This is FL, trumpland. Rick Scott is blind, deaf, dumb and a thief himself. I messaged him about something and he replied with a diatribe about animal rights.

I think it is great except for the weak Jared Golden of Maine who just let his constituents down and voted with Republicans to pass the CR. We need to get rid of people like him to include the Senators who do not vote no. It is a mandate to these Senators to vote NO. Grow a spine damn it!

I promise you I will work my ass off to send Jared fucking Golden back to the back woods of Maine. 🤬

Please send him someplace else. I really don’t want him in Maine him or Susan Collins. I don’t really give a shit where they go as long as they get the hell out of the bad job they’re doing and not living up to their oath of office. No wonder they run don’t dare to face people

Agreed. I live here too and I don’t want him here either. But if he crawls back to some backwoods cabin and no one has to see him again that’s fine. As for Susan…same. She can take her Russian asset lobbyist husband and slither off into the woods.

He’s not just weak, he’s a full blown traitor. He runs as a democrat so he can prevent a real democrat from filling the seat. He is pure MAGA riffraff

Why did he do that???

LJ's avatar

He will claim it’s because he represents a district which voted for the felon and I favor of this shit show we’re currently in. He’s trying to straddle the fence bc the $$ he gets is mostly from Dems, so he runs as a Dem but he’s really a wolf in sheep’s clothing. My last conversation with him began with him saying “I appreciate your opinion of the facts (note the use of his words here) and I don’t always agree with trump, but some of the time he’s right.” I swear, those were his exact words. Last straw. 🤬

The Senate needs to fight as hard as house reps. Dem voters will show up next election if their leaders show some spine.

Time to vote for some firery new Dems for Senate! Don't let reports of suppression and righing discourage you! Our votes can still count!

In the meantime, call your Senators and demand they go ape against the MAGAmaniacs and that it's okay to do so, especially if MAGA wants to 86 our social programs that so many put their own money into and if they don't, you'll vote their tails out!

I just wish they ALL had voted no. I have lived through many a CR. This is not a CR, it is a fiasco.

Sarah Jones & Jason Easley's avatar

Schumer is not the biggest problem. There is a risk adverse mentality in about 1/3 of the Democratic Senate caucus. Schumer would do whatever his caucus wanted if they made their direction clear---Jason

We can't tell Schumer this as his office phones go unanswered!! As a NY resident I find this deplorable. We are being taxed but DEFINITELY NOT BEING REPRESENTED. And our so-called *rep* #SeditiousStefaniQ is of course down on her kneepads.

Jared should be punished by democrats for voting for a CR that leaves out shuttered departments and vet burn pit and agent orange support.

I think that the democrats had better not cave and vote for saving the republicans. The republicans own this mess and the democrats need to stop bailing them out.

Think we need to spell it out in BIG BOLD NEON letters - pass this CR, pass this INSANE budget that murders the sick, the very old and the very young and we WILL be out for blood. That's NOT a threat, that's a promise a promise of self-defense - they're KILLING US and STEALING OUR MONEY

I’m hoping there is a compromise that we do a CR with adjustments that goes month to month, somewhat like millions who live paycheck to paycheck. Praying those tax breaks for the wealthy are trashed.
