Can’t wait for Peter Thiel’s good little doggy to be president. I’m sure this will smooth over neatly.
See here’s the thing. we have tried that “impeachment and removal” thing twice already. It is a waste of time if the senate won’t commit to the removal part.
The senator from Israel is doing his job.
Surely the Baileys support impeachment by now, right?
Dear Leader has something on him.
Schumer is a hardcore Zionist and always has been. He won’t publicly express it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s delighted to see what Trump is trying to do to Iran.
Yep. A whole lot of dumbasses fall for the usual ageist psyop against people like Schumer. The real problem is how these people are bought and sold, not their age, FFS.
Didn’t he say outloud that his only job in office was to support Israel?
Schumer said, “I have many jobs as leader … and one is to fight for aid to Israel, all the aid that Israel needs.”

He is complicit and should visit the Hague upside down
Chuck Schumer is a goddamn traitor
It seems like Schumer is in the Epstein files.
I’m surprised he didn’t jump right on it after seeing the terms of surrender we agreed to with Iran.
If those stand I am legitimately a little concerned that Israel might try to nuke Iran because Iran will exit all of this in a much stronger position than it entered and that’s bad news for the genocide gang.
Democrats now are the Republicans of 30 years ago. Everything has moved to the fucking right…and Chuck Shumer sucks corporate cock just like the Republicans.
Schumer is useless, but the Senate doesn’t impeach.
And they make it sound like impeachment would work, but anybody with a couple brain cells knows it won’t. He was impeached twice for actual crimes and went on to get elected again, you think impeaching him for threatening language is going to work?
This is just another story based on tweets.
He can say something.
Like what?
“Let’s impeach Donald.”
Weird that he won’t.
I get the frustration but what I would hear is “Let’s waste time doing another failed impeachment that solidifies Trump’s position, makes us look stupid and costs us in the midterms.”
Trumps defense would be that he has free speech in negotiations and all people would hear for a month is that Democrats are putting free speech on trial, a sentiment Republicans already hold.
Senate leader’s job is to do more than just occasionally vote. If schumer wont do the job he needs to get the eff out of the role of minority leader.
Senate dems can call for an election of a new minority leader any time they want. Its an internal to the party process. Why arent they firing him? Schumers not doing his job, but all the other dems in congress are sitting around with their heads up their rears not forcing the issue.
Is he one of those on the side of Israel? Regardless of how even their actions are?
Yes he’s an Israeli asset. He will do whatever his handlers from AIPAC tell him
So he’s probably fine with Trump’s actions on Iran. No notes.
You’re making the assumption that he’s not doing EXACTLY what his role is meant to be right now. He’s doing it perfectly.
The disagreement here is on what his role says it is on paper and what his actual role is in this illusion of a Democracy people keep screaming about. These people aren’t lazy. They aren’t dumb. They are doing exactly what the people they represent want them to do.
We live in a representative Republic but the people being represented are a small small minority of the population. The people that politicians represent are the people that give them money. How long we gotta pretend?
How long we gotta ask questions like “why aren’t they doing X when all the lies I believe about our government tell me they should do X”.
Until they fear the population MORE than they fear the 1% nothing will change. And they sure as hell don’t fear losing voters in the Democratic party. They LOVE not having any power and just collecting donations to sit on their asses. The Democrats are really happy in their position right now. Why would they make an effort to go against their donors wishes when their donors just want them to sit on their ass and occasionally do some performative filibuster record or government shutdown record that inevitably has no impact on policy.
The Democrats of the past decade are the Washington Generals to the Republicans’ Globetrotters. They only exist to give the illusion of opposition. They get dunked on and then collect their paychecks.
Hello fellow MikeFromPA fan. At least that’s where I’ve heard this analogy a lot.
Chuck Schumer does not represent his constituents, he represents his campaign contributors.
There’s always a reason.
The head is in the ass for warmth.
