If the Kamala catastrophe wasn’t bad enough for the Democratic Party, the unfolding civil war over shutting down the federal government has sent them plunging headlong into a debilitating doom loop.
Having been stripped of all political power at the national level by voters, the party has gone full suicide bomber and was prepared to sabotage the continuing resolution passed by House Republicans with the American people being collateral damage. But before they could yank the ripcord, a renegade pack of Senate Democrats balked at the radicals, mostly out of fear of being blamed for a shutdown.
Leading the rogue faction was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who enraged some of the party’s most high profile lawmakers including the alcohol sodden hag Nancy Pelosi by announcing that he would vote with Republicans to end a filibuster, the same procedure that Democrats came very close to nuking when they were drunk with power during the Biden years.

Cries of “sellout!” and “traitor!” erupted on social media with Pelosi issuing a statement that, while not specifically naming Schumer, demanded that senators should listen to “the women” and reject the continuing resolution.
The ex-Speaker’s influence isn’t what it once was because on Friday afternoon, Schumer and nine other Democrats voted for cloture, sending the CR to a full Senate vote which it later passed, a major victory for President Trump.

The coming sh*tstorm will rip the party apart. Already leaderless since Joe Biden got the hook last summer and Kamala Harris went on to get her ass kicked in all seven battleground states, Democrats have not only not engaged in necessary self-analysis and reflection over why they are deeply despised but have allowed the worst elements like ghetto trash Jasmine Crockett, a newbie transvestite in Congressman Tim aka Sarah McBride and “pimp cane” shaking racist goon Al Green become their public face.
Schumer’s betrayal could also soon open the door for Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

And as he has masterfully done since entering politics, Trump stirred the pot by giving props to Schumer, which is like pouring gasoline on a fire.

“There is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal,” AOC told reporters of Schumer’s choice. “And this is not just about progressive Democrats. This is across the board — the entire party.”
Trump’s praise of Chuck the great betrayer will further goad Democrats into running AOC and other toxic extremists for Senate seats in blue states, and they’ll win too, and then go on to be cinder blocks chained around the neck of the party that is careening toward political extinction.
