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

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

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

Schumer has not done that... Think. Again. Friday #5

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

And 10 for cloture. Think. Again. Friday #18

No one gives a shit about that. OilemFirchen Friday #21

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

Nope. OilemFirchen Friday #30

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What you said is not true. Eko Friday #13

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

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

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

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

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

Nice job! Eko Friday #35

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

I 100% agree. Eko Friday #37

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

Once again I 100% agree. Eko Friday #39

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

Yup. Eko Friday #41

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

I agree. Eko Friday #43

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