    Typical Republican. Doesn’t have the courage to face down the people he fucks over.

    Don’t tell me he’s not a Republican. It doesn’t matter what he claims to be. His purpose is what he does, and he serves the oligarchs.

    The lie is that we have a two-party system. We have the same illusion of choice with elected officials as our choice of groceries. Lots of different options, all owned by the same corporate interests.

    We don’t want to threaten him, we want to tell him to fuck off into retirement. Threats just make politicians go turtle.

      I don’t know about that, think about what Schumer would be willing to do for the donors who laundered their normal bribes to him by picking up a couple dozen copies and getting him up the bestseller lists

    How do these people have time to write books when they are supposedly running a superpower?

      For what it’s worth, almost all of them are ghost written. They tell someone some stories and sometimes what they want the narrative framing/arc to be and then never think about it again. I bet plenty of people have never even read their own books.
