Uhhh... he can't?

Uhhh...
WHO is Chuck Schumer?

Your point, is that a sitting Senator, in the US SENATE, you ignoramus,
can't use something that only exists in the US SENATE, you ignoramus?
Well!
I'm glad we cleared THAT up!
> We were discussing how Schumer could CAUSE a shutdown
Jes.
> (he can't
Jes... he can.
> you've never proven how he could
*I* don't HAVE to.
You can put a few keywords into your favorite Commie search engine and
find out how.
But... if you want to continue playing your faggot semantics game, you
can do it alone.
I know EXACTLY what you're doing, and it's not going to work.
> so that's now accepted fact)
What goes on in that fucked-up little mind of yours, doesn't make for
"fact".
Your bullshit semantics games bear that out.
> and "NoBody" replied about a SENATE procedure.
Uhhh... "Cloture" is something that only exists in the US SENATE, you
ignoramus.
Like I said... we know exactly what you're doing. This is why no one
wants to give you a straight answer, because you'll just mung it up and
argue stupid shit that doesn't matter.
Here's a novel idea.
Instead of asking questions you already know the answers to... YOU tell
us why YOU think Chuck Schumer, who represents the DEMOCRATS in the
SENATE, being the RANKING Senator, isn't the "cause", "reason",
"source" or "catalyst" for the government shutdown.
Look up catalyst, stupid. SOMETHING had to have "triggered" the shut
down... right?
What WAS it?
Do not play your faggotty word games.
WHY did the government shut down, and WHO makes the final decision on
behalf of the Senate Democrats?
It's not like someone on the Republican side pushes a button and they
go into shutdown... WHAT was it that did it?
A chicken shit faggot will demur and answer by asking another stupid
question... of course.
Do we expect anything less?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a
person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of
Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and
reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece
in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three
distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of
proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as
if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish
fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the
knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump
does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made,
TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something nefarious, according
to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump
could do or say that would be received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the
early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch
line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term
first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer
back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute
onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the
policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
