Schumer on DHS reforms: "I believe Republicans will have no choice but to go along with us because it's so common sense"

In my 20+ years studying American history and politics, I don’t know if we’ve ever had a politician who is so utterly incapable, not of just meeting the moment, but of literally just acknowledging reality Chuck lives in the alternate reality where he asks his imaginary friends what to do

How about, "the GOP hasn't proven repeatedly that they cannot be trusted and will not do anything in good faith, therefore we will remain unmovable in denying funding to an outlaw federal agency." Or something like that.

Schumer is the op. He’s pretends to be a democrat, but overall supports white supremacists and corporate interests, because it ultimately serves him. He pretends to support the average American, but chooses to pocket any safe guards for himself. Schumer won’t get us anywhere… He’ll fold

He doesn’t have a fucking clue. Read the room! Republicans are not dealing with common sense. They are fucked with Trump and have to double down on his cabal’s agenda. We need to bring 🔥!

Chuck voted for the Patriot Act knowing it gave the White House a private army and voted to increase funding every time it came up. As someone below said: He's complicit. Expect nothing of substance to be changed as long as he's in power.

I honestly have almost as much contempt for dem leaders as I do for MAGA and Republicans. This fucker needs to STEP DOWN. They act like they’re powerless, yet somehow R’s always get enough votes to pass whatever they want. Look at how much McConnell was able to stifle Obama. Dems are just complicit.

This is exactly why @schumer.senate.gov has to go. He keeps waiting for the republikkkans to somehow go back to the way they were under Reagan…NEWS FLASH CUCK: IT’S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS THE MAGA PEDO PARTY & YOU ARE DELUSIONAL.

We NEED new ANGRY leadership, not this Dino that thinks Repubs are anything other than TRAITORS that should hang for TREASON FFS.

Chuck Schumer is a relic of an era when Republicans spewed bullshit that they knew was bullshit to whip up the rubes. They didn't believe in anything. And you can "work" with frauds like that. He refuses to grasp that the GOP isn't just all talk any more. They really are as amoral as they seem.

lol republicans and common sense? The two are mutually exclusive and it doesn’t take a genius to know that.. simply having been awake for the past 20 years would do the trick.

Fascism doesn't run on common sense and, unfortunately, neither does the AIPAC compromised Schumer. His time is done and we need actual opposition. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I am so tired of complaining about Schumer - he is outlasting everyone. I find no sense of leadership/confidence when I watch him speak. He should have been replaced as Dem Senate leader long ago.

Let’s #chuckchuck folks He needs to be replaced as leader Chuck is on the record saying his job in congress is to preserve aid to Israel, so he’s not going to take any strong stand to risk that goal - including protecting our democracy He’s enmeshed in our oligarchy bsky.app/profile/okay...

Okay, so about that…@okayaboutthat.bsky.social

Schumer’s brother works at Paul, Weiss as M&A partner His son in law is a lobbyist for private equity giant Blackstone. His daughters work for Amazon and Facebook/Meta. How does he then stand up to oligarchy when that means his own family? Corporate money: www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...

Republicans always have a choice. They choose obstruction, cruelty, and bad faith every time. Treating them like reluctant partners instead of ideological arsonists is how Democrats keep getting rolled. Common sense isn’t leverage. Power is.

I'll almost convince myself that Schumer was pretending to take an unpopular centrist position as a way to force Republicans to commit to a politically untenable position that would enable Democrats to slash and burn DHS while winning public approval. Then Schumer says stupid shit like this.

Something tells me that Chuckie had imaginary friends as a child and that he had a couple of them get married and follow him into adulthood. I wonder what the backstories are for his childhood friends who didn't make the cut. Maybe they were deported...

Senator Schumer, with respect, what in the past decade a change has given you the idea that the Republican Party operates on Common Sense?

Schumer: And if they don’t go along, I will wag my finger at them and threaten to write a strongly worded letter. And if that doesn’t work, I might actually write a strongly worded letter…

Work noting that if ice had done everything they are doing now except execute two American citizens in broad daylight on camera, there would be zero interest in reform. Because republicans want ice to continue doing what they are doing. There is not bipartisan solution.

In the future, men who were once called "quislings" will instead be named "this fuckin' asshole right here, holy jesus" Arguably not as concise but sometimes a different approach is required

Well, I hope you're not holding your breath for that Schumer, do everything in your power to rally or Democratic congress for the fight of our lifetime!
