    Dereliction of duty in such a high office is horrible.

    Moreover, enabling genocide is unacceptable.

    And this is what AIPAC Chuck Schumer will be remembered for.

        Haven’t you heard? Treason is acceptable now. You are allowed to commit treason if you have a solid, selfish reason for it. Selling out your country for a lot of money is at the top of the list of acceptable reasons for Treason.

    why are the needs of the citizens of another country more important than the needs of the citizens of his own country?

      The number AIPAC pays him actually doesn’t mean much because Schumer is so central to their operations that they would pay him literally whatever be needed to stay in power. 1.7M is just what it cost to keep him in power. They would gladly give him 20M if that’s what it took.

    Senile self-satisfied old fuck needs to be forcibly removed. But who knows who they’d actually replace him with because it’d probably be another pro-Israel democrat who thinks Amazon deserves more tax breaks and that ICE isn’t that bad.

    Of all the things, funding another fucking country that already has universal health care is absolutely NOT your fucking job, asshole.

    I’m sure many Israelis look over here at clueless marks funding them and their lifestyle of apartheid and murder and just laugh at us…

    Make Treason punishable by death again!

    Treason- The betrayal of allegiance toward one’s own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.

    Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.[1]

    Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death,[34][35] or not less than five years’ imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.[36]

    We should bring everyone on this list up on charges https://www.trackaipac.com/congress

    It is LONG past time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck and Jeffries to get the hook, and be dragged off stage.

    Then we can kick their asses in the alley out back, the fucking treasonous losers.

    Please go away and don’t stop leaving Chuck. You are worse than useless, you are malign.

      They get the quality of leader that as a collective they vote for.

      Since fuckall turn out for primaries and 60% for the main vote, Schumer reflects the vote in terms of quality and effort.

      When Americans start blaming themselves taking responsibility for where they are, they might fix it.

      Edits for clarity

        There is no one challenging anyone in power. You can’t blame the voters alone for not turning out to vote for, no one. The problem is not the electorate, it’s the system that is so corrupted that no one thinks they can make a difference and just surrenders it to them, even as surrendering it to them leaves us wide open to fascists seeking to put a permanent fix in.

        We need new leadership, inside and outside the party, and we don’t need new primaries for leadership outside the party. There is no time like the present. Until you bring that you cannot blame the voters as they don’t have any other options.

        I agree completely. We get the government we deserve, as a whole.

        Trump and fascism are not the seed, they are the fruit.
