Chuck Schumer Believes Americans Are Really, Really Stupid
[REDSTATE] It’s impossible to comprehend just how insulting Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 46.08475 years, or 322.59325 years in dog years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
’s threat of nuking the filibuster actually was when he initially made it on Monday afternoon.
Yes, everyone outside the beltway bubble is a moron.
By Tuesday, he was doubling down. If Republicans weren’t on board with the voting rights act, he was totally going to do it. He was also encouraging his own members to put pressure on...his own members — Joe Manchin
...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents...
and Kyrsten Sinema
...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona....
. He needed party unity in order to force the Republicans’ hand on the issue.

But... by Tuesday afternoon, he was walking it all back.

Schumer’s fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
rhetoric does not even remotely match the reality all around him. He can’t threaten the Republicans with something when he doesn’t even have all the Democratic votes to make it happen. But this isn’t new, either. We knew going in that Manchin and Sinema were openly opposed to it. We have also heard reports of other Democrats who are quietly opposed to it. None of it is breaking news. It’s been the case since the 2020 election.

But Schumer believes two things: The first is that Americans are really, really stupid and will buy into the idea that it’s Republicans holding this up. Any brief amount of research shows you that is absolutely not the case, and the Americans who are paying any sort of attention have seen enough news reports to know that Manchin and Sinema are holding things up for the Democrats and President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....
’s agenda.

#1 Well, he can't be wrong all the time can he?

#2 I've said this a few times already - I'm glad this putz Schumer is the Dem Senate leader and not the dearly departed unrepentant, ruthless asshole Harry Reid.

#3 How soon will Schumer be able to join Reid's canasta game ?

#4 The honourable senior senator from the state of New York appears to be in rude good health, Besoeker, despite his advancing age. Though a light hand with hair dye, fake tan, botox, fillers, and a really good tailor certainly help after 71 years circling the sun.

#5 The biggest reason, as I see it, is that Schumer is a lying weasel. At some point everybody wants "Cash in hand, No promises, no IOUs" when dealing with this putz -- makes it hard to cut deals, ehh?

#6 Dems headed for retirement (not running in the upcoming election), obviously means they will not be held hostage to Pelosi's money or arm twisting. Hey, kick me off the committee. I'll still be drawing full congressional salary and can spend more time searching for my 'job after.'

#7 Think about the people he usually interacts with -- politicians and the press.

#9 Chuck's right--at least 45% of this country voted for President vegetable.

#10 Schumer wouldn't have ever been elected if New York voters were just a little bit smarter. One could argue there's a difference between being stupid and being misinformed. But, when New York voters allow themselves to be misinformed over and over again, it points to stupid.

#11 Maybe NY voters did not really elect Schumer but instead somewhere far back in time he was installed in a another Dem-rigged election.
