The Trump Presidency 2.0

"We are serious people, that focus on serious problems. Also, I used an obscure rule to rename a bill out of spite."

Schumer forces name change for 'big, beautiful bill' moments before it passes

Bravo Chuck, this exactly the type of pushback people want from Democratic party leadership. You really stuck it to Trump!

On unserious people, Republican Senator Tells House Not To Vote on Bill She Just Voted For.

Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the "One Big Beautiful Bill" to the Senate for further work.
"My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we're not there yet," Murkowski told reporters today.

Lisa, if you felt it was that bad of a bill you could actually have some convictions and not vote for it, explaining why. People might give Paul/Tillis/Collins shit, but at least they weren't chickenshit.

This opinion is applicable to all politicians; if you toe the line on party issues but you think something is trash/needs more work and then try to put the hard part (voting no) on others, you're a punk.
 
Well - I didn't want to levy vulgarities "directly" at duly elected, sitting US Senator.
...his position does carry a degree of respect

No, no, no...if you don't fall in line with your party then you are a RINO/ DINO (unless your name is "Pelosi" and then you're a wino).

Perfect presidents, perfect bills, perfect "anything", they do not exist. A win in politics is just an acceptable collection of L's on the way to your goal. You always ask for more than you want, either out of caution or as a bargaining chip, something you can trade away.

If only the sitting president were someone who understands making deals is an art.

Senator, get a spine or go away. I can at least respect someone who will fight for a belief I strongly disagree with, not a bootlicking party sycophant more concerned about re-election than the will of their people.
