    In all fairness, you know they had the full support of the Democratic Party.

      That is not true. You’ll have to prove your point.

        “Senator Chuck Schumer, your leader in the Senate, said ‘I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address health care, I am voting no.’ Did you do this outside leadership, and was there a big push for you not to join the others and break the 60 threshold?” Kilmeade asked.

        “No, we kept leadership informed throughout,” Shaheen responded.

        The Capitulation 8 aren’t up for re-election. They were chosen, because they have the least risk of losing their positions in the next election.

            It requires a modicum of critical thinking to understand this situation and the constant betrayal by Dems over the last 50 years. I know this is beyond most Americans’ capabilities, but keep trying.

            Just like the revolution, the fascist insurrection is not televised nor is it plainly documented for convenient reference.

        https://prospect.org/2025/11/08/why-does-schumer-keep-trying-to-cave-government-shutdown/

        Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were freelancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

        It seems either Leader Chuck Schumer conspired against the party at large, or they did have the support of Democrats.

            A professor who worked at the Boston Globe for 20 years before opening his own publication in 1990. Hes been a independent journalist since before most of Lemmy was born. Chuck knew and supported it. Or are you gonna ignore credible reporting that you don’t like? We got a party for people like that in America.

              I am not aware of him or his publication. The Heritage Foundation has been around a long time. Does he have a wikipedia page?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
