The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, argued that He had to support the republican CR Because if not, the government would close and Trump would have an unlimited power to empty the federal government.
The argument was Hogwash when he did. Nancy Pelosi demystified it.
Indeed, shortly after Schumer gave in and the CR was passed, Donald Trump did this:
What you look at is part of an executive decree that has emptied seven government agencies, notably Voice of America and the Smithsonian. You can also see that Trump’s EO Guts agencies for community development and the development of minority businesses and discuss the issue of homelessness.
Chuck Schumer told the nation that the government should be opened, so that Congress could verify Trump and prevent it from unlimited to empty the government, so where is the Senate right now?
The Senate is on recess.
A government closure would have funded executive power. This would not have prevented Trump and Musk from hacking the federal government, but it would have forced the president to have a confrontation with the Democrats to arrest musk and this behavior.
The closure would have been the first decision of the Democrats, not the last. Thanks to Schumer, the Democrats have no leverage as long as the debt ceiling must be increased in a few months to avoid a defect.
Schumer’s apology For keeping the government open, there was a false and was immediately refuted by Trump’s behavior.
Democrats have learned that there are a group of their own senators who cannot be trusted to fight for them.
The feeling of betrayal that many Democrats feel today are real. It is the same feeling that many had when the party pushed Joe Biden of the ticket, even if the primary democratic voters chose him as a candidate. Whether it is the right thing to do or if the primary should have been dealt with in another way, these are different questions.
The fact is that there is a collection of elitist democrats in the government and in the media; Think of the Pod Save America Guys / Ezra Klein, who does not listen to what democratic voters want and, frankly, don’t care.
These people, from Schumer to Down, continue to make decisions, and there is soon an account in the Democratic Party.
