    Schumer is taking a massive victory lap right now and bashing republicans.
    Not sure this is what people wanna see, but it’s Washington.

    GOP put itself in a no win situation by overselling how bad the budget is and what they can do about it. When you say its a disaster for America and then pass it with minor changes you look like.. well you look like the GOP. Even Fox can’t connect those dots.

    Fact is, it’s business as usual.

    As well he should. President Biden delivered on his promise to bring the two parties together for the good of the country crushing GOP extremists in the process.

    So you are both praising the bipartisanship and praising the Dems bashing the pubs over this, while throwing in your own shots at them?
    Interesting approach lol.

    Nope, just pointing out the seeming hypocrisy in the post. If I was offended by extreme partisanship I would have left this forum years ago.

    Yeah seems like maybe we’d want to focus on a rare point of bipartisanship and actual functioning government but douchey politicians gonna douche.

    Bernie Sanders voted no. Screw him and the 31 Republican senators and 5 democrats who voted against it.

    So Biden did a good job being parties together and as a result the logical next step is to start bashing the other side?

    Should Schumer bash Bernie Sanders also?

    Sorry, this is some cope right here, I mean, some might call simply negotiating in the first place a big cave to GOP extremists.

    The cowardly part of it is that had the votes truly been needed they probably both would have voted yes. They hid behind the whole host of others who did the right thing.

    Their lord Trump, who never saw a loan he wanted to make good on, is pro-default. So they were likely just following orders.

    Who I. opted for is not relevant as I’m not on here daily being a cheerleader for Biden. It almost like you’re on the payroll.

    I mean next thing is you’ll crow about is what a great job he did by wiping has butt.

    Pointing out your weak positions isn’t shilling for Biden. Come with better arguments and you won’t get so mad.

    I’m. of mad at all.

    I’m pointing out how you often post about what a great job Biden is doing, just eating with a fork isn’t an accomplishment.
