Schumer: Dems will insist on Trump undoing ‘bad things’ in spending deal

A government shutdown in March is all but guaranteed now:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reaffirmed that Democrats have a red line in the upcoming spending talks: No more federal funding freezes.
And he took it a step further, saying in a press conference Tuesday that “we will insist that there be certain changes that undo these bad things” — a reference to recent Trump administration moves like the now-paused funding freeze.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday that he wants Trump’s attempted funding freeze “choked off” as part of any bipartisan spending deal. Republicans are certain to need at least seven Senate Democrats to back a funding agreement to overcome a filibuster, and it’s possible Speaker Mike Johnson might need House Democrats as well.
Extracting concessions in government funding negotiations ahead of a looming March deadline is emerging as Democrats’ latest and potentially most effective strategy to combat Trump and his allies’ attempts to slash spending and overhaul the federal government’s operations.
“On appointments, they don’t need Democrats,” Schumer said. “But on legislation — particularly the funding resolution — they do need us.”

Dems don't get to insist. They are the minority in every branch of government and Trump has shown he doesn't care about repercussions for pushing his agenda through this go around.

And this is where having Elon in your corner comes in handy.
He has access to pretty much any and all info there is out there. Including all the dirt. These guys can play ball or take their chances with the consequences.

Chuck needs to go on Don Lemon’s dick sucking podcast to get his message out to the American people.

Shut it down...only his constituents squeal and no back pay this time.

Schumer has no idea what he is about to face. It will not be the same going forward. His power is no more.

Do not give them a fricking inch. We're trying to save money, shutting congress down would save billions, maybe trillions. Dems would come crawling back when their friends aren't getting to suck off of the government tit.

Chuck is just making it easier to get rid of the Government Bloat but he's too stupid with TDS to realize it.
Shut it down!!
Shut it down!!

Dear Chuck,
Shut the frick up and sit down. You and your ilk lost bigly.
Sincerely,
Americans with common sense
