Ten Democrats Cross the Line to Vote for Cloture on Continuing Resolution; Democrats Defeated

I kept looking for updates but missed it.

My absolute least-favorite subject to have to post about are these stupid CR battles.

So I'm glad this is out of the way.

Late Friday afternoon, the Senate voted yes on cloture 62-38, with 10 Democrats joining Republicans. That sets the bill up for passage on what will likely be a party-line vote after a few amendments are voted on.

Almost before Schumer's speech on the Senate floor ended Thursday, House Dems started hammering him, and that continued through the day Friday, with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and current House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly criticizing Schumer, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying that it would be "a big mistake" for Schumer to vote for cloture, which would allow the CR to pass with a simple majority, and mobilizing her base to call Senate Democrats.

Democrats were "melting down" about Schumer's cave before the vote. Kinda dog-bites-man on that one. When are they not melting down?

House Democrats erupted into apoplexy Thursday night after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he would support Republicans' stopgap government funding measure.

Why it matters: House Democrats feel like they "walked the plank," in the words of one member. They voted almost unanimously against the measure, only to watch Senate Democrats seemingly give it the green light.

"Complete meltdown. Complete and utter meltdown on all text chains," said the member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer sensitive details of members' internal conversations.

A senior House Democrat said "people are furious" and that some rank-and-file members have floated the idea of angrily marching onto the Senate floor in protest.

Others are talking openly about supporting primary challenges to senators who vote for the GOP spending bill.

LOL. Eat all the bags containing all the dicks.

Keep in mind that the leftwing cope is that all Republicans are regretting our votes.

The Republican CR to fund the government just passed the procedural hurdle in the Senate because of these Democrats:

Chuck Schumer
Catherine Cortez Masto
Dick Durbin
Brian Schatz
Angus King
Maggie Hassan
John Fetterman
Gary Peters
Kirsten Gillibrand
Jeanne Shaheen

Shame on you all.

Trump said he "appreciates" Schumer's decision and was "very impressed by that."

Is Trump on the level or is he trolling? Is he trying to doom Schumer by declaring him MAGA For a Day?

Either way, this is bad for Schumer.
