Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is getting blasted for admitting Democrats are playing political games with the government shutdown with no regard for the pain it’s inflicting on the American people.In an interview with Punchbowl News, the Democrat leader “was as bullish as he’s ever been about his shutdown strategy,” telling the outlet “every day gets better for us.”
Trump officials and Republican lawmakers slammed Schumer for what they said was a "disgusting and revealing statement."

In some ways he is right when you consider Sen. Moreno indicated that the GOP should eliminate the filibuster to get the government open.
Doesn't he realize that's their end game goal?

DemoRoids don’t do anything without considering the political implications, including going to the bathroom!
A pox on Schumer, the rest of the DemoRoids, and their agit-prop arm, AKA the legacy media!
Bless their little hearts.

Did anyone here actually think Schumer was going to stop being a POS? It's in his DNA, and added to that, he's a democrat!

Seen two articles in the last two days where Democrats claim Trump wants a shutdown to prevent the release of more Epstein files. Really?!? Toxic people give us toxic government. Our government spends money it does not have and has racked up 37 trillion in debt so far. They have to cut spending. It has to be done. Unfortunately, too many in government prefer it to be run like a criminal organization. They get rich off it.

We’re nine days in, what happened to the layoffs, etc. that were supposed to happen after 48 hours? Everyone has gone silent on this. DOGE wasn’t even equivalent to trimming a pinky toenail on the federal behemoth. Will this opportunity be squandered? There will never be another chance at this once Trump is out.

Not as vile as senile Joe Biden admitting that the democrats had the perfect cheating machine in place to steal the 2020 election and everybody ignored that little slip. Schumer is not as vile as Slow Joe but he's right up there.

It seems to me that the 'Rats are very much like the Hamas leadership in Qatar before it was eliminated by Israel.
First, their negotiation tactics: "Give me Everything that I want First, then we'll TALK about giving you what you want." - of course with no intention to agree to anything, just drag it out, as they already got what they wanted.
Second, Schumer, his minions in the Senate, and their staffers are getting paid, and they don't care about the Federal workers who are not being paid, and who are watching the bills pile up. Just like the Hamas 'leaders' in Qatar, who were Billionaires, and who had no regard for the people in Gaza who suffered under Hamas' tyranny.

II suggest the Republican's start making cuts in the bill to re-open, make more cuts every time the Democrats vote it down. Then maybe after a few weeks negotiate away some of the cuts.

I got an idea. Cut the money going to bureaucrats. Don’t pay them till it’s over. Use their money to pay for military and the real essential workers.

Chuck thinks his "I hate Trump" theatrics is going to save his Senate seat and his majority leadership.
He is not correct. The left wing wants him gone.
