Excerpt from today's #NYT
#US #Senate #Politics #Democrats #Schumer #Caved #Government #Shutdown #GOP
Chuck #Schumer has been my #senator for years, but I agree with a post on Substack's Letters From God: "One of the main reasons American #fascism is winning ... is because of COWARDS like Schumer who refuse to fight back. You cannot compromise with #fascists. " https://substack.com/inbox/post/159081408
"Schumer broke 2 prime rules of politics for leaders. 1t, don’t defy your own troops. More importantly, when you have the votes, as Schumer did, don’t capitulate w/o getting something in return."
-D Dayen
The only ones who strongly favored giving Trump what he wanted were Schumer’s toady, K Gillibrand of NY, & J Fetterman of PA. With 53 Rs in the Senate *R Paul -opposes the CR, it'd take 8 Dems to pass cloture. #Schumerdecided to defy the maj. of his own caucus.
