You feel better that trump will now have more unchallengable power to mess with your SS???? Think. Again. Mar 14 #1

You don't think it's a good thing that Chuck has managed to secure Social Security for our time? Lancero Mar 14 #3

Schumer has not done that... Think. Again. Mar 14 #5

ONE Democratic vote for the CR makes the party "enablers and collaborators"? OilemFirchen Mar 14 #17

And 10 for cloture. Think. Again. Mar 14 #18

No one gives a shit about that. OilemFirchen Mar 14 #21

It will definitely be used against Dems. Think. Again. Mar 14 #22

Nope. OilemFirchen Mar 14 #30

Members of our Party have voted with the repubs. Think. Again. Mar 14 #34

2, counting Angus King, who caucuses with us. Shaheen was the other Yes on the actual bill, and she is retiring so Celerity Mar 14 #24

King is not a member of the Democratic Party. OilemFirchen Mar 14 #26

He caucuses with us (which I said). Without King/Sanders caucusing with us, we wouldn' have had control of the Senate Celerity Mar 14 #31

And what would have happened if the government shut down? mcar Mar 14 #20

It would not have stopped them, it would have stopped the Democratic Party... Think. Again. Mar 14 #33

I think the joke went over your head... regnaD kciN Mar 14 #27

It sounds like they feel better that dump will have less power than if a shutdown happened. Eko Mar 14 #4

He will not have less power, the CR grants him power that even the Constitution reserved for Congress. Think. Again. Mar 14 #6

And a shutdown will allow dump to decide what is essential and non-essential. Eko Mar 14 #8

Which he could do anytime he wants to with an emergency declaration. Think. Again. Mar 14 #10

An emergency declaration can let him shut down federal angencies? Eko Mar 14 #11

Doesn't matter, he now has the full authority to do that through the CR, backed by Democratic Party votes. Think. Again. Mar 14 #12

What you said is not true. Eko Mar 14 #13

Ha! Yeah, get back to me when the agencies start closing down. Think. Again. Mar 14 #15

Why dont you just show me where the CR allows dump to close down agencies? Eko Mar 14 #16

By transferring Congress's Constitutional control of spending to trump, he can defund any agency he wants to. Think. Again. Mar 14 #23

Here is where the CR says funds to SS continue. Eko Mar 14 #25

Starting on page 14, line 4 Think. Again. Mar 14 #32

Nice job! Eko Mar 14 #35

Yes, over-riding the Congressional authority over spending is why the CR is considered unconstitutional. Think. Again. Mar 14 #36

I 100% agree. Eko Mar 14 #37

Without it's "discretionary" spending, the agency will not last long.... Think. Again. Mar 14 #38

Once again I 100% agree. Eko Mar 14 #39

Unfortunately, the option of a 30 day CR developed by the House was ignored by schumer, and so here we are. Think. Again. Mar 14 #40

Yup. Eko Mar 14 #41

The courts would side with trump per the CR unless and until the CR is successfully challenged first. Think. Again. Mar 14 #42

I agree. Eko Mar 14 #43

If the government shuts down, much of it might not reopen. nt Comrade Citizen Mar 14 #14

Probably the same parts of it that trump will close with the power of the CR. Think. Again. Mar 14 #19
