Fire @schumer.senate.gov now. You are useless.

I wonder if there is some kind of government body that could look into this. Maybe you know someone?

Have you considered writing a strongly worded message about it sir

You are the wrong person to be in ANY leadership position. Go resign and let someone who is not trying to negotiate with terrorist.

grind senate business to a halt then.

Should fire you now, too.

I want him gone too, just keep pushing the issue.

Resign your leadership position now.

Aren't you the guy who voted for Trump's budget so he could make all our lives hell? Eat shit collaborator.

Brother. Yourself and pretty much every democrat are culpable in all this shit. Fucking cowards.

Isn’t that your job?

Isn’t that your job?

Why aren't you sounding the alarm on the daily that this president openly intends to install a dictatorship? What could you possibly be waiting for? Nothing is more important. Step up, start organizing, or GET OUT

Why don't you write a strongly worded letter or something

Hol’ up there, Chief… You telling US to clean up the shitshow YOU created by standing there and holding the door for these clowns?!? They are YOUR legacy now. All the worst people possible show up and you tried to “keep it civil?” Well, here we are now. What are YOU going to do about it?

Maybe if braindead Americans had actually made him Chief 😗

Sometimes you get to be majority leader, other times not so much. In many ways, what you do as minority leader may be more important.

By all means elaborate 😗

Mitch McConnell laid more foundation for the party in the minority than otherwise. Vile as it all is, he was still effective in opposition, not hapless. He enjoyed the advantage of an opponent that believed in the norms, but the example stands.

Mitch McConnell is the role model now? 😗

When Joe Biden was President and McConnell was minority leader, Biden’s nominees got confirmed. Do you think there was a dirty trick to stop them that Mitch just refused to use? Is that what you believe?

YOU assholes created it by not voting for Democrats

Who assholes? Us who’ve reliably voted and contributed to campaigns, volunteered, and vocally supported Democrats? Is that who you’re referring to?

Yeah, YOU assholes who can't stop tearing down Democrats.

Heaven forbid people have expectations of the people they elect to represent them. No, such expectations are “tearing down” the people who sought that power…

Where do you live?

Colorado, where my senators have basically participated in the system like everything is normal. One of my senators doesn’t even answer his phone anymore and is all but unreachable. It doesn’t matter, tho, Schumer is the leader so he gets to hear from people outside NYS

These people represent YOU and your vote! Why are you bitching about people elected by voters on the other side of the fucking continent? Get off your ass and get better people elected where you are!

He’s the minority LEADER. And he, like 3/4 of the congressional Democrats, has acted like it’s just another day at the office, while the surveillance capitalists, crypto grifters, and Nazis have been given an insider pass to our government. It’s grossly insufficient. CAUSE TROUBLE. BREAK THINGS.

They have been working very hard. You don't appear to be serious with your "BREAK THINGS" crap.

They should represent me and my vote, precisely. That’s their job. So when they vote unanimously with Republicans, pass Trump nominees, and otherwise act like it’s business as usual I find that a bit, lacking. When they then flat out ignore their phones I find that irritating.

If I spent 10 months ignoring daily phone calls from my boss id have been fired. So why is it ok when the senators who *work for me* as my representative do it?

And it’s not like my local politicians are better. My governor spent weeks praising RFK and thanking Trump for the nomination.

Perfect example of Murc's Law. Also Marc little buddy, has anybody told you lately that you're an idiot?

First - show me ANY meaningful resistance he posed. His leadership is a failure. When voters saw a crisis, he just used it for more fundraising calls. Second, you assume a lot - and if you bother to check, it’s *not* a perfect example. I place blame where it’s deserved, not as a blanket.

When McLellan was overly cautious, and let Lee run wild, Lincoln had a choice: tell him “Good job, you’re our guy!” or “Get out there and fight, or I’ll find someone who will!” He chose the latter, sacked him and brought in Grant. The rest is history. If they can’t rise to the moment, get em out.

When they do well, and rise to the occasion, I praise them. I repost them, I endorse their efforts. I even call their offices and tell them I appreciate their work. So, no. Not a “perfect example” at all. That’s just you piling on without stopping to think.

And honestly, I’d expect someone with a solid Clash reference to not be an asshole. My mistake, I guess.

White voters created this shitshow, not Chuck Schumer, genius.

What part of normalizing isn’t clear? We lost the election, and we can’t fix that, but to politely acquiesce to their excesses and violations with nothing more than sternly-worded letters? Come on. What would John Lewis have said - and done?

