'Shame on you!' Dems erupt on House floor as Mike Johnson orders recess despite shutdown - Lemmy.World

Democratic leadership in this moment is incredibly bad.
Oh yes, how dare they shutdown the house floors… Oh wait.

I think the goal of some of these lemmites (lemmings, lemmors?) is to push all the moderates out of the Democratic Party so we’re left with only the truest most liberal of politicians. And from there, we will win 20 senate seats and never see the presidency again.

If democrats aren’t alienating the majority of Americans, they aren’t the party for us!

Huh?

Yes, there are definitely accelerationists (both tankies and useful idiots) who just want to watch things burn.

But this? I can see the logic. But there is zero chance that resolution would have passed and this is just republicans shutting the government down a few hours early rather than bickering until the last minute.

For DNC leadership that insists on decorum and tradition? Yeah, that is atrocious and horrible and an even greater sin than not properly clapping for someone. But it doesn’t matter to anyone else. This is now a war of the news and social media and not one that is going to be solved while in session.

And all this comes across as is… weakness.

exactly

Hence the comment about the worthlessness of current leadership. Shutting the government. down shuts down project 2025. It forces the gestapo to work unpaid. That might last a week, but two, three weeks? That shit doesn’t fly when you are deployed to fucking Chicago and you are now paying for shit out of pocket.

Democratic leaders are cowards who are afraid to wield force, and they have the perfect opportunity here to show the incompetence and bankruptcy of this administration, along with extracting results.

Schumer and Jeffery’s are working to do the opposite. Worthless.

When they shut the government down, there is still a huge pile of money to be dispersed. It just closes down some offices. Trump has stolen many billions from congressionally allocated uses. That money will pay the gestapo while everyone else eats ramen until the government reopens
Trump isn’t the type to pay people. He deliberately tries to renege on debts owed, just to feel like a brilliant deal artisan. He especially doesn’t care about poors nor military service members, which ICE somehow Venn Diagrams on top of the racism.
This isn’t his plan. It’s the long orchestrated project 2025 shit. They want to shutdown the normal government but keep ICE running so they can do their kristalnacht without your normal non-fascist govt employees getting in the way with things like injunctions
Sure, the money exists, but the people that cut those paychecks have been furloughed.
