Another Democrat Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Schumer Shutdown – Dispatch Confirms Leftist Plot Exposed! (Video)
In a stunning admission that peels back the curtain on the radical left’s heartless tactics, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) confessed on C-SPAN that Democrats are wielding the Schumer Shutdown as their “only moment of leverage,” even if it inflicts suffering on American families. “Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage, and although a very unpleasant tool to use,” Coons said, echoing Whip Katherine Clark’s gaffe last week about using hardship as a bargaining chip. This is the Dem playbook: create crises, then exploit the pain for political gain—like with Obamacare, where they promised savings but delivered skyrocketing premiums, now pushing single-payer as the “fix.”

Coons was roasted online: “That video is hard to watch, and the fact Coons did nothing to stop Biden from violating his daughter’s personal space.”

The Hill reports 40 million could lose SNAP benefits on November 1, mostly immigrant households—Dems prioritizing illegals over citizens, draining resources from veterans and families. This shutdown, effective October 1, stems from Dems blocking bills to cut waste and secure borders, holding governance hostage for amnesty and pork.
Trump’s stance is clear: no deals with radicals—his team cuts the BS, exposing Dems’ self-made messes. Families suffer? Blame the party weaponizing pain. Patriots, this is your call—midterms loom; vote red to end the lunacy.

Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.

Good. Let it all burn. The Schumer Shutdown it will be forever remembered.
Those on snap that are able bodied to work don’t need to be on gov. handouts. Those that can’t feed their kids by working, don’t need to have the kids and considered unfit parents.
DemocRATs are the most heartless, hate filled people on the planet. Willing to use leverage to force U.S. citizens to suffer so they can use the taxes that hard working citizens pay to give free heath care to millions of illegal alien invaders, while those same hard working tax payers have to pay for their own health care out of the money they work for. DemocRATs will stoop to any low level in an attempt to keep their power, nothing else, like what is best for this nation, matters. If you vote for a DemocRAT, you are a traitor to this nation just like they are.