Every single Democrat voted against RFK. They delayed the vote for as long as possible. You cannot filibuster a nomination. How is this Schumer's fault?

What exactly can he do with no majority

How about denying unanimous consent, straight out of the gate. NO approvals of cabinet appointments. And quit these Susan Collins-worthy “statements of concern”. That damned turtle from KY showed how much log jamming can be done, even to a popular program. Fight them, is what I’m saying.

Idk what all did the repubs push through during the Biden admin with no majority

Get arrested for us, walk into the fire for us

Hold public hearings, do a livestream every night, go on a hunger strike, stop voting for Trump's nominees, hold up proceedings, file a lawsuit on every grievance....

Go get arrested yourself. Fucking imbecile.

I wouldn't bother responding to them, I suspect they're a bot. Even if they are one made of flesh and blood.

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah; he’s not going to waste his final years in prison for a future he’ll never see Kinda the problem

Which is why we need an age cap. In my opinion not just on elected officials but also voters. 17 year olds are too uneducated to vote? Well so are 75+ year olds who won’t likely see the effects of their decisions

Senators used to beat each other with canes and have duels. Let’s fckn go

The same things McConnel did to stop the dems! And btw, you have a Pedophile as your pfp.

How much was Mitch McConnell able to do in the minority under Obama? A whole hell of a lot

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

It’s inspiring how little you know

Oof. It’s tough to fit this much stupidity into one post.

I didn’t even know where to start. So, I didn’t.

Stop spreading disinformation.

This right here. It’s got to be intentional.

I just spent the last 20 mins asking a group of supposed lawyers why their whole personalities revolve around attacking Democrats, but pretending to be Democrats. It went in circles and ended up with them being mad about Marco Rubio and just never joining the rest of us here in August. Bad people.

Yeah, I think they are phonies and are part of a psyop.

💯

It definitely is an op

Shut up, idiot.

If ‘I have no idea what I’m talking about but you can tell I’m mad because I am yelling!!’ was a political identity

You have no idea how this works, do you? Delete your post to spare yourself some embarrassment.

JFK is dead and the DNC has nothing to do with impeachment hearings. People like you are the reason there are instructions on shampoo.

HAHAHAHAH!!!!! Damn!!!!!

Well said.

I dunno. The poster mistyped JFK, but we know what they meant. The snarky insult was just that, and not like the more helpful response by another poster that explained why it wouldn’t work. These are democrats, too. They’re mad for fair reasons, even if they don’t fully understand the mechanics.

The other dude who came out slinging insults, I blocked, because that’s uncalled for. If people are mad because the leadership knew this was going to be bad, but then appears completely hapless and unprepared, that’s pretty understandable. But maybe let’s not dunk on one another here?

Perhaps you could have taken a moment, as I did, to look at the account who wrote the post to see that it had spammed that identical reply over 3 dozen times The typo was obvious, the misinformation wasn't If you don't like people being called out for posting misinformation, that's a you problem

He’s got standards. He’ll only drink real poo, not shampoo.

😂💀

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m not supposed to pour it down my throat?

Omg!

😂

If you’re white, you just let it run down your legs.

I'm holding out hope that the original post was some kind of absurdist joke.

🤣😂

This is not true. Privileged resolutions do not work that way. The house version of the rule only requires that the speaker consider whether or not the motion is privileged and if so, refer them to committee. It does not force a vote.

You’re ignorant. Or you just want an excuse to be maga, or both. Johnson isn’t bringing forward articles of impeachment.

Then Senate Majority Leader Thune will kill it. WTF do these people not understand? (Rhetorical question)

They have no understanding of politics on any level.

Everything, honey, everything.

Not even necessary. The absolute best outcome of a privileged resolution is it goes to Judiciary, where it's now up to [checks notes] this fucking guy whether or not it goes to a full vote. Spoiler alert: that's why Trump wanted Jordan to chair that committee.

Ugh even his congressional photo can’t hide that he’s a creepy piece of shit

Nope. And he's the worst kind of creepy shit: a creepy shit with POWER.

Don’t drink and type dude.

And while you're at it release the files

If only Congress would act! CC: Chuck Schumer

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

Impeach him. Chuck, it’s time for you to go. We need someone who does more than write strongly worded letters and posts. We need someone who will fight.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

What a stupid asshole. Whatever doofy intern is running this account should feel deep, deep shame for what they're enabling.

YOU ARE A FUCKING SENATOR ***YOU*** IMPEACH HIM DO YOUR JOB OR RESIGN!!!

