Is he dead?

I've got a Google news alert set up for when Pelosi kicks off

🤣

What’s his gym routine, dropping the ball?

Would be great if he died and they just forgot to tell everyone

He found the strength to welcome war criminals though! bsky.app/profile/nkal...

I don't know what is so appealing to die in the office instead of spending one's last years with children and grandchildren. Unless you are a really old person, please don't tell me "they can do both", because you have no idea..

It's the money. That's why they stay.

So saddly true...

Democrats still following the Biden example...

It's the Ruth Bader Ginsburg problem. The ego supercedes all other rational thought. Power can be a drug.

I bet he still won't retire.

He needs to step down now

Oh don’t worry, he’ll get up right as rain to sabotage a socialist

Damn, now who will take comically large bags of loot from AIPAC to ensure Republican agendas are not interfered with?

This is on his FB page, posted 1 hour ago. Who knows who actually posted it. This YouTube was streamed 2 days ago. www.youtube.com/live/zkZQF7D...

God has the opportunity to do the funniest thing rn

Likely doing this with him. We really need people to step up and vote these fossils out in their primaries.

he looks old for 74

Does the Governor appoint his replacement?

Please please please please please please please please

Yea he's dead, they just don't want to tell us until the next big vote 🫤

He really gave ALL he had and wore himself out fighting to CHANGE THE NAME of the big beautiful bill! You UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS show him some goddamn RESPECT! 😂 😆 😂

So that’s why we don’t have him launching bigoted attacks at mamdani as Jeffries is doing.

Hard to talk with Netanyahu's boot in your mouth.

Don't make fun of the hero who saved public broadcasting *checks newspaper* fuck that guy

And now Tina Smith hospitalized DOWN WITH THE GERONTOCRACY

Tina Smith is only 67 years old - which is full retirement age in the United States. She is NOT seeking reelection. Compared to Sen Grassley who is 91 years old - old enough to be her father and is still in The Senate.

Agree! Totally! I gave up on The GOP side doing anything good, right. Or decent long time ago. I’m trying to save our side

Also, Smith is a better-than-average Dem. senator. MN's other senator, Klobuchar, is younger, but a complete sell-out.

Chuck Schumer looks like this and you want him to go on Meet The Press?

It could be that these fuckwits keep operating at 2:00 am?... U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 119th Congress - 1st Session

honestly I am shocked that he is only 74.

Honestly, this is better for the Dems. Man's poison.

I am still very confused as to why Schumer did not step down as Senate leader after the Nov 2024 defeat. You lose, you choose another leader. This "losers stay in charge" thing is devastating, and terrible political practice.

Because he's a power hungry fuck. These people do not have anyone's best interest at heart except for their own.

OK, but why on earth would the other Dems not challenge his leadership? He led them to loss, they need a new approach to win. They just don't care...which is why they *keep* voting for Trump's cabinet picks.

Essentially, typically the same reasons. Liberalism sides with capital 10 times out of 10. Liberalism likes Capital and when they think they're gonna make a buck... They go for the buck I have a lot of recommendations on people that have great breakdowns in my pinned comments on my profile.

The apartheid regime put a lot of money into getting him into that position, they sure as shit aren’t going to let their investment off the hook. The pathological rule of “seniority” within the dems only aids his retention.

Yeah exactly. They step aside in Europe but nobody does that here. Nobody even admits to failure.

Yes! I am from Europe. When a party loses an election the leader steps down, it's normal. In US it's like "OK, moving on..." Astonishing. Electoral loss should mean leadership change. How are you going to win again with the same approach?

Not the way with democrats for certain. Republicans used to be like that too but they scrapped it largely.

Your objectivity is refreshing mate.

Same in the UK, but honestly the US is the worst case of infection by a disease that is present everywhere.

In Europe you have multiple political parties, here we have an oligarchy that plays an intramural scrimmage with itself every so often.

It’s the same everywhere, look at the UK, multiple parties, same bullshit, then you have Germany where there is a pro genocide Green Party politician. The rot finds a way.

In hindsight yeah, UK Labour got what they wanted and decided what they wanted was to be hardcore right wingers.

Yeah, I’m literally watching an Owen jones video ref. the jettisoning of the numerous pledges labour made prior to election. If they had kept them it would be a dramatically different country. Corbin’s new party has tied with labour in a recent poll, reform are doing very well, but they are fascist

There is only one party in capitalist countries, the party of capital. Governments are dependent upon capitalists to continue to run the economy and must appease them

Can’t argue with that one bit.

True words

It’s all pantomime. They may “step away”, but it’s usually to a “consulting firm” that utilizes their contacts within government to generate revenue. In other words… corruption.

Because it was the voter's fault 100%> What else could they have done at all? /s

I’ve always thought this was the most obvious thing wrong with party - rewarding losers. They scoff at the notion that leaders should step down after a loss but then what even is their job? It’s like judging a coach on how much the players like them instead of you know, winning games.

By doing this they are admitting that winning is not the most important thing for them. Something else is. Very rotten.

I mean we just had Biden admit this during the election. The most important thing to them is maintaining the status quo, not shifting with the political winds, standing their ground against the left, & most importantly keeping the donors on board, win or lose.

