Right? Waiting for Christmas is probably a bad plan.

mwritergirl.bsky.social•88 days ago

Strongly suggest
A new set of clubs and
A one way ticket to

Del Boca Vista for

For old Mr Schumer

He has certainly worked long enough

He/we deserve his retirement

Stat

chipduck.bsky.social•88 days ago

Hard to understand why a bunch of geriatric lightweights can’t muster up the energy to even whine convincingly.

dfly1.bsky.social•89 days ago

We need a new leadership!!
Step away Schumer!

dfly1.bsky.social•89 days ago

Exactly f****** right!!
No more "thoughts and prayers" type of shite!!!

lindasteph.bsky.social•88 days ago

Stop bringing a knife to a gun fight

inivisible400005.bsky.social•88 days ago

Eyeing delays ❓❓❓.. dammit just do it all the time every time every day every night

rwshelton.bsky.social•89 days ago

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•89 days ago

And why just USAID?

Why not the ****unconstitutional**** presidential administration, or plethora of other crimes?

danifromtheblock.bsky.social•89 days ago

A modest effort like this will require a significant amount of focus groups and cross tab analytics

mamabam.bsky.social•89 days ago

I KNOW. Do they not have any power to do anything about this??? They just keep talking and saying "we" need to stop it. Whose we? Me? I'm not there. THEY are the we. What can I do other than call them and complain. Is there a law suit I can join??

abbydunord.bsky.social•88 days ago

As retaliation for USAID??? How about retribution for stealing millions of people's personal data????

kilocharlie237.bsky.social•89 days ago

No ACTIONS.
No MONEY.

wshawnm.bsky.social•89 days ago

Christ, I'm sick of looking at sad sack Patty Murray up there whenever Schumer delivers his platitudes. All of these fossils need to retire.

chicagorob1968.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's BS. trump will just name them as acting and he can do that for two years, then put someone else in as acting for his second two years

peacehawk.bsky.social•89 days ago

Filibuster filibuster filibuster

rhodehouse.bsky.social•89 days ago

They have only begun the "tsk tsk" portion of their brilliant strategy to stop Musk and Trump. No real action is pending.

islandman57.bsky.social•88 days ago

‘Doing’ produces positive effect, ‘eyeing’ produces nothing!

freedomoverfascism.bsky.social•89 days ago

No kidding. If Tuberville could do it so can they

running-wolf.bsky.social•89 days ago

Donate to State Democracy Defenders Fund. Let's get the lawsuits going big time. They currently have filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's brake in of the Treasury Department. Go to the web site.

blu1999.bsky.social•89 days ago

Didn't they say that the day trump took office?

steverabeor.bsky.social•89 days ago

Start playing hardball for once you fossils

tjqgood.bsky.social•89 days ago

I'm getting really sick of Schumer and his do-nothing gang. I would say they are all talk and no action, however, I haven't even heard much talk!

lam01.bsky.social•89 days ago

Musk has done whatever they are doing in the government in 4 days and these guys are still “eyeing” things. Seems to me the pace is hyper speed! Let’s go!

zoulipious.bsky.social•89 days ago

BFD. Are their eyes strongly worded?

bluegirl55.bsky.social•89 days ago

Can the Mayor of DC send police. If trump and musk are not removed now this country will be having bloodshed. Is that what the rep congress want?

bellabluehere.bsky.social•89 days ago

We need fighters. The bipartisan action ship sailed. A sternly worded letter, really? Pontificating on the Capitol stairs? 🙄 We. Need. Action. NOW!

bellabluehere.bsky.social•89 days ago

Why. Is. Any. Dem. Voting. Yes. On. Anything? Have they not been paying attention to how the Rs do things? Trying to “be best?” 😡

bellabluehere.bsky.social•89 days ago

If only Dems were as skilled in taking action as they are in sending out fundraising appeals

olecurmudgeon.bsky.social•89 days ago

I'm surprised Chuckie looked up from counting his money to "eye" anything! Maybe he will form a committee to write a sternly worded letter.
Or do the usual Dem leadership act; do nothing!

elainett.bsky.social•89 days ago

Gas it Chuck! The cliff isn’t getting less steep as the minutes pass.

vargulfen.com•89 days ago

I’m eyeing a geriatric man who should have retired a decade ago. These people are not up for the fight!

tjfrock.bsky.social•89 days ago

Are they voting on Kennedy right now?

reneecee.bsky.social•89 days ago

DO IT‼️‼️‼️

saltyshawn.bsky.social•89 days ago

They should have been doing this since Day One

fembirdy.bsky.social•89 days ago

Pronto

amyb8888.bsky.social•89 days ago

The milquetoast response of Dems is almost as horrifying as what Trump/Musk are doing.

flxible.bsky.social•89 days ago

No, what's horrifying is that Americans have these chuds the keys, knowing they intended to do just what they're doing now.

pattipips.bsky.social•89 days ago

Omg- they grew a god damn spine overnight!

walkfortherapy.bsky.social•89 days ago

WTF are they waiting for? This is insane!

