i wonder if it has sunk in yet that his historical legacy is completely toast.
it isn't going to mention much about his previous decades of service— but the last month is definitely getting some space. about how useless he was when faced with an actual constitutional crisis.

Gross story from this aged delusional, grifting old dinosaur in ‘gym shorts on the treadmill panting alongside republicans’

#VichySchumer
Republicans are all about as right-wing. MAGA are facists. Both are shit and both shouldn't be in power.
Chuck Schumer wants to be a Republican. He loves them and wants to compromise with them because he is a morally bankrupt POS. No different than Republicans.
He sounded like a damn fool and later when he went on the Chris Hayes show and made things even worse. He is so accustomed to having people believe his lies that he doesn't even noice when they don't.
This is a good point, every woman sitting with him there is in danger because he decided to be a cowardly piece of shit and his party adopted a failing strategy in the last election. We'll deserved indeed.
Exactly!!! He doesn't deserve respect. He doesn't deserve kindness. He had 1 job. To protect the American people and their democracy and do the right thing for ALL citizens of the US. HE FAILED.
Let's face it, top Democratic politicians have chosen losing strategies in the last several elections. They only won because of the determination of voters against fascism. We cannot fight against fascism and a feckless Democratic party. We need new party leaders.
Damage is done. The more he talks, the deeper his grave. Leave the man his shovel and let him dig. The key is to neuter him in public and he's doing it to himself now.
What Chuck says matters less by the day as the reaction to his actions grows. Tick tock.
The one thing politicians and rock stars share in common is that they are both just too ego driven and lack the self-awareness to retire while still at the top of their game. Instead, they often carry on well past their prime to be remembered as a sad, pathetic oldies act.
This interview blitz crap is NOTHING but a way to do a safe book promotion. He knows if he goes face to face with constituents they'd rip him up one side and down the other and give a rats ass about him trying to hawk his book.
I can't w anyone who has smoke for him in this disproportionate manner. He is trying to form a sizable governing coalition again someday. Here are so many fair weather Dems who think it is on the individuals in power, not the entire team, voters and pols.
He could have assured a short shutdown by assuring any Fed worker that did not want to show up in unpaid status would not get fired.
The Fed employees could slow down the airports, the ports, the borders, etc.
Also their arguments regarding the courts shutting down was false.
Dems have zero power to assure anyone anything.
It is tragic that folk do not understand what a team endeavor this all is.
No, he could not have, read the thread.
Dems have no power over any Federal worker, none, zip, nada.
Your last statement is ether/vapor/false af.
None of y'all read this. https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse.senate.gov/post/3lkjexynkck2n You'd agree w the vote of Sen Whitehouse, but if you read his thread, you'd know that any folk that are so sure of what the right stance was is a fool, that goes triple for talking heads on the view who can muster a stare, meh to the tenth.
I read those arguments from him &others. I'm not buying it. For one *they are already doing what he says a shutdown would bring*
Schumer *announced* he was NO then flip flopped after the House was unified.
I defend the Ds all day every day but they blew it.
Schumer is not a communicator we need one.
That first premise, no they are not already doing what a shut down would do. Under a full shut down they'd have their dreams come true. No we need a solid pol, you need a communicator because you want to be spoonfed. Defend Dems all day? Great, don't write gop oppo for them. Dems did this as a group
They pretty much already have a supermajority so long as these feckless, cowardly dems vote with them on stuff like the CR. I get that things could technically be worse, but we got here because of the dems, and if they don't show that they have learned a lesson, then they don't deserve support.
Not wrong. She's kinda dope af... except when she shared that after roe v wade fell. She's a NO exceptions catholic pro lifer. BUT she did say faith shouldn't be making court decisions. So i guess there its whatever
"Not all Republicans"??? The biggest problem is they all vote the same way. They are all MAGA garbage. John McCain is no longer across the aisle @schumer.senate.gov. They are a hostile group hell bent on harvesting this country for their own self interest. Get fucking with it!!!
So, his logic is that he didn’t want to shut the government down and hurt people because democrats would be blamed…so instead he’s betting that the ENTIRE COUNTRY will suffer and democrats will escape the blame.
Even though, you know, their job is also to govern. He’s an idiot.
I was willing to give Schumer some benefit of the doubt at first or that he got scared and folded, but at this point, it's clearly a stubborn ego trip that he can do no wrong matched with outdated delusions about the state of politics.
“ok, well technically not *every* step of the way. this step last week of codifying all their lawbreaking, some of us helped with that. but very soon we’ll fight every step you better believe it.
Schumer you need to go he is a sympathizer with the republicans! There are no sane ones left! Each step they take has been to serve Trump! That makes all of them Magas!
They could have drinking game for every time he says something like that. Double shots for the story about huffing & sweating on the Elliptical at the Senate Gym.
He's trying to separate them personally and "professionally". Except their profession and independent decision to be complicit is actively harming people. It doesn't matter how buddy-buddy they are personally, they are scumbags and Schumer can't make the distinction.
