Ethics lawyers say the raid violated the Hatch Act. The Democratic Senate minority leader has been silent.

    So, are you going to do everything possible to depose him? Or will you keep throwing a tantrum, refuse to vote, and let the regressives steamroll more?

    Maybe he has the same minor condition like Mitch McConnell. Must be awesome to have all these ‘experienced’ people still in congress without any term limits. Surely does not stand in the way of progress because they fully comprehend the modern world.

    To be fair, Trump is intentionally doing this at this time to try to distract from the high gas prices, grocery prices, etc, his war caused. Immigration is, sadly, the thing he polls the best on, especially in red states. Republicans are desperately defending senate seats in red states like Texas, Alaska, Nebraska, and more. The more we talk about immigration, the less gas prices will be on past Republican voters minds, the more likely they will be to go out and vote for Republicans.

    Schumer would love to have Democrats or Independents that caucus with Democrats in states like Texas, Alaska and Nebraska. Remember it will be 6 years before they are up for election again, that’s a long time to have these seats. This also may be a once and a lifetime chance for Democrats to get seats in states like these, unless Trump is stupid enough to keep the Iran War going through another couple of election cycles.

    This is like the 2006 midterms under Bush. 2006 flipped a bunch of Senate seats, then 2008 flipped even more, and the Democrats ended up with 59 seats, and a Republican flipped to give Democrats 60 which enabled them to override the filibuster without completely ending the filibuster.

        For sure, and don’t get me wrong, this is meant as a condemnation of Schumer, not praise for Greene.

          I wouldn’t believe him if he said he stands in support of Omar, but he doesn’t even care enough to lie like Marge did. Schumer isn’t even pretending to give a shit about anything that isn’t Israel. There’s no veil anymore. These old fucks are too lazy to even play politics in their job as a politician.

            I think Schumer knows he’s a dead man walking. He won’t be reelected in '28, and he won’t be Majority Leader if they take back the Senate. Jefferies (unfortunately) has a shot of hanging in; he’s just as weak and feckless as Schumer, but he kept his caucus together on the shutdown, while Schumer caved. That’s why even normie centrist Democrats want him out, and why he can’t even be bothered to pretend he’s a political leader anymore.

    Why would Israel’s controlled opposition in their colonial-occupational government openly oppose the deportation of his enemy? Of course he is rejoicing with his fellow Epsteinite-unipartymen, raping children and drinking their blood on some new private island.

    Chuck is as much an enemy of the people as Trump, but more insidious than outright evil, by presenting himself as an ally to and leader of the left-wing. He’s nothing more than a bulwark for the Zionazis and a concierge to the other powerbrokers.