shachac.bsky.social•89 days ago

Wtf Democrats? Why even support you anymore?

gloriacm-1.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yes!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬

johnanderson2.bsky.social•89 days ago

The old guard is not ready for this moment.

envy2024.bsky.social•89 days ago

OMG. The lackluster actions. Geez.

julesp1.bsky.social•89 days ago

Ummm they have already been appointed

nathanimal.bsky.social•89 days ago

Why TF was wasn't obstruction of *everything* Dems' strategy from the moment this Congress was convened? Bipartisanship is dead and buried. Their job is harm reducjton by any means available to them.

citymtn.bsky.social•89 days ago

The term “eyeing” to me sounds more like they’re “meh, considering”. Seems to me it would require a more urgent, tone? 🤦🏼‍♀️

christysweet.bsky.social•89 days ago

14thNow

themadstatist.com•89 days ago

Oh but hey, they're gonna propose a law to make that which is already illegal, super duper illegal. That'll stop 'em. 🙄🤬

gallo678.bsky.social•89 days ago

That photo does not instill confidence in me.

glockenspiel70.bsky.social•88 days ago

Again, too late with hardball tactics.

didonna67.bsky.social•89 days ago

The Democrats need wartime leaders

philipmeowlowe.bsky.social•89 days ago

Jesus, can someone jump start their batteries? They’re slower out the gate than a horse with gout!

stormwolfhall.bsky.social•88 days ago

STOP ENABLING NAZIS

sailorduck.bsky.social•89 days ago

Schumer is so gutless

genxdinosaur.bsky.social•89 days ago

So...a plan to make a plan?

jag032507.bsky.social•89 days ago

Maybe they can issue another strongly worded email.

jerlew.bsky.social•89 days ago

The eyeing process might end sooner if Chuck fixed his glasses.

csiwriter.bsky.social•89 days ago

BS The Democrats have joined the MAGATS!
They are working against us as well!
This country is doomed because of the betrayal of the @dscc.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social!

cielenbleu.bsky.social•89 days ago

Hurry up and finish discussing it!

imaprivate.bsky.social•89 days ago

This is OFFENSIVE.

The story broke DAYS ago, and NOW they’re finally “eyeing” a response???? 😤

While Elmo made it clear his unvetted incel boys were pillaging our systems over the weekend…

catmomdo.bsky.social•89 days ago

Soooo frustrating. It's already too late for our data you can bet on that. In this world of surveillance capitalism that's like a holy grail treasure trove, that is worth more than gold.

miserrimusdexter.bsky.social•89 days ago

Geez! His tweet! Musk is an egotistical power crazed maniac 😬

rdsluckybreak.bsky.social•89 days ago

Eyeing. Yay. They’re “eyeing”. Is that the same as rolling over and playing dead?

z1229.bsky.social•89 days ago

"restructuring"??
If you set fire to a building, is that "restructuring?

fireandwater.bsky.social•88 days ago

Stop F$#I'ing around and do it. It's time to stop acting like a nice liberal and start acting like a rebel liberal. Our country is literally at stake.

thebirdieking.bsky.social•89 days ago

So basically moving like a stubborn donkey - the symbol of Democratic Party -- got it!!

ncyankeegirl.bsky.social•89 days ago

Just do it!!’n

hlaferrara1.bsky.social•89 days ago

My earlier suggestion to him still stands

That is you

Get off your ass before BigBalls and the rest of Incel Isis destroy the govt

Occupy Doge

kimberlybos.bsky.social•88 days ago

Wow - such courage

firerokita.bsky.social•89 days ago

McConnell has it all mapped out from the ACA fight, no need to reinvent the wheel. Ezra Levin has McConnell’s plan.

tekguy630.bsky.social•89 days ago

Big whoop. That's it. I'm telling you right now many weak Democrats will not be re-elected. Younger more assertive candidates will replace them.

convergence-zone.bsky.social•88 days ago

They should boycott the entire congress - it’s worthless right now anyways. If they block noms - trump will probably just install them. He’s breaking every other law. Why give the cabinet any sense of legitimacy by holding hearing where they blatantly lie under oath? Just refuse to show up.

The retirement home known as congress isn’t used to operating at the necessary speeds of today’s world

behinddascene.bsky.social•89 days ago

DO SOMETHING. stop the coup

captainjimmyj.bsky.social•89 days ago

They should have boycotted the confirmation hearings. No quorum, no vote. Paralysis of Trump agenda.

bluebird4.bsky.social•89 days ago

Pathetic

coolbeanscole.bsky.social•89 days ago

Thanks, but time to take a page from the old-school Republican playbook and “obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.” The GOP did this when they were in the minority, and it gummed up the works for awhile. Bi-partisanship and being conciliatory will not stop the avalanche. Become the “party of no.”

kurtwhittet.bsky.social•89 days ago

They’ll decide to start doing right after Trump’s last nomination is confirmed

televisedanarchy.bsky.social•89 days ago

Making a list...checking it 3,545,378 times...

bobhoyng.bsky.social•89 days ago

If Schumer's gonna successfully eye those delays, he may need some new glasses.

swegringo.bsky.social•89 days ago

It doesn't seem to matter if they just put the people physically in place and do their shit, legally or not. And its only going to get worse until someone stops this. I mean, who's going to arrest them?

stylemartian444.bsky.social•89 days ago

If someone could come gather the hall monitors, that'd be great.

logan8r.bsky.social•88 days ago

They didn’t delay the AG nomination, which will probably result in half of them getting arrested.

singlemaltz.bsky.social•89 days ago

I’m sorry to say this, but I’m starting to dislike them as much as I dislike the Repugnantcans.

