I’m old enough to remember when he promised that passing Johnson’s CR wouldn’t hurt DC, because he had a side deal to fix it.

blakeau19.bsky.social•3 days ago

He put on his angry eyes and wrote out a letter with 8 strongly worded questions. What more do you want from him? 🙃

Also prepare to be disappointed when Schumer similarly fails to deliver on his promise to actually do something if Trump's approval dips below 40%

nickhasthoughts.com•3 days ago

to be fair to ol' chucky he implied that he would *follow* the mass resistance

tri-stan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Even then chuck said it was the masses reponsibility to push back by protest. He’d support it but lead from the back.
Craven coward.

The same Chuck Schumer who was in the middle of a constitutional crisis 2 months ago and thought it hadn't happened yet?

iamzeeeggman.bsky.social•3 days ago

this is one of the great insights the cons had a couple decades ago: if you just ignore it* and keep going, in 3-4 days nobody is talking about it anymore. "elite media" and "insiders" just go along with it.
(*scandalous action/comment that used to justifiably end careers)

nurseratchet.bsky.social•3 days ago

@schumer.senate.gov probably wrote him a strong letter

alostkender.bsky.social•3 days ago

Or when his approvals fell below 40%

travisteatime.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's already imagining the Baileys doing it for him, what more could you want?

happyrumrunner.bsky.social•3 days ago

he's working on the mother of all strongly worded letters

davidfitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Chucky told me to start a fire if this were to happen

Senility is a bitch.

Dem Kabuki Theatre is never 5 🌟s.

urbwes.bsky.social•3 days ago

He never promised to help. He assumed "the people" would rise up. In other words, someone else is supposed to stop Trump. He can't be bothered.

unknown-smoke.bsky.social•3 days ago

i guess he meant a sc decision he that aligned with his personal politics as deporting immigrants, whether legally or otherwise, has essentially bipartisan support among the ruling class

tectorgorch.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s drafting eight very strong questions. What more could we ask?

bluewo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dump Schumer 🤡💩

jsthrill.modphi.com•3 days ago

wait did he say he would help or did he just tell us to do it?

craigynoodlehorn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Chuck will bravely sit on that fence as he keeps a clear and steely eye out for people demanding change in a way he find’s acceptable

13rrk13.bsky.social•3 days ago

Chuckles needs to resign.

danielmontgomery.bsky.social•3 days ago

He actually said that WE would mobilize and take to the streets. Even when he promised action, he washed his own hands of it. Forget the fact that him and his party threw protesters under the bus when they were opposing genocide, and now he expects the public to rise up.

kelpkelpkelp.bsky.social•3 days ago

The whole TikTok divestment/ban thing should have been a canary in the coalmine on how national Do-Nothing Dem Caucus would act generally. They are just pretending a law that they JUST PASSED. doesn't exist. Both parties. It's a dumb law, but it's still the law!

feferg.bsky.social•3 days ago

Short answer. Most democrats are coochies ( trying to curse less) and need to be primaried, while Republicans are vicious animals when they fight.

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•3 days ago

@schumer.senate.gov is worried his Republican friends are not going to invite him to more exclusive parties in the Hamptons

misterfungi.bsky.social•3 days ago

what exactly do you want him to do, write another letter? there’s only so many hours in the day!

craigynoodlehorn.bsky.social•3 days ago

And only so many strong questions he can put in them! Strong questions do not grow on trees!

lawrencemoratl.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can hear it now - “We’re just waiting for the case to make its way through the courts.” This is a big reason Congress has lost its power - They’ve abdicated it to the courts for years.

jlfboykin.bsky.social•3 days ago

Schumer is an enabler and needs to go.

ifollowonlyos.bsky.social•3 days ago

What would you rather do? Mobilize a mass resistant event or share his recipe for guacamole that is made with avocados...because he surely can't do both

corwe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Frustrating.

ptryck.bsky.social•3 days ago

he is working on a strong letter with 8 strong questions.

jakers.bsky.social•3 days ago

"I'll start exercising if my triglycerides are high"

*test comes back declaring me to be 80% Papa John's garlic butter*

"ehhh..."

bassdownlow.bsky.social•3 days ago

So, not very old, eh?

bjc860.bsky.social•3 days ago

So, you're saying a sternly worded letter asking "8 strong questions" isn't quite enough??

Lol.

bmazmanian.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's not fair Max I have it on good account that Schumer is planning on sliding his readers down his nose in disdain a full three millimeters

craigynoodlehorn.bsky.social•3 days ago

That’s how he powers up to write his very strongly worded letters and questions to the president

mkennedymartin.bsky.social•3 days ago

Schumer is a lobbyist, who kept his senate seat. He has to go.

bringthenoise.bsky.social•3 days ago

Reached for comment, Schumer’s office stated that he had his fingers crossed when he said that

gregpomes.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m sure he’s working on another strongly worded letter

notandrewcuomo.bsky.social•3 days ago

To be fair, he never promised to mobilize it, he just predicted it would spontaneously occur. He is pretty consistent about not needing to do anything personally.

fmrfosterkidatty.bsky.social•3 days ago

My theory is that he thinks this administration is the best way to protect Israel. He doesn't care about Democracy as long as Israel is protected. That's just my theory about him. I think Israel is fully able to protect itself. But Schumer is way old and stuck in old paradigms.

katiathemick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Everything is Jacksonian forever now

aeromunch.bsky.social•3 days ago

In his defense it is pudding time in the Senate cafeteria
