Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints

Either Schumer no longer has effective control over own his caucus, or he has permitted the deal to progress with a wink and a nod behind the scenes — and with a strident disavowal for the bank of cameras he famously loves — while taking Democratic voters for fools.

    Ain’t no fucking way Chuck Schumer isn’t responsible for this. That motherfucker has been doing shit like this for a while. But, let’s be fair and say, for some fucking reason, that Schumer had nothing to do with this. Then he has absolutely no control over his party, and he should go.

    Is that a joke? Senators are independent human beings, Schumer doesn’t have a mind control device.

    He did EXACTLY what you all said you wanted him to do. Now, the goalposts have been shifted so you can continue to grind that axe. It’s bad faith.

    Like, either he sucks at his job and needs to go or he coordinated this and needs to go. And I no longer think he is bad at his job. Out of touch? Yes. A fucking dipshit? Yes. But bad at his job? No. I am not stupid enough to believe that for one second.

    Do you have any actual PROOF that Schumer engineered the capitulation? Your personal opinions on the matter aren’t really what’s under discussion here. Just vague and unsubstantiated accusations, pretty Trumpian if you ask me.

    Which means we need to replace every Dem senator with progressives.

    Keep living in a fucking dream world. Any honest person knows that that is an impossibility. You’re going to hold out for something that can’t happen and in the meantime, Republicans will continue to control the country. It is BEYOND fucking stupid.

    Why do we need to replace all the moderate Democrats that did EXACTLY what you said you wanted them to do?

      Ain’t no fucking way you’re not a troll.

      Because they didn’t do what I wanted them to do. Obviously. Did you not read?

      Idk, man, it’s literally right there.

      You should try harder?