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

That's not his job. I've never liked Chuck Schumer but he's preferable to all the "DO SOMETHING" idiots who refuse to learn how our government actually works.

It would start with the House, but Senators would be the ones to vote to convict/remove an official. They could be organizing between chambers, instead of yelling at *the public* to "DO SOMETHING".

Tell me exactly how Democrats in the House of Representatives can organize an impeachment of a Republican when the House is controlled by Republicans. Then tell me exactly how the Senate is going to vote to convict & remove a Republican, when the Senate is controlled by Republicans.

Oh well I guess there's no point doing or saying anything then 🤷‍♂️ Why don't you tell that to useless Scumer instead of me?

The Senate does not impeach. That's the House of Representatives the Senate just holds a trial and determines whether or not to convict and/or remove from office.

You're right. He's as powerless as the rest of us. It's still pathetic though. I doubt the GOP-ruled House will ever impeach any of the Trump admin officials.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

Democraps don't give a fuck. They only care about power like the Nazis.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support. Yeah I know it’s congress job

I'll get right on that.... Senator....

i'm sure they'll listen to you, the most useless person in america

You don't seem to know what to do with the power you have in the Senate, so maybe resign and give it to someone who does.

He knows. He's abdicated it to make money with the Nazis.

I think your more unpopular then RFK jr under some polls

Who, me??

fire yourself too.

When are you going to get Bobby jr removed?

Explain to me how the Repuglicans, when they had the minority, were able to block all of your party's efforts to pass and do anything, but you guys are currently unable to do that as well. Explain it to me like I'm a pedophile con man pretending to be President.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

Schmuck Schumer, along with all the other brainless imps in congress, are controlled opposition. They want what the repukes want, but if they say that no one will vote for them, so they put forth legislation knowing it'll be shot down to look like they do something while voting with the repukes.

Resign and let someone better take over. Now.

Retire bitch.

Fire yourself! Did you just wake up from your nap while Rome is burning? #NOTANOTHERDIMEUNTILSCHUMERISGONE

Amazing.

I get it, you’re too busy planning on how to roll over for the fascists again to do anything yourself.

Hold televised hearings now.

What are YOU doing about it?

Fire yourself, you fucking monster

you should get a gun and become a hero

What the fuck are you telling us for? That's supposed to be YOUR job you useless, vestigal tit.

impeach him coward

“This is bad. Someone else should do something about it” - Chuck Schumer

Like that will happen. Weeding out the sick is the plan.

What the hell are you even doing on this platform, man

Surely you could convince someone in the House to start impeachment proceedings.

Bruh. Retire. Establishment Democrats are ruining the nation alongside the GOP. We need a Working Class party. No stocks, dark money, AIPAC money, lobbyist money while in office. Senate/Congress salaries in line with minimum wage & no free healthcare for y’all unless the whole nation has it.

Chuck needs to be put on trial is guilty of crimes against humanity. Only accountability, deliberate the republic impunity has lead to fascism.

And with this, Chuck's work for the weekend is complete. We'll done Senator, you're really making a difference.

That's your fucking job, Chuck.

Please explain all the steps that Chuck will need to do to fire him. Explain like I'm five and haven't yet taken all those civics courses that I took.

1. Post online

Chuck still hasnt endorsed Zohran a very popular democrat. You think Chuck is up to the task?

Of only we knew someone in the senate not afraid to risk AIPAC funds and raise holy hell about RFK. Go back asleep pap pap.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

Do you know anyone with influence in the Senate?

Uh, you have better odds at getting this done than me. Fire yourself while you're at it.

You’re a senator, dawg. What do you expect me to do about it?

Do you think a Senator can fire a Cabinet Secretary?

Can the average voter do it?

Can a Senator? Answer the question. If you can't answer the question, then at least admit you don't know jack about civics.

Then why should we even vote for senators and pay for their salaries with our taxes? He ain't getting paid by the state to sell his shitty books.

I don't talk to Christians 😜. They are terrible human beings.

How would I, specifically, go about doing that? Because I happily would, I just didn’t know that I had that power.

Not gonna happen. That means the ball is in your court. What are you going to DO?

You voted to fund this insanity.

is that all you've got?

hey man aren't youa fucking senator?

thats sort of up to the felon-king. he does not care what we the people want no matter how many protest!

You have the power stance of a paper bag full of KY jelly, Chuck. Maybe you shouldn't have voted for the cloture that allowed him to become confirmed in the first place?

