On Friday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[September 19, 2025]

Shutdown Schumer is willing to shutdown the government just to refund NPR, gut the $50B rural health fund that was included in the One Big Beautiful Bill, & reinstate wasteful spending.
[….]

Some people aren’t buying it:

GOP controls the House and Senate. GOP white house.
GOP can force through anything they want.
DO YOUR JOB AND STOP WHINING.

Good for Schumer! Stop the radical agenda that is taking the US down

Liar. They’re trying to talk y’all into RE-funding MEDICAID and a few other such “wastes”.

Why did the senate fail to pass the government funding bill?

Where have you been? The government has been shutdown since last January.

They have a point.

Republicans have the majority in the House, the Senate, the judiciary, and the executive.
How would a shutdown be the fault of the Democrats?

Go nuclear on the Satan party.

Point of view.

How can this continue to happen. And some people believe it’s okay. Someone please explain why.

See above.

Hey Senator Eric Schmitt, fuck you traitor, fuck your traitor party, and fuck Trump you pathetic fawning fanboy.

Stop with the gaslighting and take the opportunity you’re being offered to save face on that ugly bill that the overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of.

It’s actually also to keep funding health care, but don’t let the truth get in your way.

No you dumb fuck you are lying again as all MAGA POS elected officials do. Here is why they don’t want to fund the government thru the MAGA CR.
Key Disagreements
1. Expiring ACA Subsidies and Healthcare Premiums
• Democrats are pushing to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire. If they expire, insurance premiums for many people would rise significantly.
• Without those extensions, millions could lose coverage or face double-digit premium hikes. Democrats argue a CR that doesn’t address this is not acceptable.
2. Cuts to Medicaid and Other Health Programs
• The proposed Republican CR (or elements of recent budget agreements) include cuts to Medicaid and possibly other health programs. Democrats want to reverse or prevent those.
3. No Input / Unilateral Drafting
• Democrats complain that the CR was drafted without their meaningful participation—i.e., Republicans putting together the proposal without negotiations or incorporating Democratic priorities. They want bipartisan bargaining.
4. “Clean” CR vs Policy Riders
• Republicans are pushing for a “clean” continuing resolution (i.e. one without extra policy changes or controversial additions), arguing it buys more time. Democrats argue that the clean approach simply ignores urgent policy needs, especially healthcare.
5. Political Pressure / Base Expectations
• There’s pressure from Democratic constituents and activist groups to defend healthcare, protect Medicaid, and oppose cuts rather than simply let the funding pass with what they view as damaging omissions. Failing to fight over these issues could hurt their standing.

There’s that.

When can we vote Schumer out

Sir, this is a Burger King.

Didn’t y’all shutdown the government to avoid a vote on the Epstein files?

NOT IMPRESSED w/the crooked REPUBLICAN liars trying to blame OTHERS for their SHITTY BBB!!!

WTF are they thinking?

Virtually every thing you say on this video is a lie. Do you ever tell the truth?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

You’re crazy.

Lies. The Democrats wanted y’all to agree to postpone the massive health insurance increases you are forcing on the country. You refused.

Why are you even talking? You will vote yes on any Bootlicker Bill that comes your way.

No more trillions for illegals and NGOs

Math is hard.

How is it Schumer’s fault? Republicans have the majority in the house and senate. Get your own party in Line.

You wouldn’t need that $50 billion rural health fund if you all didn’t make huge cuts that are going to affect Medicaid & Medicare. That $50 billion isn’t going to even come close to filling that gap.
About 1% of funding for NPR comes directly from the federal govt.
That one Big Bullshit bill is costing us more & you know it’s going to hurt ppl that’s why you are all trying to rebrand it.
You are lying to ppl & trying to gaslight them.

You’re willing to watch people die so your billionaire friends can get tax cuts.

Considering Republicans are in control, I doubt that. Nice try, Epstein.

So – there was a moment when you decided to debase yourself and embrace American fascism. Do you remember when that was?

How do you believe this is Democrats’ fault when Republicans control the House, Senate & presidency??🤦🏻

The GOP was told by Trump to not negotiate with the Dems. If a shutdown occurs, it is a TRUMP shutdown and the GOP in Congress is complicit.

Stand strong and please do not cave in to the communists on either side of the aisle.

That’s a lot to unpack there.

I’ll never vote Democrat again! SMH! 🔥

Never has.

Stay strong. They want that money to put into their DNC for their campaigns. They have used tax payers money for years to pay for their campaigns.

Bicycle helmets are a good thing.

I’m sure you’re lying.

We would like you to fund NPR, yes. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

You mean the bill that will trigger $500 billion in medicare cuts due to the pay as you go bill of 2010? Thank goodness Schumer cares about the elderly more than making billionaires richer.

Selling your soul?

Too late.

Throw your law degree in the trash. You’ve violated your oath of office in every possible way.

Shut up with your storytelling lies it’s you and the republican party period.

Bullshit Eric Schmitt.

Democrats are the only group on the planet that can gun down an innocent man, celebrate his death, mock his wife, destroy memorials for him, lie about who killed him and somehow STILL make themselves the victims.

“The warning that was received, you may take with however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us, is specifically not too good. It’s suggested that you do stay away from that.”

Your “health fund” is a scam, and it will harm a lot of people. Funding NPR also gets news and other programming to a lot of Americans in rural areas that have limited choices, including educational programming. I think you’re just mad that you haven’t been able to make NPR a propaganda organ – so much so that you are willing to harm your own constituents in order to damage it.
In the final analysis, the GOP is in charge, and our system is set up so that you have to seek consensus. Instead, you have branded Democrats “the enemy” (and let’s not even talk about inciting violence with your rhetoric). Democrats are fellow Americans and your colleagues. If you refuse to work with them, you will fail, and you deserve to do so. The American people will understand that it is entirely your fault.

How much money is added to the national debt from your one big shitty bill? You left that part out…

You control the house, senate and the presidency. If you can’t pass your own lies, that’s on you

The GOP controls both houses. Stop blaming everyone else for your incompetence.

Yeah if you think we’re taking your word for it, think again. All you’ve done is lie about budgets.

That statement is full of misleading information. My understanding was you are trying to end the affordable care act?

Try to keep up.

You have all the power, you dont get [to] play victim and blame others…

I unregistered to vote in 2020 after the worthless Congress Republicians especially refused to stand with America. Now 4 of you crooked Republicans blocked blocking the Muslim terrorist in Congress. Republicans are so cowardly no spines and no ethics. Democrats are domestic terrorist.

Sir, this is a Burger King.

You’re willing to tromp on our Constitution and allow the orange turd to behave like a delusional king.

That $50 billion for rural hospitals is still $100 billion less because of your Medicaid cuts. Some of us can still read….

You assholes are u fuckingbelievable! You control all three branches of government and the only thing you have to offer Americans is incompetence and stupidity. For the sake of the nation, go fuck yourself, you fascist shitstain.

Disingenuous little performance art there, buddy

Why are you even allowing Chuck Schumer a voice in Congress? The man is an idiot.

Think about that for just a second.

Republicans have the majority you fucking idiot. If it shuts down it’s because you clowns can’t govern. Stop worrying about who loves who and do your job.

Taxpayers should not pay for sex chain. That’s just like cosmetic surgery my gosh, we have people out here that have serious health issues and need surgery. Oh my gosh. what is this world coming to?

Our founders weep.
