'We had an awful choice': Senator Schumer defends voting with GOP saying shutdown would be worse - PBS NewsHour

2. It was an awful choice. Tsf and muskrat wouldn't have cared in the government shut down

We would’ve been further culling the herd for them…thousands of workers would’ve had to move on because of no pay.

And all the civil cases running right now against muskrat and vp trump would’ve been lost…gone…then what. And, no new cases could be filed. What if the government had been shutdown when tsf declared he was enacting the aliens and enemies act…how many more would’ve been illegally deported.

You can apply these two of now dozens and dozens of situations and it could be so so much worse

I’m not arguing…so don’t come at me! I am no different than anyone else here. Sick to death, worried all the time about what’s going to happen. The optics in the short term might have looked better if things had shut down, but in the long run probably not.