Imagine having the means to retire to do whatever/nothing. But doing this instead…

Was he in the senate chamber last night?

He's getting an emergency cash infusion...

And this was just 3 days ago -- www.c-span.org/clip/us-sena...

Why so much hatred? Yes, he's old and he should've stepped down by now, but wishing him die, like he's up there with Trump?! I find myself blocking several responders here because some of it, to be honest, does smack of antisemitism, especially when he's somehow, wink, wink, linked with Netanyahu.

Netenyahu and the Israeli government are committed genocide daily, and Schumer wants to be sure he got a picture with him... that's disgusting groveling behavior & calling him out for it is not antisemitism. Also, Schumer lies down & LETS trump be a fascist so.. yes, he's up there with OJ shitler.

TAKE IT FROM US (U.S. JOURNALISTIC ORG) ANNOUNCE THIS! AS OF TODAY!

Why is this blow? They are old they need to go… we need young hungry blood that is not constrained to a long gone time where everyone worked together .. we need people to go for the GOP they are vulnerable.. their ideas suck.. not wishing him ill.. but it’s time for change…

It's a blow to the establishment, which deserves to be blown. ... wait...

He's been visiting the Baileys! Leave him alone!

Dems are going to run him until he dies.

Im sure you’re aware of this, but the fact that retired Senators are thrown off the cliff just to the left of the Senate steps may have something to do with his reticence

Here’s to that being true, as well as a wave of “early retirements”.

Just like in that movie Midschumerar.

Evil never dies

🤔

He’s gone to the land of wind and ghosts

“We will win” “we will win”. lol.

What the fuck is up with America and their geriatric politicians/ judges…. Is the system so messed up that people cannot acknowledge the fact that they have to step down so that younger, more capable people can take over???

He's taking summer vacation visiting the friends in his head.

not a Schumer fan, but this was on Tuesday

Listen, keeping your powder dry is hard work

Probably sad about his book tour

oh his brain is dead isn’t it

He posed for that photo with Netanyahu last week.

Was he suffering from exposure to truth and sunlight in the wake of Mamdani calling him out as a feckless weakling?

another one who needs to retire Nancy Pelosi, 85, has filed paperwork to run for Congress in 2026, although it remains uncertain if she will fully commit to a campaign. She has raised nearly $10 million for her campaign so far.

Chuckie probably can't be heard under his oxygen tent.

He's weak in character and just a game player with no discernable ideals outside of performative displays. I hate to be mercenary about this, but this may be the chance to get rid of an establishment democrat and get in an actual progressive if the governor can be led to pick one.

Hochul would choose herself.

Really? Ugh.

hopefully he's dead

defending israel takes a lot out of you

Mad that this is happening to the guy younger than the guy I want it to happen to the most.

Aw, he must have had a little too much fun in his gym shorts, peddling away on the stationary bike alongside his Republican besties.

They're realizing the Weekend at Bernie's thing is harder than it looks.

Ironically Bernie himself acts much more alive than Schumer ever did lmao

schumer going down would probably be a plus overall though he'd be replaced by an identical empty suit

God, please give his provider the strength to violate their professional ethics standards.

Praying bigley for a thing I can't say out loud

This is a safe space

They're going to replace him with someone who's as annoyingly "establishment" as he is.

Don’t worry guys, no matter what happens the Dems will find someone who can provide nominal resistance to fascism.

Ah yes, the 'Nominal Resistance' approach. Approved by "The Reasonable People's Front." Not to be confused with those jerks, "Front of The Reasonable Peoples!"

In this house we rage on behalf of the machine.

Oddly, the lyrics to 'Killing in the Name Of' are the same, but it's an angry Yacht Rock feel for rich tech bros.

These fuckers are giving the GOP more seats. Get better then, RETIRE from Congress, Chuck!

The democratic governor gets to name the replacement and the special election that follows is a safe democratic win, especially now with the republicans = pedophiles thing.

We can only hope. Although knowing Hochul, she'll replace him with a conservative centrist 90s era Dem.

He will be missed. By Republicans.

Waiting for the dems to unveil the AI Chatbot Schumer who will sit on the senate floor to argue in place of the infirm physical Chuck Schumer. It'll be able to cite precedents from past senate sessions and provide helpful dinner recommendations for whoever is looking for a quick bite in the DC area

Another corrupt corporatist Democrat posing as a liberal who long ago should have been voted out of office. Hope he is healthy and his days in the Senate are numbered.

I’m always surprised he’s only 74. that’s how old my mom is and he seems way older

Being pro genocide makes one age faster.

Karma perhaps? The weight of decades of guilt? Or maybe, just maybe, working in congress well past retirement age makes you age even more harshly

Eating too many raw burger patties with cheese on top.

Have you seen the video of his apartment? Explains a lot.

youtu.be/ODejBuFlY20?...

What in the world

Hope he dies

Losing popular support for your genocidal daddy has that effect…

Let it happen, dear god.

I hope this won't interfere with his book tour or prescient tweets to rebuke the Republicans

he did get that photo-op with netanyahu of course

establishment dems: well it seems chuck is okay, hopefully we're in the clear the reaper, looking at establishment dems' papery flesh and brittle bones:

Hopefully he's on death's door

The article starts by saying that zchuckie was light headed. As oppose to him having what?
