He may vote no but Schumer will round up enough votes for it to pass. And the rest will stand back claiming they did their best. The entire party is complicit

Says the fucker that gave them almost $30 billion less than a year ago. We're here because you all tripled their annual budget. What the fuck did you think was going to happen?

[-] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I'll believe it when I see it. The current Democrat leadership is nothing but a bunch of flip-flopping pussies.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It goes beyond flip-flopping. It looks like a party of calculated self-sabotage. It appears Schumer organizes votes to ensure there are just enough dissenters that he and others can pretend to want the right thing but hey, what can they do, unfortunately they just didn't get enough votes. Every time. All that changes is who they pick to be on dissent duty.

You'll see it for about a week before some Democrats "care about the American people's* suffering" and vote with their Republican party to fund more ICE murders and the leadership go "well at least we tried".

DNC will need to do a lot of work before i believe they're anything but controlled opposition.

Schiff: it’s not just GOP members who will see more Americans die. Is this comeback really the extent of what you’re willing to do? The people you’re berating this way see this as a feature, not a flaw. They have no issues with the “wrong type” of American dying like this.

Maybe refuse to caucus with anyone who doesn’t support your NEW bill removing the funding granted by the one YOU JUST SUPPORTED?

He didn't support the ice bill that I can tell. There were 7 democrats and he wasn't on the list.

[-] zd9@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Democratic Congressmen are all pussies. Have a spine. I know they won't because they're complicit.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

He's a senator now. Still he doesn't inspire me. He needs to stop accepting AIPAC, stop working for the donor class, start representing California values.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

"Congressman" is a generic term that covers people in both houses of Congress.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Huh, I usually call house of reps Congress members and refer to senators as senator.

Also since Schiff only recently ascended from the house of reps to the Senate, wanted to clarify his current role.

[-] zd9@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The Senate is also Congress...

[-] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

It is infuriating to see how many people think the legislative branch is divided into Senate and Congress. Or worse, how many people think the 3 branches of government are "the President, Congress, and Senate."

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He needs to retire.

[-] wagesj45@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

I suspect there will be a new rotating villain to vote for it.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I'd love to see a Democratic DOGE that focused on shit like ICE.

I'd love for them to sit there with smarmy fuck-you smiles and keep repeating that they are just going after "real waste, fraud and abuse" with a scripted set of talking points as they dismantle things like ICE.

Part of the script would be to point out that the cuts the conservatives made under their fake "doge" were only harming and killing people, and didn't really save any money at all. The liberal DOGE aims to get rid of "waste, fraud and abuse" that is actively harmful.

Those assholes that sat there and smiled the biggest of shit-eating grins knew full well that they were actively trolling everyone that was not a stupid redcap when they kept repeating "waste, fraud and abuse" "waste, fraud and abuse" like good little parrots. I'd love to see that thrown right back in their face as the things that get them so hard like the terrorists that are known as ICE are just disbanded.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ive been very aggressive in my outrage to him, my senator, so this is at least a lil good news

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

The moment the current regime ends, ICE needs to be disbanded, and people has to be held accountable.

There needs to be a completely new organization for dealing with immigration, this one has been and continues to be rolling in shit so deep you can't get the stink out.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Dude is owned by Israel. I hope he does the right thing for once but I won’t hold my breath

Tomorrow: let’s give ICE money