Schumer literally cannot take action on impeachment. He’s a Senator, impeachment starts in the House.
Talk to Mike Johnson if you want to get impeachment rolling. LOL. Good luck with that!
A senator, and minority leader, is more than a dude who complains and votes whenever they can, and occasionally calls the president an unhinged asshole on social media.
Homie could walk from skyscraper to skyscraper in NYC calling out CEOs individually and gather an insane crowd behind him doing so.
Make a spectacle, get attention, start trouble. There is a genocide and a war on. Paint “impeach” on your chest and start running around the Lincoln memorial, lol. He can do shit, obviously, because he has a huge pulpit.
But he won’t. And he doesn’t deserve this defence simply because he doesn’t have the votes.
Yup. A human turtle ground Obama’s ambitions to dust as Senate minority leader. They are definitely capable of more than they’re doing.
It’s not a matter of not having the votes, he literally has no official role in impeachment until the House passes it first.
He could say “Yes, lets impeach the fucker!” but it has no more weight than you or I saying it until the House passes it first.
Of course it has more weight! He’s Chuck Schumer. He could go on a bunch of news shows and say it. He has a platform. Politics isn’t just about voting and procedures. It’s about influence, persuasion and inspiration.
Hakeem Jeffries is House Minority leader, not Schumer.
I think you greatly overestimate what that power actually is. Most Americans know Sanders and AOC better than Schumer. Even if he has the name recognition and respect that some of the other party celebrities have, it would still be shouting into a void.
Being vocal isn’t going to cause Mike Johnson to suddenly put articles of impeachment up for a vote and there are not enough Republicans in the house that would force the issue.
The dems run their party from the inside. As the eldest crypt keeper Schumer has control of a cadre of dem reps who will vote for whatever he tells them to. He has enough of them that he can often single handily win or sabotage (mostly what he does) whatever the democrat party is doing.
Schumer’s political platform is Israel First so he and Trump have been getting along swimmingly this term. That is why he won’t use his leverage to get impeachment votes.
Even if impeachment made it through the House, I doubt the Senate would hold him accountable.
I’d also argue that most establishment Dems don’t actually support impeachment. They view it as divisive.
Personally, I’d want to divide myself from naked fascism…
OK as a non American I’ll take your word for that. But he still could have stated that if it reached the Senate, the Democrats would support it.
Well of course the Democrats are going to support it, just like they supported it the last two times Trump was impeached.
Coming from the opposition, that doesn’t mean much, like when the Republicans impeached Clinton over a blow job.
Bought and paid for by the goofy old phuckers (gop) just appeal to his sense of wrong.
I like how users here are making up some false reality in their head where Schumer somehow has the power to impeach as a Senator. I mean come on people, has he ever voted to convict Trump in the past? Would he even do it if he got the chance?
Whoops, I probably hurt someones antizionist feelings because of the facts.
Schumer is explicitly a hardcore zionist…
I’m not disagreeing with you on that. But the fact that a hardcore zionist has already voted to convict Trump in the past still stands.
See the use of “but” there implies a fallacy of some kind. Schumer kowtows to the party when they are unified. Which is rare. But he is and always has been an explicit tool of zionists. Your “facts” arent going to bother anyone. Are you a teenager or something?
LMAO, takes one to know one. Great argument, go join the MAGAs if you can’t contribute to the conversation with us adults.
You said, “Whoops, I probably hurt someones antizionist feelings because of the facts.” after not pointing out anything surprising or upsetting.
That is not how rational mature people talk to eachother… or think… but okay.
I love how you pretend that besides voting, representatives have nothing to do and no tools to do it with.
On a separate note, I’m surprised you havent been banned from the politics thread yet. You’ve been banned everywhere else havent you. Your comment stream is mostly you talking about various threads you’ve been banned from. Why do you suppose that keeps happening to you?
You: “I don’t like you because you said something true. Let me look at your history. You should be banned everywhere.”
Did I miss anything?
