@southerntails1 I think a shut down would have been disastorous and would have given Trump a foil for his blame while he did nothing to re-open the Government The bureaucracy is the current last line of Defense, especially if courts challenged
@j3ym3gnum @DeTocqueville14 Aristotle relied on texts from India and Egypt morose than Judah It wouldn't be Abraham ibn Daud a 1,000 years later that would bring Aristotle thought to Judiasm you are really bad at history, and might not be a very nice person
@j3ym3gnum @DeTocqueville14 That's not true I would say Maimonides was drawing heavily on Aristotle And Muslims made many fantastic contributions to the Canon of Abrahamic Religions. So your word entire is wrong, substantial yes (I dig Spinoza) but not entire
Maybe it's just me, but if your goal is to stop Trump, your efforts at accountability should be directed at Trump? Voting a CR is not unforgivable in the face of Trump's unforgivable actions https://x.com/donwinslow/status/1901355892421087507
@Angeladoneit Enron is an abusive partner who is doing this to the child without the Mother's consent and to deliberately intimidate It is classic Domestic Abuser behavior
@WUTangKids Enron is an abusive partner who is doing this to the child without the Mother's consent and to deliberately intimidate It is classic Domestic Abuser behavior
@Basil_Isobar @donwinslow If you take your argument to the logical conclusion that Schumer is not tough enough to stand up to Trump then eliminating the bureaucracy through a shut down, would remove one of the last tools to slow death of America
@Basil_Isobar @donwinslow Of courseTrump congratulated him, if you wanna talke about weeks of not demanding a seat at the CR debate, and creating the environment where had you to agree. Fine But anyone who wants a shut down didn't watch the DOJ speech. Bureaucracy is the only check and balance left
Through his silence we know @SenThomTillis endorses these actions. Not speaking up, not trying to stop the Qanon Cabinet, that is a moral failure between Tom and his maker But right now, he needs to do right by America https://x.com/waysandmeans71/status/1901391355576013083
@donwinslow How would a shut down be better? In a shutdown only the Executive is left. What if Trump never wanted the shut down to end while he and Elon burned everything to the ground?
