1. Schumer's argument makes no sense to me.

2. Stary Nite, it made no sense to me either.

Which makes me wonder what choice do we really have. I did not believe a word he said. but that is standard operation procedure with most of these politicians. Shumer is no fighter in fact I think nothing much of him.

3. I agree.

Schumer is spineless. He needs to relinquish his position to somebody who is a fighter. We are losing our country and too many people are just rolling over for fear of the felon or other stupid reasons.

"in a shutdown the courts could close or be totally disabled, and the courts are one of the best ways we've had to go after these guys" -chuck schumer

in a shutdown it sounds like they could do even more damage and we wouldn't have the federal courts to run to so they can rule to get people back to work like those two courts did today

6. Both options are horrible.

It will pass and it won't be long before we find out what the consequences of that will be.

7. they *are* horrible. and it makes me think how we got to this place

and i hate those fucking trump voters even more than i have already
(hate, disdain, disgust, contempt -- regardless of how i want to define the way i think of them it sure as hell isn't with warm fuzzies!)

[StarryNite]

8. I hate the fucking felon voters too.

How can that many people be that fucking stupid?

9. i read your question (how can that many people be that fucking stupid?) and i just shook my head. i don't know...

covid brain? (the no mask/no vax morons?)
the uneducated who felt important b/c trump said he loved them?
they'd do anything to go against democrats including fucking themselves?
it was easier to vote for a criminal than vote for a woman?
not to mention that special bond they share with racists, misogynists, and anyone who hates who they hate?

i don't know. maybe all of the above.

[StarryNite]

10. I'm going with all of the above.

And the cult mentality. And that the average IQ in the US is now only around 98.
