Schumer said Dems would not be voting for a CR of over 30 days and would shut down the government. What about all that word salad about how bad shutting the government is when Republicans mentioned it last time? Wee they just lying? They realize now that they cannot justify that because it is the same pure CR that they have already voted for! The only reason they have is that they hate President Trump. Too bad, so sad!IP: Logged |

No, they weren’t. Schumer had a change of heart, for the reasons he gave. IP: Logged |

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) issued the following statement on voting to avert a government shutdown.
"My job is to protect people in Hawai‘i. Today's vote on the continuing resolution was a difficult and close call, but ultimately, I made the determination that a flawed bill was better than no bill at all. A shutdown would enable Donald Trump and Elon Musk to unilaterally determine that the vast majority of federal workers are not essential. And given the number of federal workers in Hawai‘i, mass furloughs would be deeply painful for people across the state. "I understand people's frustration - I share it. But Trump and the Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress, presented us with a bad choice and a worse choice. Both would produce terrible outcomes, but a shutdown would be more devastating for everyone. "We're in a fight for democracy itself. We can't let disagreements about strategy and tactics divide us. We need to focus our energy on the real villain here: Donald Trump." IP: Logged |

He had a change of heart all right. Just not for the lies he is telling. A “flawed bill”? What a lying POS! It is a clean bill. It’s the same bill he already voted for before. He couldn’t justify not voting for it again. 😂 IP: Logged |
