Key Senate Democrats said they would oppose legislation needed to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the week after federal agents shot and killed a Minneapolis resident.
Democrats are so weak.
Okay guys, seriously, if you shoot 10 or 20 more innocent people, we’ll stop funding you. This time for real
Is this going to be another nonnegotiable they’ll cave on after a few weeks?
if a shutdown is looming they will cave. schumer will use his usual sacrificial 8 DEMS AGAIN.
Yes. Calling it now.
:(
You’re probably right
The Party With No Backbone Insists That, No, Really, This Time They Will Actually Grow A Spine
The realization that ICE and the Border Patrol exist for the purpose of murdering Democrats might just change their views.
doubtful, many old guard dnc are in fact GOP-lite. alot of things pushed by republicans in the past they did not repeal it.
Don’t forget Palantir, who openly admits to it.
Oh my fucking God shut the fuck up until you actually fucking oppose it (not OP, the Dems).
they are saving face, like schumer did to end the shutdown. they will fund once the attention blows over.
All but a handful of House members voted against it already. The few that did are either in districts which voted for Trump or are openly corrupt.
The Democratic Senate leadership appears committed to blocking it now, which they were not until this killing.
Cowards were ok with it until now?
Glad they are capitulating to voters but their hesitancy to challenge fascism even as we are drowning in it speaks volumes.
“But you don’t understand, they’re killing people just like me now, so it affects me personally.” Some democrat probably
The Democratic Senate leadership appears committed to blocking it now
Well let’s hope they stay that way 🤞
And if ICE Murders ANOTHER American Citizen they’ll Vow even HARDER not to Fund it (but ONLY if it’s BEFORE they Vote to Fund it!)!
and only if it doesnt trigger another SHUTDOWN.
His death is already on your hands Democrats.
Agreed, this kind of catastrophic inability to resist at any level by Democratic politicians and especially Democratic leadership DIRECTLY led to these murders being inevitable. I am not kidding, the inaction of politicians like Chuck Shumer and Hakeem Jeffries directly led to the murder of Renee Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
Blood is on Tim Walz’s hands for not calling in the National Guard sooner as well.
The fascists were always going to choose violence and thus the blood is on the hands of the Democratic establishment for not believing what the rest of us knew, capitulation to Republicans and fascists was always going to end in violent jackbooted thugs executing US citizens in broad daylight for no reason other than to instill fear and terror and hopefully justify more violence.
All the Democratic Party can say for this most awful evolution of US politics it is that they waited until the evidence was undeniable to believe the people who were saying the threat was existential to our democracy.
