I'm still waiting to see who these 'radical left democrats' are... cuz I'm more left and radical than ANYONE that's elected currently. I don't understand how that doesn't just get old..

They believe anyone who isn't them is a radical leftist.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yep, and that’s why Trump declared (specifically) antifa as a terrorist organization. Anyone that he wants to say is antifa, is now antifa.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No matter how far to the right democrats shift, republicans will always call them radicals.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's called Propaganda.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's hilarious. They weren't even demanding anything substantial, like the abolition of ICE or the removal of National Guard troops for cities. They staked their claim on budgetary issues related to healthcare... and Trump couldn't even stomach that.

Because he's a brainless goblin that thinks that in any situation there has to be a winner and a loser, and he has to be the winner or he would be the loser. So if he doesn't think he can win a situation he will refuse to engage in it, because he has the emotional maturity of a 4-year-old

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

Dude, be real.

A 4 year old acts better then this.

Schumer is going to give him such a tweeting 😡

[–] StewNasty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I bet he'll even follow it up with a strongly worded letter with at least 3 very strong points addressed to whomever will pay attention to him.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago

Only if the Baileys think that’s the right thing to do.

[–] gonf@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Oh, the idiots who wouldn't even endorse Mamdani? Yeah, good job shitheads, go against the will of your own voters to try to stay on better terms with the worst people, who won't even work with you.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Anyone who doesn't kiss his ring is "radical left"

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Isn't he aiming for government shutdown since the beginning? After all he wants to be Orange Shitler.

[–] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Shutdown might help Trump to push his project 2025 agenda with no judges working and the justice halted.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I know that was Schumer's excuse last time, but I'm not sure that really adds up. The federal courts can still fund themselves for a few weeks after a shutdown. Also, the lower courts are slowing Trump down, but the Supreme Court is consistently ruling in his favor. If anything, he should want the courts to be running as quickly as possible so he can keep appealing and getting the Supreme Court to overturn all the restrictions the lower courts are placing on him.

Plus, while ICE is being designated an essential agency and ICE agents are expected to fulfill their full duties during a shutdown, they do it without pay (and get back-pay when the shutdown ends). That's not a big deal for a week, but if you stretch a shutdown out for a month, that starts to hurt. I'd like to see how loyal Trump's dogs are when they're not getting fed.

Because all those precious checks and balances work right?

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days ago

No pay for ICE et. Al.

...and what if the Democrats try to shut it down, but Trump and Scotus figure out a way to not have a shut down without democrat involvement.

...there, that would be Trump in power permanently.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Trump and Scotus figure out a way to not have a shut down without democrat involvement.

When all rules are optional, that part isn't really an "if"

[–] SimpleMachine@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago

They'll just roll over like they always do, what's new?

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Why would he? They’ll fold. Both of the are custard spined.

The art of the deal, Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!

Old pussy couldn't handle it
