Well like he’s said, he’s got one job and that’s to keep the Democrats a pro-Israel party. And the Israelis have made it crystal clear what they think about Ilhan Omar

Chuck is Jewish and is literally sitting by and doing nothing, as the Trump regime does *exactly* what the Nazis did The Nazis also stripped Jews of citizenship and made them “illegal immigrants” first, which was the pretext used for shipping them to ghettos and camps

Neither Schumer nor Jeffries should lead the Senate after the midterms. Win or lose, in neither case, will they fight for anyone but the donor class. All they care about is the appearance of action, and they haven't done a single thing but wring their hands at how they aren't in the majority.

Schumer and Jeffries are not the leaders (maybe, the people in leadership positions, is a more accurate way to say it) we need.

Thus was a test, Chuck. Trump picked someone that was controversial all around to see how YOU would react….You failed. You will let Trump fuck with a dedicated congresswoman with zero pushback. Fucking pathetic.

A Zionist being completely fine with Muslim being persecuted by the state? Who would have thought. @schumer.senate.gov shows more and more every day that he only cares about his special people and their stolen land in the Levant and doesn’t give any fucks about America.

This is a bigger issue than it may appear to look like It cell towers go down, if wifi goes down - there is no communication except copper land lines, ham radios etc to communicate An EMP pulse created miles high in the sky could cripple most of the country (US, Russia, China, NK have this weapon)

I agree it's an important issue. But honestly, what is the purpose of these news releases He could "call on Verizon" ... on the phone. Or introduce legislation I'm not saying he's not right on general domestic policy. I'm saying he's completely out of touch with how media work now

And after that, ask his reaction to terrorist settler violence in Israel, including a recent assault of a female Jewish journalist.

If she were Israeli, old Cucky-Chucky woulda been on the Capitol steps in front of mics before the FBI rifled through Ilhan’s undie drawer.

yah. he sucks. embarrassed that he’s from NY. he and Jeffries both, too small for the moment. they have back bencher energy no way they should be leadership.

It turns out people like Schumer and Jeffries are fine with white supremacy as ong as they can be White Enough to not be on the shit end of the stick.

It’s takes a very, very, very, very, very, very, very long time to write a strongly worded letter to no one when you’re so old you use a feathered quill and ink that doesn’t exist to write it.

It is almost certain that Schumer is waiting until his consultants do 3 months worth of polling before he’ll even think of commenting on the Ilan Omar stuff because Schumer is a stupid coward.

I’m a Democrat. My wife and I are mailing postcards. We’re active in demonstrations and making our views known Social Media. Why don’t more people in leadership positions protest Trump’s illegal and treasonous acts?

Biden's problem was that, of the 20 nominees with a hat in the ring, he wasn't the best choice, but he was seen as the most likely to wean votes from Trump. He was in determinant, middle-of-the-road and flaccid. He was indecisive on everything, from Ukraine to Israel. Other than that he was ok.

And there's the biggest problem with the whole Democrat party in recent years: Their only concern is winning and their only real platform is not being Republican. If they'd put that "vote blue no matter who" money behind truly progressive candidates, we'd actually see some progress in this country

Nothing else Schumer has done, or not done, screams more loudly than this that it is time to replace him. He should have been leading a legion of outrage about what was illegally done to Ilhan Omar. Like her or not, it was a vicious violation of the Hatch Act Katie Miller proved it: Promises kept

Thugs run Israel Netanyahu is a war criminal wanted by the ICC Thugs are taking over our country If we don't stop the Thugs here, we won't be able to help anyone, anywhere in the future The genocide in Palestine is unconscionable and horrifying Right now our own house is on fire A 5 alarm fire

I hope that old Israeli shill chokes on his own dick. Fuck that guy and all the old ficks like him in Congress. Get rid of them . Send a message to the DNC that we want real progressive candidates only.

AIPAC's got his tongue. bsky.app/profile/trut...

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

It's just a president weaponizing the DoJ to try to baselessly strip citizenship from and deport a sitting member of Congress. It's not like it's something genuinely dangerous, like a 19-year-old student holding a sign that says genocide is wrong.

One wonders if he would have issued a statement if her religion were different. There are about a million Muslims in Chuck Schumer's state. How can they trust him to represent them fairly, if he's not willing to stand up for Omar?

I hadn’t considered this in the Omar case, but you’re right. A party leader should be out there raising hell about this. He is precisely the wrong person for the job he holds right now.

I'm so sorry he wasn't primaried this round - he has voted against healthcare for us so many times in exchange for favors and he's been getting away with it for quite a few years now.

That's because the established democrats are working with the GOP to keep the status quo. You need to fire all of them and replace them with citizens. None of them are working for you, but they all profit from your continued voting for two failed parties, who pander to the 1%.

The leadership of the Democratic party is ideologically closer to the Republicans than to progressive Democrats. The only reason I wouldn't call them DINOs is that they control the party, so functionally the entire party is collaborationist

I've said this before and I'm only half joking, but I'd imagine the last thing Schumer and Jeffries want is to control the House and have any actual responsibility to fix anything. I think they'd far rather have Johnson's paid leave, AIPAC money and the freedom to do insider trading.

The popularity of the Democratic Party is only slightly higher than the worst American ever born. Your leadership is not up to the moment. To halt the backsliding of democracy will require bold, articulate leaders able to urgently communicate the stakes. Jefferies and Schumer have GOT TO GO!

Centrist Dems hate her as much as Republicans. They especially hate her speaking up against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. They don’t seem to realize that they will be next on the chopping block for some trumped-up bullshit (pun definitely intended) as soon as the next stolen election.

The leadership shaped placeholders in the Dem caucus need to get out of the way. #Vote for fighters, primary the rest going forward.

Dem Senate Norms rule of law ignored vs nonwhite people ➡️ the silent shrug white people's feelings hurt when unelected people simply tell the truth about ... anything at all ➡️ urgent running to a mic to rage like rabid dogs

Democrats would rather let its own members, especially the barely just registering as left ones like Omar, be hurt and killed than actually fight fascism. Absolutely godawful death cult. I give them four to six years before what little political capital they have is gone and they're redundant.

Surrenderin' @schumer.senate.gov? He's getting paid enough in his portfolio and lobby dollars to ignore all of this it seems. Germany had the same issue when it fell to the Nazis. They paid the politicians off and called themselves job creators while working the people they de-legalized to death.

The majority of Democrats take their marching orders from the same place as Republicans. They don’t give a shit when the rare Democrat who actually cares about this country is threatened.
