Project 2025/Agenda 47 Republicans have plainly stated an intention to gut the Federal government across the board. This is just the movie trailer.Schumer: ‘Cannot think of worse welcome’ for Zelensky than House stopgap proposal
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted the House GOP stopgap funding proposal on the Senate floor Monday, criticizing it for not including funding for Ukraine and other Democratic requests.
“And with no Ukraine funding, the proposal is an insult to Ukraine and a gift to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. I cannot think of a worse welcome for [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky who visits us this week than this House proposal, which ignores Ukraine entirely,” Schumer said.
Zelensky is slated to meet with President Biden this week and hold discussions with lawmakers, as well as visit the United Nations General Assembly in New York. While support for Ukraine is widespread, a handful of House Republicans have been outspoken in their opposition to more U.S. funding for the war-torn nation.
Schumer described the House GOP proposal as a “hard-right screed,” accusing Republicans of not working on a bipartisan solution to keep the government open. The White House asked Congress to attach supplemental funding for Ukraine, disaster relief and border security to a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government.
Without those requests, the CR is unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate. A group of Republicans announced an internal deal for the stopgap bill Sunday night. If approved, it would extend the funding deadline by a month, cut all spending except for the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and enact a large part of the House GOP’s marquee border bill, H.R. 2.
It has already been met with opposition from enough Republicans to put it in jeopardy even in the lower chamber.
A CR or other funding bill must be passed by Sept. 30 to keep the government from shutting down.
Schumer also targeted Republicans for proposing cuts to nondefense spending in his remarks Monday.
“Instead of working with Democrats to keep government open, House Republicans want to cut virtually all nondefense spending by a devastating 8 percent, 8 percent,” he said Monday. “Eight percent cuts to law enforcement, cancer research and other critical priorities. Not one penny is dedicated to the president’s disaster relief request despite the anguish in so many states. No health extenders are included, no attempt to reauthorize the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration].”

They have to make it through 2024 and at the rate they are fucking up and with Donald's help they might not do so well considering the headwind they are facing on abortion and social issues in general. Then there might be Trump disqualified and landing like a turd in their punchbowl mid election with a conviction. If he is disqualified over J6, it will put all those maga politicians who followed him in a tough spot, just because trump is disqualified doesn't mean he won't demand their loyalty for his write in candidacy!Project 2025/Agenda 47 Republicans have plainly stated an intention to gut the Federal government across the board.

Most media are making the same mistake as you and laughing it off. This is not new; they did it in 2016.They have to make it through 2024 and at the rate they are fucking up and with Donald's help they might not do so well considering the headwind they are facing on abortion and social issues in general.

I'm not laughing it off, just stating what they are up against, including a possible write in candidacy by a disqualified Trump, which would be funny and sink the GOP. I think they lost the middle of the country, the one that decides elections and are spiraling downward IMO, with shitty candidates and poor management. Largely incompetent magats have taken over other party offices and where that happened, they are broke.Most media are making the same mistake as you and laughing it off.

The thing to keep in sharp focus is that such a plan is the product of hundreds or thousands of powerful people who have been awaiting a way to enact Reichstag fire 2.1. (2.0 was Jan 6.)
They are emphatically dangerous, and more patient and intelligent than their trained ape.
Trump's "Agenda 47" is no joke
This is not a joke or funny: You should be very afraid of Trump's fascist Agenda 47 planwww.salon.com
I do not believe that removing or disqualifying P01135809 will seriously spike the Repugs’ guns.I'm not laughing it off, just stating what they are up against, including a possible write in candidacy by a disqualified Trump, which would be funny and sink the GOP.

I'm certainly not advocating complacency, but a maximum effort by patriots instead, only a landslide can really move the needle a lot and provide a mandate for change. However, a useful majority will allow much to be done and remove many of the republican's electoral advantages and address many of the country's problems..
for a second there I was “what RIU losses?”I won't be linking to 20 posts on X. Hope the rest of the Russian army is feeling the same.
Any clear victory for the democrats will do, but the bigger the victory the bigger the mandate for change and the more rapid and even radical it can be. Trump holds tremendous sway inside the GOP and has the majority of the base even with all his trouble, treason and obvious lies. Don't underestimate the stupidity of republicans and generally speaking things are so tight electorally that just 10 or 20% of their base either staying home in disgust or spoiling their ballots with a Trump write in, would be a disaster at the polls for them.I do not believe that removing or disqualifying P01135809 will seriously spike the Repugs’ guns.
I also think that landslide that you so tirelessly promote is also unlikely. Judging by the current House of Representatives, the forces behind the magazi movement are consolidating power rather than losing it.
We need to explore realistic stratagems for blunting the extremist effort.
