“AOC reportedly called Chuck Schumer tonight, and according to a source close to the conversation, berated him for over an hour in an expletive-laden call. At several points, she called him a “weak beta btch,” “fcking useless,” and vowed to take his job.

Democrats in shambles.”

 

Schumer really screwed the pooch on this one..in fact he screwed America.

Hopefully with the end of the shutdown this will be coming to a head very shortly.

Schumer voted against the bill last night. @HellToupee, as usual, failed to provide any link to his story and I strongly doubt it happened as it makes no sense whatsoever.

Of course Hell Toupee didn't provide a link, because it is a story that somebody just made up. He posts fake news like this all the time.

Judging by this thread, the MSM must have instructed its sheeple to flank to Muh Epstein$#@! since they lost their attempt to hurt the American people by keeping the government shut down.   

[Strike 6,023]

Just gonna point out that I was right, again.  Now that the election is over the Dems have no use keeping the government closed, so they caved.  It's disgisting how they used causing pain to the American people for political gain but hopefully the House passes this thing quickly so we can open the government back up.

Lol you were wrong again. The Democrats didn’t cave. 8 Democrats chose, against the wishes of the rest, to reach a compromise. The public understands that the Dems have very few options here, with Republicans in control of everything. 
 
Now there’s going to be a vote on extending the increased ACA subsidies for another year next month, which forces Republicans to do what they have tried so hard to avoid: actually having to vote on this issue. If they agree to extend the benefits, which the overwhelming majority of Americans want (including a sizable number of MAGA supporters) that’s a huge victory for the Democrats and absolutely justifies the shutdown, if the bill fails, or is stalled out in the House, or Trump ends up vetoing, that will help to ensure the almost already guaranteed blue wave next November- though this latter result will hurt millions of Americans if it happens, it won’t hurt Democrats politically. Either way, in terms of politics, Democrats emerge the winners from last night.

There was no compromise Tim.  They just worded it in a way to save face.  HTH.

No I was busy watching the Steelers get thrashed. But it only helps the Democrats for the majority of them to be opposed to ending the shutdown. If you don’t understand that then you don’t understand politics. 
 

Did you make up the story about AOC? Or did someone else online make it up and you simply decided to post it without a link?

The Democrats caved.  There was no way Trump was going to negotiate.  He had no problem causing mass chaos and hunger in order to win.

The public saw what happened.  They blamed Trump for the showdown, and millions will lose their insurance.  This was a big loser for Trump in the public eye.  No one except the Trump nuthuggers are gonna care that Trump won the war of the wills.  They will only see that they suffered and will suffer because of it.

When he quashed the Epstein files and moved a child sex trafficker to minimum security prison. I’m still waiting to find out if Kash cracked the case of who forged that underaged sex doodle and signed Don’s name to it. Heard of Binance? They used to do business either way terrorists and child pornographers. Don pardoned their CEO and went into business with him.

Yep.  What libs like BannedArtest don't understand. Progressives aren't going to be swayed by anything Trump does.  It's the independents and conservatives that matter.  Don't get me wrong.  He works to do what's best for the country, including libs, but they'll never give him credit and will fight everything.  But  the conservatives and independents tend to be more informed and know what's going on.  And those two groups know this was Schumer's baby.

I didn’t. I told Strike he shouldn’t be calling other people liars when he lied about Tim being a pedo. You’re the guy who said defending pedos is as bad as being one.

Tim's own words say he's a pedo.  Unless you agree with him that it's ok to give drugs to and have sex with a 13 year old if she "looks older" and is promiscuous.  Those statements are not in dispute.  There is simply no way to conclude anything different than he's a pedo.  You're like him though.  When it comes to some topics your bar for "proof" is a full confession.

That is paraphrasing and slightly mischaracterizing what Angus King said. 

 From AI overview:

In an October 2025 press release, King stated:

 

"But as serious as the health insurance crisis is, I believe the shutdown itself and the additional powers it conveys to Donald Trump and his henchmen, is the greater risk."

If you weren't lazy and actually looked at the results, you will see, particularly in NJ, that the Democrat outperformed the Republican by a much wider margin than just a year ago.

This was an up and down beating, from school boards in PA to Mississippi house and senate, the results were clear.  America doesn't approve of Donald Trump.

Deny it all you want, next year will be even more glorious.

I’m not disputing what Tim said. I’m saying Tim saying something tasteless about Polanski years ago doesn’t mean that he himself is a pedophile. Since you bring it up 437 times per week you should try to be accurate.