So much easier to have imaginary constituents though. They are hardly any trouble at all with their non-pesky no-problem lives! Hope he's happy with those imaginary donations.
Don't talk to your actual constituents and hear a wide-range of actual concerns. Just invent some imaginary ones based on what you think it's like to be an average American, the overwhelming majority of which are not middle class. What. A. Tool.
So he can understand a case of changing what he's been doing for a long time "for the book's sake." Wow. Maybe we should ask him to think of our country "for the book's sake."
Trump's tax cuts from first term increased the personal income taxes of residents in New York by capping the SALT deduction at $10,000. Why aren't Democrats reminding their constituents of Trump's tax cuts that went mainly to the wealthy?
If the Democrats want to fundraise on these people they are SOL. I’m not supporting these old entrenched rich Democrat fucks anymore. Primary them & I will support younger, savvy, brave, uncivil Democrats.
Well deserved, time for this old man to pack up and pass the torch. So many old white men are incapable of acknowledging the toiles mace moved past them. Myopia, arrogance, self indulgence – whatever you want to call it, it is disastrous for the rest of us and indeed for the world.
Because if one sticks their head up the oligarchy will bankroll their opponents in primaries. They’re scared. If any have courage, they should stand together.
They could have done it 9 years ago.. but they were craven cowards who knew trump was red meat to the base. They thought he had no chance, and each one thought they'd be the one who could snatch up his followers. Pathetic. Each one more selfish & stupid than the last.. falling like facist dominoes
I think we know now they have no courage so maybe we ought to simply write them off and proceed otherwise.
And why would anyone have the sentimentals for pre-Trump Republicans anyway? THEY HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE FOREVER.
...they simply lacked the self-destructive nerve to simply do away with the law before. But though they used to be conscious they would have to cover it up, THEY BROKE THE LAW A LOT.
Yep. Those who were willing to stick out their necks to stand up to Trump have done so. Every elected republican left has proved that they are unwilling to publicly defy dear leader, whatever their personal feelings about him.
Who’s gonna tell him that his avalanche of MSM appearances look desperate and are completely unconvincing? You gotta go @schumer.senate.gov Do your patriotic duty to this nation and GO NOW and let us all focus on saving our county from the Trump Musk oligarchy
@schumer.senate.gov is on a book tour
With regards to the CR, he basically said that he had to pass it or people would be protesting in the streets- then basically said that we need to protest in the streets!
That was the only tip he had since we will have the same situation in September!
He said when Trump started he would not be an impediment for the CR. Then he said he would. Then he didn't. I wonder how much money it cost someone to get that outcome. I think that PAC or lobbyist is who he was really negotiating with.
Even saying "not all republicans" shows how he is not up for this fight.
Regardless of individuals, the Republican Party is officially the MAGA party. Trying to claim otherwise once again shows he is not ready for this moment.
Yes they are because for some unknown reason the republicans in both houses will shudder at the thought of challenging.
They work against their constituents needs for the success of project 2025. I hope you all choke on a chicken bone.
So he should. Him and the nine cowards that surrendered with him should expect to receive a full throated response from pissed of dems / progs and indies.
he completely toasted his legacy. future history will *definitely* be mentioning his (in-)action in the past few months and will barely mention his decades prior.
He's just not listening. He doesn't understand the moment, and he doesn't understand his task. He's like Elissa Slotkin--she delivered an outstanding response to the SOTU...for the GW Bush era and before, but a wholly impotent one for today. The Dem party needs to rise up as one and push him out.
Chuck is very delusional and hypocritical to the extreme! He's a failure and needs to look in the mirror. WTH!?😱
Being famous & known doesn't mean you're right, not even close! Trump is proof of that fact!🤔
The seals clapping in the audience are unbelievable as well.🤷🏽
No matter how distasteful, how disgusting republicans feel about something they stick together & follow party line.
Democrats..not so much. So divided they fall & now look where we are 😡
And not all Democrats look absolutely ridiculous wearing clownish old fashioned glasses like that in public. Unfortunately the guy who seems to be the face of the party these days, does.
Would u rather have the give shut down then the President makes all the decisions of government. Then they will never reopen the government because they’re in charge now
Still with the "not all republicans" bit. He never learns. He was too scared to go on his book tour and hear from real people so he decides to go on tv instead
Regardless, the fact remains that The View has ALWAYS had one or two Republican women on its panel, which people in this comment thread seem somehow to be oblivious to.
Schumer's comment was in acknowledgment of that. Hence why the camera cut to one of them laughing in response.
He is not required to pander to them or make exceptions for them. If they want to be Republicans and all that it says about them them own it. The fact is Schumer still believes there are good Republicans and wants to work with them. He holds them in higher regard than the left wing of his own party!
The View has always been about pitting Democrat and Republican women against each other. Ostensibly its about finding common ground or some shit, but the reality this is about the views-and-clicks that get generated when the women get into a fight that goes viral.

