and say what he did!

 

Not only Schumer. These 8 need to stripped of any committee assignments that are of any importance at all and treated as toxic

 

Or Tim Kaine being like “there are way more of us who wanted to vote this way and they’re glad we brave soldiers did!”

Like, man, don’t admit that.

 

It’s an obvious rumor…by that I mean, I knew this was going to be a rumor whether it’s true or not.

That’s another reason why I’d like Warren or someone to push in caucus to replace Durbin. Let’s find out where everyone, especially Schumer, stands.

 

Or Trump will just impound it.

 

Speaking of Kaine ...

The United States is going to hell.

But at least Tim Kaine can sleep at night.

 

His press conference will make anyone go on a jihad.

Let's not forget David Hogg was kicked out for wanting to stop this kind of crap from happening.

 

He's not a Democrat.

 

This shows how stupid this is. That provision is already law, so one of their wins was...?

 

I've known several people who have had strokes. They can cause brain damage, but not always. Sometimes people can fully recover. It depends on what exactly happened.

 

More weakness from Rashida. He doesn't need to step down: he should be forced out of leadership and forced to resign or be primaried in disgrace.

 

She’s not even a senator. She has barely more influence in this than you or I do. Not weakness. But I’m not sure her calling for anything is particularly helpful

 

Like Sinema,he is amassing generational wealth by doing business's bidding.
At least I hope he's making money of this scam.

 

Fetterman comes from a wealthy family though. He’s admitted this. Nor is he Sinema.

 

He caucuses with the Democrats. That's what matters.

Why the Democrats Finally Folded

Again ... this is why we can't have nice things.

Or an effective opposition party.

 

This observation rings true:

Chuck Schumer Doesn’t Know What Time It Is

That's right. But they don't have the stomach to fight. They don't even understand it. It's just not the way so many Democrats think about any of this.
