Would have been a good senator.

Really? Oh, and here's the part of the story Schumer won't bother to mention, and it's right there in the subhead to the "People" story: The $200 million construction project is privately funded, so it's unaffected by the shutdown that began on Oct. 1 Oh, well we're sure that was just an honest mistake on Chuck's part and it was a total oversight to not include that. And we're not even 24 hours into the shutdown. Schumer still has a lot more

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Shocked Trump Is Doubling Down on Sombrero Memes as Democrats’ Power to Shame Evaporates https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2025/10/01/cnns-kaitlan-collins-trump-admin-is-doubling-down-with-memes-mariachi-music-in-wh-briefing-room-n2419799

LOL. The Voice of Reason. I don't answer other posters "what about this" nonsense because I choose not to. I am too old to try and change the closed minds of those who openly admit that they don't even read the conservative articles that I post. (I'm not making this up, Frank has admitted this)

Well, Do you think that there is any confusion amongst those called in as to what is expected out of them in the future now ?? Seems like a good way to get the military on the same page. Sometimes zoom meetings and policy releases aren't enough. .

BACK TO CHUCK. DAVID HARSANYI: Chuck Schumer’s bad shutdown bet. One can certainly appreciate Schumer being tempted by a shutdown. It allows him to show a little “fight.” Polls continue to find Republicans leading on every issue that matters to voters, including the economy, immigration, and crime. Democrats still want to make the fight about President Donald Trump, who, at a 46% job approval rating on the RealClearPolitics average, is faring slightly better than the recent historical average for second-term presidencies. At this point, if Democrats agree to a deal without any concessions from Republicans — or at least, the government partially closing for a few days — they risk looking weak and feckless to the activists. But empty gestures aren’t always harmless. One of the self-destructive habits of the pre-Trump GOP was overpromising the base, creating the impression it could achieve things that were never going to happen, among them overturning Obamacare. Democratic leadership is now engaged in the same cycle. In every one of the 21 government shutdowns since the passage of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the opposition party has controlled at least one house of Congress or the White House. The Democrats do not. The opposition party in Congress can’t really do much but attempt to obstruct. Though the Left endlessly grumbled about “obstructionism” during the Obama years, it’s a perfectly legitimate tool. But the leverage Democrats hold today is minimal. The upside of the shutdown, negligible. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3830403/chuck-schumer-bad-government-shutdown-bet/ I suppose “negligible” was also Schumer’s only possible upside, so he went for it. The best part, however, is watching Schumer walk eyes-open right into the trap Dems used to set for Republicans. .
