Traitors. Get rid of all of them.
Primary everyone on this list.
This is exactly what the right wing has done over a couple decades and it's worked fine for them. People either lost their seats or got so scared of the constant opposition they fell in line.
Let's not water down the term "traitor" during, well... you know.
As a very dumb person, is what the Dems that voted for this said wrong? Is there a chance that Asshat Trump and his Billionaire Butt Buddy would go on an unchecked rampage without Congress in session? Or is that just bull crap? I don't know enough about how everything works when congress shuts down.
No, that is the flimsiest of excuses. First of all, how could the presidents rampage more beyond what has already transpired? Secondly, republicans love to throw tantrums and shut down the govt all the time. This wouldn’t be much different except it would show the dems are actually willing to fight with the tools they have. Unfortunately, Schumer’s maneuver shows they are not. It’s beyond pathetic.
Dems need to stop obeying in advance. Make Trump actually DO the bad things so that his base continues to feel the effects.
