"Trump's crimes only matters if he does them after the 6-3 Republican supermajority on the Supreme Court says he's a bad boy." is quite a take

Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Don’t put off to tomorrow what you can do today.
DELAY isn’t an option.
Note the South Park "X-?-Profit!" meme structure of his assertion: SCOTUS will be defied, the public will rise up, and we just slip right past the question of Congressional Dems' responsibility
How fuckn corrupt can you be
The position is to uphold law and interpret law not do favors for the rich and want more

What if the Republican supermajority decides renditioning citizens to El Salvador is legal?
There's no "defiance" if they excuse Trump's conduct, or punt until after his term

What is the "if"? 😂 Trump has *already* been defying the courts, to the point where the Chief Justice issued a statement begging him to let SCOTUS excuse his conduct via appeal rather than insist a judge be impeached
And what if the public doesn't "rise up"?
What if they're too busy trying to put food on the table while the entire safety net is dismantled around them?
Dems ignore reality in that scenario?
What if the public does rise up, but the rising up is violent and not politically "clean"?
Do D elected officials have any obligation to do anything at all otherwise?
It's lazy
It's weak
And it reflects a politician who does not measure up to the moment he finds himself in, despite 4 years of history now repeating itself
Schumer has been so maddingly disappointing.
I assume you believe Alyssa’s argument is naive and foolish too huh?
This is what happened in Germany (and he likely knows that.)
And a minimally sentient potato would be a better alternative
Bernie and aoc more productive getting vibes fired up for 2026, chuck was right to not shut down, carville is right to say hold your fire.
Going after Schumer is unproductive self own. Libs good at that!
You understand that basic math?
He is being the fall guy for the party to allow what's happening with aoc and Bernie to happen.
Chuck has been around forever, gotta give him some credit.
If they had shutdown it would have crushed any chance of 2026
"The Dem leadership, with the most money and biggest megaphone, is being intentionally awful because it's a good thing!" is nonsense
He has ignored every means of power left to him…
VOTE HIM OUT!
Doesn’t mean need to be. We need to get rid of Schumer.
Don't insult rusty thumbtacks like that...
No need for further evidence, He is doing, has done, and will continue to do anti-constituational and clearly impeachable offenses.
ONLY words of action are in order, to make room for “maybe he won’t” is itself impeachable at this point.