It's also hard to sit and listen to bs coming from a slinky.

LATER BIATCHESSSS
ALL REPUBLIKLANS ARE THE PROBLEM.
NONE OF THEM HAVE CHOSEN AMERICA OVER TRUMP.
Yes, that is a play on ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ for those that even notice
What Chuck says matters less by the day as the reaction to his actions grows. Tick tock.
No-one's buying Schumer's shit, and he's helping the US go to shit!
Yes it is all Republicans.
Every single one. 100%

All republicans ARE MAGA except for those like Kinzinger and Cheney.
The Fed employees could slow down the airports, the ports, the borders, etc.

"Not at Republicans" ...
Does he mean those "good ones" that SPEAK OUT and VOTE AGAINST trumpMAGA/DOGE?
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
She's going to snap your head off!
"I don't know if I can genuinely do this for my job" cognitive dissonance moment, IMO...
And I'm not blaming her! Simple observation.
The hypocrite thinks he's fighting?
#ResignChuck #FckChuck
What a show of strength and mental agility
"Not all Republicans" JFC
YOU DIDN'T FIGHT, CHUCK!
Just another snake.
#TheReformers
That was the bet that Schumer made
Even though, you know, their job is also to govern. He’s an idiot.
Have you read my book?”
He is super condescending and I’m glad they showed their true feelings.
Pick a lane, Chuck!
#TheReformers
We need people willing to stand up for what's right. Not complicit, delusional assholes.
Picture of elected Republicans
i hope he can book a headlining spot at the Chuckle Hut. regular comedy genius.

Schumer is right and AOC is wrong

Which Republicans is he referring to? Looking at their voting record, which Republicans does he consider different?
It’s time for Schumer to face America in a televised, live venue to answer questions.
They work against their constituents needs for the success of project 2025. I hope you all choke on a chicken bone.
The sooner they are all gone, the better.
