True as turnips is. It was as true as taxes is. And nothing's truer than them.
Trump just lauded Chuck Schumer for caving on the Republican budget bill.
Chuck Schumer is a useless watery turd.
Chuck Schumer’s spineless flip on passing the House GOP funding bill has made him Trump’s new favorite Democrat—a dreadful look for the Senate minority leader.
On Thursday, Schumer announced he would vote to pass the GOP’s budget bill that would keep the government funded through September and avoid a government shutdown, despite signaling that he wouldn’t pass the bill the day before.
“Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing—Took ‘guts’” and courage! The big Tax Cuts, L.A. fire fix, Debt Ceiling Bill, and so much more, is coming,” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday morning.
“Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning!” Trump added.
The bill, which narrowly passed in the Republican-led House this week, is a disaster, and all but one House Democrat voted against it. It would gut funding for health care and homeless shelters, increase military spending, fund mass deportation, and codify Trump’s plan to dismantle the federal government.
Schumer is on board, arguing that a shutdown would be worse than passing the bill because it would give Trump and Elon Musk “carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now.”
Many on the left are calling for Representative Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez to primary him in response.
I would argue against such an action.
AOC won the first time because no one believed that she could possibly win against the number 4 Democrat in the House of Representatives.
When it became clear it was competitive, it was too late.
She would not have that advantage this time.
If she were to run, and almost inevitably lose, it would be the end of her political career.
She is widely loathed by the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment), and without the power of incumbency, she would be subject to every dirty trick in the book, and likely a not insignificant amount of lawfare in any new election.
Some other things could be done. A good start would be lobbying the Working Families Party to drop him from their ballot line (New York State has a weird electoral system) for the 2026 election.
Also, start targeting his cronies.
