Schumer et al

[choie]

knew that they were going to cave, and only waited until after Tuesday's election to do it, because they knew it would not go over well with the electorate.

Congratulations Democratic senators - not just the 8 who voted for it, but those others who were behind the scenes fomenting the cave - and yes, that is Schumer and others who were even too cowardly to vote for what they wanted to happen.

1. Nothing like punching your voters square in the face to say thanks.

2. Watch Lawrence O'Donnell's defense of Schumer.

It contains zero condemnation and is solidly grounded in the reality of the minority leader's job.

5. And it contains 100% excuses.

7. I'm sure Lawrence has no problem paying for his healthcare while millions lose theirs but hey, shit happens

when a leader is just a figurehead with no power.

4. It's hard to argue that, why now if it's the same deal.

[yaesu]

6. waited until after Tuesday but before the Midterms when we really need the votes, really smart

NOT!!!.

8. If only they could be as brave as the warriors willing to fight to the last federal worker's home is foreclosed

And to the last starving child! Such boldness!