Chuck Schumer just posted that RFK Jr should be fired. Our far-leftists will use that as an opportunity to call for Chuck Schumer to be fired because they are RFK Jr supporters.

It's this loser again.

Get fucked, loser

Or it could be that RFK Jr needs to be fired for the sake of the US and Schumer needs to be fired for the sake of the Democratic Party. And I’m pretty sure you don’t need to be far-left to Schumer’s view on Israel-Gaza to be abhorrent.

There's no such thing as far leftists in America, skxawng.

And you! Bye, Felicia.

Chuck Schumer must retire already who's been in public office for 50 years already from New York State Representative (1975-1980), New York State Representative (1981-1999) & New York U.S. Senator (1999-) at 75 years old now. Chuck Schumer is related to Amy Schumer who were 2nd cousins once removed.

Chuck can write more stupid books and go on stupid book tours.

Just like Bernie.

Step aside Chuck and let someone else take over that will back their words with actions.

but chuck, are joe and eileen ok with this

Ok. This is a start

You don't deserve your job.

Night, night great-grand-papa.

So soon? You think it’s already time for *another* strongly worded letter?

🪙Two sides of the same credibility coin... bsky.app/profile/that...

How about it, Schumer: any ideas that you can act on? I mean, you’re a Senator and all.

Please state for us, exactly, what you think a Senator has the power to do when it comes to firing a Cabinet member?

You talking to Schumer or me? I mean, I’m just a random schmuck, and not the Senator who posted into the wind “Fire RFK jr now” I was kind of assuming he must have some sort of reasoning behind his otherwise pointless demand, since he _is_ a Senator and all. But then he is Chuck Schumer.

I'm talking to you. Answer the question.

Oh, come now. Don’t be ridiculous, or I’m going to start assuming you’re one of Putin’s boys in Liberal Drag.

I'm sure chuck wrote him a strongly worded letter😂

Great plan, thanks, grandpa.

says the coward

Have you done any town halls or done any interviews of late? Still made at the party base for ruining your book tour?

If only there were an opposition party with a leader of some sort who could do something besides uselessly tweet

Yes you fucking should, you doddering fool. Stop defending Israel and start defending the United States.

Tell us about tomato prices.

Know who has the power to get shit like that done is the Senate but oh no I bet the Baileys are frowning right now right? loser

The Baileys were at the capitol riot and hate their autistic grandkids but chuck still thinks he can get their vote

The Baileys did 9/11.

*back when they were known as the o'reilly's*

The Bailey's were on the grassy knoll.

Preferably out of a cannon.

Hear me out…have you written him a strongly worded letter yet?

Bro are you going to wake up and do something or do we need to hunt your fucking phylactery down and shatter it to release your necromancer soul so something interesting happens because this shit is boring and weak as fuck

Shit that's a lich I'm screwed in this dungeon

this is a D&D reference not a threat unless chuck schumer is a necromancer IRL and if that's the case then we have a problem and need some hobbits fast

Anyone else feel like we're the residents of Gotham watching this happen?

To quote @jesseberney.com : “you misspelled "I will be holding public hearings immediately on RFK Jr.'s mismanagement of HHS, & even though we do not have the…majority, these hearings will be televised live & Republicans are welcome to join if they care about Americans' health even a tiny bit"

Wait aren’t you the one who fires him

Yes, sir! I’ll call him right now!

"Hello? Wait what? I can't hear you. You're breaking up. What's that? That's just how he talks normally? You're kidding. He's still using 3G on Sprint mobile? How?"

Sure thing, Chuck. I’ll get right on that.

You are too old.

Who are you talking to?

Hey whose job is that

You're months behind here grandpa

Do something you absolute clown! It’s your job or did you forget that in between fund raising and book tours?

Jesus, the Gs from that non partisan statement must have near knocked you on your ass.

Have you tried stomping around loudly about it. Maybe grumble some under your breath and don’t forget to nudge your glasses up before putting your hands in your pockets.

Why don't you try DOING something about it?

The fuck are you talking about? You're the one with access, Chuck.

Damn do you know you can actually do that, dipshit

You can start proceedings and if they are dismissed, you can filibuster. Get to fucking work, jackass.

Yes, YOU should fire him. I get that you’re not the majority but figure it out. The majority of Americans agree. There are conservatives in the medical field who agree. Maybe one of those special int groups has sway. Or a corp donor. Or you need to shut it down. Point again is figure it out.

Are you and your staff just trolling us all at this point?

I suspect that's the case. Sadistic pricks, aren't they?

