Thune and Schumer both make me sick. They both pointing fingers at each other instead of working together to have negotiations how to reopen the government. These people need to voted out. They work for their own self interest not the people they represent
Chuck is so ignorant and DELUSIONAL it's astonishing how long this ignorant Chuck has been in politics, I mean frfr its 15 times now his side voted NO on a client CR that my friends should let you know everything….
I wouldn't care where TRUMP goes or like your lies say, that he's giving billionaires tax-cuts. The government employees and SNAP recipients are both suffereing and they DON'T CARE about the latter two reasons for you SCHUMER SHUTDOW. TRUMP is actually doing WORK, something DEMOCRATS CAN'T DO. Also, the BALLROOM is being built by PERSONAL DONORS. SCHUMER IS FULL OF SHIAT!
THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE, THE SENATE, AND THE WHITE HOUSE. IF THEY REALLY WANTED THE GOVERNMENT OPEN, THEN THEY COULD USE THE NUCLEAR OPTION IN THE SENATE TO HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE TO PASS THEIR STUPID BILL AND OPEN THE GOVERNMENT UP!!!!!!!!
When biden ws in the white house and eemocrats controlled the house and the senate republicans gave in to all of their demands to keep the government open now donald trump is president and we have the house and senate they wont agree to anything
"President decides to fly off to another country and not negotiate with Democrats." … dude, it's CONGRESS'S JOB TO PASS A SPENDING BILL. It's the President's job to do exactly what he's doing. What meds are you on?
Don't pay taxes until the dems agree to stop the shutdown.
LOL…..Didn't even watch this thoroughly. Any properly trained pilot has been subjected to this situation several times. BTW…when you run out of fuel…you can and will land. AKA gravity.
Who’s blackmailing who? Someone is afraid to cave for fear of something coming out. That’s the only explanation for this.
It’s “items” not “times”. Watch the interview.
😂 this guy is so full of Sh**. He is rambling on about the upgrades to White House and how popular the Democratic Party is becoming🤥
😂how he calls Obama care a horrible health care.
Just circles around the facts to the shutdown. That the ball is really on their court to open it.
Thune is so full of it that I’m surprised that he can stand there and lie face to face with the American people. He apparently has learned from conman Trump how to starve the American people into submission.
The Democrats, should help Americans first. Quit hurting us.
Everything is better with it shut down. Why in the world would anyone want this reopened. No snap means more people working and lower grocery prices. No Obamacare subsidies means health care costs will come down. It's a win/win.
Why can't they filibuster another time? Right before the holidays and they leverage food stamps might be the most slime coated thing ever done. Unforgivably cold blooded
Why isn't the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP on all cable and internet news programs talking about how INSINCERE MAGA PARTY IS? They are SLEEPING AWAY on the job!!!
Schumer and the Dems care more about lining their pockets and needless spending than American people suffering.
No it's on your back the Democrats
Schumer is an example of someone who is alive only because it's illegal to delete him
Vote all Democrats out of Office!! 🤮🤡🤡 United we Stand, Divided we Fall in American soil 🇺🇸🗽💯🇺🇸🗽🎖️🎖️🙏🙏🤝 Vote for the clean resolution, you Democrat human beings !! Or are you not human anymore?❓?💬💬📜📜⌛🤷🤷
The Real Chuck Schumer: Power Over People
In the middle of a painful government shutdown — with federal workers missing paychecks and families struggling to buy groceries — Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer has shown Americans exactly what kind of man he is. Instead of fighting to end the shutdown and ease the suffering, Schumer bragged that “every day gets better for us” as the crisis drags on. To him, the shutdown isn’t a national hardship — it’s a political opportunity.
While millions worry about lost income and frozen benefits, Schumer is playing games in Washington. He accused the administration of “callously” freezing food-aid programs like SNAP — yet in the same breath, he uses those very struggles as ammunition in a political fight. He’s more focused on blaming Donald Trump and Republicans than on finding real solutions to help the people affected right now.
Even as he rails against “callousness,” his own words show the same thing. When a man says “every day gets better” while Americans suffer, it reveals his priorities. It’s not compassion. It’s calculation.
Chuck Schumer is the definition of a career politician — a man who sees national pain as leverage and public misery as momentum for his party. Instead of leadership, he offers finger-pointing. Instead of unity, he pushes division.
At a time when Americans need solutions, Schumer celebrates the shutdown as a political win. That says it all about what kind of man he truly is.
These guys better not be getting paid this year.
Term limits. Putz Schumer needs to go – 20 years ago.
Schummer shutdown
Same game with the same players. People going to work and not getting paid is total BS. How about these clowns not get paid and see how it feels to them!
The ballroom is NOT being pd for w tax dollars, Schumer is so stupid, he thinks Trump is supposed to be passing this law? THATS CONGRESS JOB!!! No wonder government is shut down! 😡🤯😡
The dems wont care if you hold back their checks theyre all rich that wont hurt them a bit
Global 🌎 solutions comment now that I put that out there my last message hopefully the Democratic party will start reading it and come to the negotiating table because they don't want all their piggy bank programs defunded and that money in turn can go straight to people's paychecks and go towards the snap program so this is a win-win strategy Global 🌎 solutions coming up with real solutions one day at a time!!! Global solutions rocks !!!???? Houston we have a lift off 🚀
Global 🌎 solutions strategy to get people their paychecks and to fund the snap program well Donald Trump can start the defunding some of the democratic parties piggy bank programs that the Democratic party has been using for their own agendas that's also been funding their illegitimate programs and that is considered wasteful spending and now that money can be allocated to fun people's paychecks and the snap program and now the Democratic party should be running to the negotiating table because they don't want to lose their piggy bank programs defunded Global 🌎 solutions coming up with real solutions one day at a time
I can safely say, I now understand why even the MSM won't interview Schumer.
Nobody cares about your stupid polls…everyone with a brain knows polls are manipulated to create talking points…
Schumer, instead of crying about the ballroom maybe tell you caucus to open the government!
If Republicans want to make a deal and open the Government Why are they on vacation and communicating to come to a conclusion..and they're receiving a income.while the people that are really working are not getting paid.. .Stop blaming the Democrats for all the chaos that the president started.
If your children are starving. Thank Chuck the Schmuck Schumer!
Schumer you are a liar.
It seem to Me that Schumer is punishing the American people because Trump was elected president!
SHUMER is all about HIMSELF. Remember this when he next runs. SHAME!
