The Schumer Shutdown

[Hans Blaster]

Why would Schumer want a coup? Hmmm.... I wonder

They can't stop him with indictments...
They can't stop him by criminal charged - even the ones that won
They can't stop him with over 900 inquiries and complaints his first term
They can't stop him with a two year 40,000,000 investigation involving 1,000,000 pages of information - 2,500 subpoenas interrogations on two continents by - 19 government attorney's - 40 special agents.
They can't stop him by elections
They can't stop him after he was shot on national TV
They can't stop him by endless complaints
They can't stop him by endless accusation of any one of a number of things
They can't stop him by getting him thrown off the ballot for re-election
They can't stop him through the courts

Perhaps you are right - a military coup might be something Schiff wants

What a weird series of fantasies must live in your head. Nothing about "coups coming from unpaid troops" implies that that is somehow the intent of any legislator. SMH.

It is a historical fact that troop mutinies have come from poor conditions, particularly LACK OF PAY. (See, for example, the mutinies in the Continental Army.)

You mean other than mid term elections?

That’s still a long way off. I’m sure the GOP led Congress will come to their senses before then.

Except the one who made it happened and is stonewalling. That would be Schumer. No fantasy - just a musing.

Why is Schumer not doing things to help them? It is the same CR he supported just six months ago.

It isn't. The base budget law was changed by the "BBB".

The current continuing resolution (CR) offered in Congress is based on the old budget levels from FY25, not a new budget. Here's the breakdown:

• CR Timeline: The House Appropriations Committee released the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026, which funds the government through November 21, 2025.
• Budget Basis: The CR continues funding at FY25 levels, as Congress has not passed any of the twelve FY26 appropriations bills. Only a few have cleared either chamber, and none have reached the President.

That isn't fantasy in my mind - that is established fact.

I thought they were the ones trying to STOP umpteen million Americans effectively being kicked off healthcare?

I'm confused - what does the IRS mean when they say this?

The One, Big, Beautiful Bill has a significant effect on federal taxes, credits and deductions. It was signed into law on July 4, 2025, as Public Law 119-21.​

You should stop trusting AIs they is dumb. the "BBB" changed the FY25 levels after the March CR.

All you’re missing is proof. Maybe ai could help you.

Of course you can show clearly were the clean CR is different from the same one back in March

I look forward to seeing your facts, because I know it’s not a fantasy in your head.

A CR is "keep doing the same things as before". "Before" has changed.

I just amazes me that Trump is so dedicated to rewarding his billionaire mates with tax cuts that he will shut the government down rather than guarantee the bottom 16 million will not be cut off healthcare!

Talk about stealing from the pool to give to the rich!

Oh, 9 billion rescinded - well that makes perfect sense why Schumer is holding the government hostage for hi 1.5 TRILLION dollar increase.

The Republicans voted "yes" to fund the government and keep it open. The democrats (led by Schumer in the Senate) voted "no", and continue to do so.

What on Earth does this have to do with anything?

S9 America shouldn't have a first world healthcare system that's covers everyone at half the cost (saving your debt!) ... just because... Immigrants!

Can you even begin to perceive how petty carping and racist that sounds to people outside the USA where universal healthcare is a right?

Are you really saying that 40 something baddies disqualifies the bottom 16 million Americans from healthcare?

That Trump should reward his billionaire mates with tax cuts while kicking the bottom 16 million Americans off healthcare to afford it?

How is this even remotely a Christian policy, a compassionate policy, a policy that treats other human beings as made in the image of God?

What you are looking at is government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

Didn't you know that's what BBB stood for?