Sad.

singlemaltz.bsky.social•89 days ago

Too EFFING LATE!!!!

They are so WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE!

The guy who wants to KILL US ALL! just got confirmed!

birdydownunder.bsky.social•89 days ago

Schumer has all the gravitas of a substitute teacher and Jeffries sounds like a robot programmed to speak like a legal disclaimer.

As correct as he is, we need people who can sound human, explain simply and roust millions from their slumber, not put them to sleep.

gwolf8958.bsky.social•89 days ago

Eyeing was 7 days ago. Today they need to draw blood and start filing lawsuits on behalf of the American people.

blue44wp.bsky.social•89 days ago

This would never have taken this long with Nancy Pelosi in charge!

blue44wp.bsky.social•89 days ago

Just f king do it!

jolew927.bsky.social•88 days ago

Too little too late

stark7712.bsky.social•89 days ago

We needed a wartime consigliere and we got Tom Hagen/Chuck Schumer.

suedei.bsky.social•89 days ago

Remember, the news says things the way it wants us to react. For example, it should say Democrats are taking action on the Felon President's nominees.

trashiepanda.bsky.social•89 days ago

Progressives have a different method. 👋

akumetsu1983.bsky.social•89 days ago

Privately eye-ing🤔 what the hell does that even mean?

realdanapartridge.bsky.social•89 days ago

My earlier comment - Lewis Cass, Pres. Buchanan’s Secretary of State, resigned in December 1860 with the comment, “The people in the South are mad; the people in the North are asleep; the President is pale with fear.”

Today - “The President is mad; MAGA are asleep; Democrats are pale with fear.”

utternonesense.bsky.social•89 days ago

"Delays" That's showing 'em! Get off your asses and do something tangible, something permanent!

v2-0.bsky.social•89 days ago

They had better hurry up bc too many of those unqualified and abhorrent nominees have gotten confirmed already.
Meanwhile, Musk is continuing to dismantle the US gov't. Is there no one who will physically remove his minions from govt buildings?

lisettek.bsky.social•89 days ago

Why wait for tomorrow for what you could do today?

glmoncrief.bsky.social•89 days ago

LETS GO ALREADY!! What are you waiting for?

Flood Schumer's offices with calls if you don't live close where you can drop in.

loverhersports50.bsky.social•89 days ago

Schumer really needs to step aside.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•89 days ago

Still triangulating trying to find that compromise

iampilgrim.bsky.social•89 days ago

they should have done that in the first place...lord have mercy!

wyoyogi.bsky.social•89 days ago

Don’t just eye it! Do it!

vfree3.bsky.social•88 days ago

If they allow that Russian plant Tulsi Gabbard to get nominated I will work to primary all of them.

sleestak51.bsky.social•89 days ago

Do they have Merrick Garland making their Gantt charts?

sasantello.bsky.social•89 days ago

Just freaken do it!

lord-of-crime.bsky.social•89 days ago

Also, when it's been reported and out for the public to know, it's no longer "privately."

thegoodonesaregone.bsky.social•88 days ago

Oh, yeah. Let's eye that a little longer.

bluejerseyjenn.bsky.social•89 days ago

concernedcitizen26.bsky.social•88 days ago

We need a real third option! Republicans are traitors in the name of money. Democrats are cowards who do nothing but talk a big game. WE NEED A BETTER CHOICE!!!!!!!

If Kamala had won, this would have been the Fascist PaRty on Day 1. Too little too late.

Fuck, yeah! Why do they move so goddamn slow?!?!

maplepoutine.bsky.social•89 days ago

Dems voted for Rubio and the guy is claiming feeding starving kids is too woke and the funding should be cut. Nice on democrats

moonshot07161969.bsky.social•89 days ago

Those milquetoasts are unable to change. Sorry, time for a new tough party. Will not go against DEMS, but supplement them where needed.

moonshot07161969.bsky.social•89 days ago

Schumer needs to be replaced by Adam Schiff or Mark Kelly ASAP!

jaxxnj.bsky.social•89 days ago

Where is the outrage Dems????

mrnelson59.bsky.social•88 days ago

Dragging feet is what got us here. "Hay, I got my eye on it. Yup it moved." Chess, Checkers, Cards, baseball, what ever. They better start playing smarter. Anticipating, and get on offense, instead of chasing their trail of debris. Make plans, papers of secession. Form a new government. Cut funds.
