Schumer, who was the target of near-universal vitriol among Democrats in March when he backed down in a budget battle that threatened to evolve into a shutdown, was quick to announce his opposition to the deal and he voted against it Monday night.

But in fact, his fingerprints are all over it.

    Oh, gee, are the 2026 candidates free to decry the “betrayal”? After they’re elected next year, and have 6 years to go to their next election, they’ll be the ones submarining the votes so the current crop of traitors don’t have a take a fresh betrayal into an election year either. See how that works? That’s how complete complicity plays in the Democrat party.

    The must be some way to vote Schumer out of office, no? At least as “leader” of the opposition.

    So what’s the probability that the House scuttles it and/or Trump? Also when will the House actually vote on things?

      Masturbator Johnson already said, even before this “deal” went through, that he’ll refuse to allow any vote on the Obamacare subsidies.

        Oh yeah, I fully expect them not to honor that part. Were fucked there. But would that mean he won’t even bring this to a vote, or do the vote now and then later say “yeah, not taking up a vote on the subsidies”
