AOC is not alone. None of us will forget what Schumer is doing. He is showing what I and my friends in Indivisible believe: that he is displaying "learned helplessness," and a lack of necessary courage. He is 78 years old and frozen in time. He needs to go!

I'm 81 and I agree. Time for dem leadership without shriveled up testicles!

You are a welcome breath of fresh, unshriveled air!

Love it!! I am also 78 and am glad to tell them off. The orange creep can't grow a new pair so time for special undies. Well padded with built in deodorant. #notsosecret #nottootightywhities

Exactly. I don't think he's malevolent and even he was miffed by this DOGE stuff, but he's too much of a relic of a bygone era when Democrats were super wishy washy, centrist, and fetishized bipartisanship to a fault. The age of "Dems Playing Nice" is over! Time to get tough!

It's not to late to call him and demand he not turn yellow for the orange one.

Yeah about that. His senate voicemail hung up on me, only after several attempts to get through to it. It felt intentional.

Well, here's another way to contact the guy. Post your message under the "Budget" heading... https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck

I did earlier this morning. Do we have a list of other potential defectors that we can call/email/message?

IтАЩm from Michigan, but I emailed Schumer anyway. He needs to hear this from people out of State too!

You can never reach the top people in the Democratic party.

I called.. not sure it does any good though. I am totally fed-up, disillusioned, disheartened, frustrated! Why so much concern about people being angered by a potential government shut down?? WhereтАЩs the concern about losing our GOVERNMENT? Where is the logic??

Schumer and Donald Trump goes way back. Donald at one point contributed to SchumerтАЩs election. I have always felt Schumer was involved in helping Melania Trump obtaining the EB-1 visa. AKA Einstein Visa, which is reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim, people who are highly acclaimed in their field. For example: Pulitzer prize winners, Oscar, respected academic, researchers, and Olympic winners. Personally I do not feel dating Donald Trump or the type of modeling she was doing at the time would be considered,

extraordinary abilities

Holy shit! "reserved for immigrants with extraordinary ability" in no way applies to Melanoma! She is the most embarrassing, grifting first lady in my lifetime, and I am 85 years old.

Also she is a high school drop out and was never even a top notch model! Nothing to offer other than nude photos and after over 30 years she still doesnтАЩt speak descent English so she certainly isnt bright enough to be necessary!

You can say I am snarky, but she had extra-ordinary abilities. However, not the kind debated when the EB-1 was created. Putin with his recent photo release revealed some of her talents!

I got thru ЁЯШд and I let him now in a very polite way...I was pissed.

78 years old? You think that is old? That is discrimination... You are a liberal? Learned helplessness? Take your pharses and shove them,,, If the government were shut down....Trump dream will come true He has no motivation to reopen it MAGA people are way too fucking stupid to understand that shutdown would hurt them,,,, but Trump does not care.. The last thing that the Democrats. if they are to change national minds need is AOC anywhere

Really? That is typical bullshit half ass so called progressive dogmatic fucking comment.. That is precisely, in a nutshell whu you blithering arrogant assole idiots will never ever win another national election? You claim to be progressive, but have the effrontery to suggest that I do not belong on this site? Who the fuck are you...the admission police.. You do not determine who and posts and what is said where.. You are not a progressive.. You are a regressive Nazi... On this site? Fuck you! How is that

Really, Pete? You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Unfortunately, you really are a foul mouth, pathetic, insignificant, creature whose desperately seeking some place to feel relevant. You would be well advised to start with cleaningЁЯЪ░ up your language. A little advice you should consider.

Expand full comment

Oh, Pete. Clean up your language. You sound like one of those poor, downtrodden, discriminated against white boys/ you know the ones the whole world is against. How sad ЁЯШв

I agree with you about the age thing. Not a good reason to denounce someone. But I am tired of Democratic leaders not standing up and taking a risk for their principles. It is going to get tough. But, Trump and Musk are attacking Medicare, Medicaid, trans people, immigrants, our neighbors, our allies We need to stand up to this and let them know no way, not now, not ever. .

Go hold his bags when he gets voted out. Trump needs to be stood up to and held responsible.

Expand full comment

That is Schumer's excuse for his lack of testicular fortitude per his statement, and no, it becomes apparent to almost everyone that the government is out of money when the government is shut down.
