Pelosi sees which way the wind is blowing:

Schumer's coalition to vote Yes appears to be crumbling - we'll see if he can pull it out with a few votes, but as Leader I think he may be cooked (as he should be). Gillibrand, who railed against the No votes for him so loudly yesterday that the press could hear her screaming behind the sealed doors, is now also pointedly ducking the press.

Clearly, Chuck Schumer never received the memo informing him that "politics as usual" was dead.

The problem is.. with the economy tanking, a Demcorat led shutdown will shift the blame away from Trump.. and I think Schumer is wanting to make 1,000% certain everything that happens in on Trump's head

yes Schumer pretty much said that, but how many people have to suffer in the next years while medicaid is defunded?  Strategizing about blame works for those who can afford what's coming.  Not for the rest of us.

I totally agree with this sentiment. HOWEVER...

Let's face it: Half of the voting electorate is downright ignorant. "Stupid" is the more stark term. And those folks would blame Dems regardless.

But the sheer fact is? Many that once voted for Dems swarmed to Trump. And as awful as it is, maybe they HAVE TO FEEL that hurt to be reminded of what they foolishly decided to throw away for a con man. As is said, a toddler will keep trying to touch a hot stove until they are burned.

I am NOT saying I don't feel for anyone about to suffer, but in reality, Dems can posture and do all sorts of rallies and try to obstruct, but voters gave the GOP all three branches. Voters claim they wanted this. So now they must face the consequences of that train of thought. Because a minority party can do only so much - unless and until the American people wake up and join in, too.

I'm also starting to boycott products. That was it. No more clothes from certain stores. I'm not supporting dictators. 

Someone give that reporter a raise. 🤣

A long, fairly damning interview with Schumer, both before and after this week's disaster.

I think Chuck Schumer is a good man whose point of view on certain issues I can understand and sympathize with - at a different time. This is woefully out of touch. I think it's time to go.

Another Project 25 goal accomplished with Trump signing an EO to get rid of the Department of Education.

This act can't be done with just an EO.  It has to be approved by Congress.  There is already a GOP Senator, Bill Cassidy who has said he will bring this up for a vote.  However, I don't think it will pass through Congress as I believe 60 votes are needed.  I would be shocked if any Dem senator voted for it so it will most likely fail.

I don't believe any Dem would approve this nonsense. Hoping this ridiculousness fails.