Isn't that one of the things you were elected for? Holding another branch of government accountable? Just do it, don't tweet about it going "golly goshems someone should do something about this."

Yes. Do that, chuck. Bring up articles of impeachment.

First of all he's in the United States Senate. It's the House of Representatives that brings up articles of impeachment on anyone. And secondly, the Nazis control the House of Representatives right now

F'in A, then get that done. And understand that Mamdani has more support than you do.

Maybe you could ask your Senator or Congressperson to take actions that make that happen.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

Fucking do something you useless lump

Chuck, you should write your senator.

And make it strongly worded.

Who you talking to, Chuck? None of us can do it.

Then do something you fuckin prick

hey buddy maybe you know someone in government you could talk to about that?

wtf is this. God yall are so fucking pathetic.

Everyone Including the imaginary family, you use as an excuse to do bullshit fucking hate you

Ummmm, you guys hired him.

Man if only someone with any power agreed!

Please step aside so the fighters can fight.

Resign, and make sure every consultant and media guru on your payroll never tries to help anyone ever again. You are fucking bad at this.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 relic.

Have The Baileys said anything about wishing Democratic leadership would do something?!

Nah they voted for the other guy

So...are you gonna do any thing to make this happen or is it gonna be another strongly worded letter?

How about this? If RFK Jr is not fired, fire Chuck Schumer

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

On it

Lol

If you and your fellow fossils are not getting daily assurance from the military that they will not support a coup you're not doing your job If you didn't set up a contingency before inauguration to prevent a dictatorship and self-coup you're criminally insane.

Shit I thought you were dead as we hadn’t heard from you in so long.

Hey, do you know anyone in Congress?

Chuck! We all hate you!! DO SOMETHING!!

Serious question: are you doing anything, besides spouting useless words, to protect us? Anything? Anything?

Please resign you feckless appeaser. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Your profound impotence is fucking pathetic.

Isn't that part of _your_ job, Senator?

You're a lot late on this!

Well, that was stern and forceful! I'm sure you followed up with a stern letter. GTFO now.

Sure I’ll get right on that

Okay I'll get right on it Chuck

You do it.

Please show us, specifically, where exactly in Article 1 of the Constitution, does it grant an individual Senator the power to fire a Cabinet member. 🙄

😂

Time for another "very strong letter," I'm guessing.

If only you were in the senate, then you could impeach him

Have you tried asking your imaginary friends, the Baileys, if they happen to know anyone in Congress who has the ability to put up an impeachment vote?

You could be calling for an impeachment vote??

sure thing my dude; I’m on it should I also organize the ostensible opposition party into mounting a strong and principled defense against the fascist sociopaths systematically dismantling the federal government like, while I’m up

If you could come in for a half day on Saturday, that'd be greeeeeeat. Mmmkay?

I've got a crazy idea, Senator. How about if you party started impeachment proceedings against him? The minority party does have the right to start gathering evidence against him.

They'd have to take control of Congress first. And flip enough seats in the Senate to convict without R votes or Fetterman.

I'm pretty sure they can start holding hearings on their own. They may not be able to get a conviction yet, but they can certainly put the evidence into the congressional record.

Wow holy shit…

That should do it, Chip. Great work.

Shut down the senate, coward

Have you considered calling your senator

Working up to sending himself a sternly worded letter

What power do you think he has to remove rfk

All of the power I mentioned in my post.

bsky.app/profile/jess...

It's amazing that when the Rs have any seats at all they can pretty much do whatever they want and the Dems are powerless to stop them, but being short of 1 seat of a majority the Dems lie about being just helpless and utter berks like you just accept it

what power does HE think WE have to do that?

Exactly this, thank you.

“The buck stops anywhere else”

Girl, who are you talking to?

are you asking us, or are you asking Joe and Eileen Bailey

Buddy have I got great news for you, someone who is capable of making that happen.

If only there were a Senator who could help

Out of a canon right into a brick wall. George Carlin

everytime I feel useless at my job I remember you're still senator

Impeach RFK Jr now.

It’s your job you stupid asshole, go do it

Me? Okay. Shit. Can you text me his number?

START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS!!

Sure Chuck. Make a charcuterie board now!

Man you’re really on top of shit huh

SO FUCKING FIRE HIM ALREADY

That would be awesome, when will you start making the rounds calling them out? A handful of your colleagues do, so please follow their example. # StrongerTogether

you should call your senator dude

What are you doing about it?

You have hands and live in driving distance, strangle his leather throat yourself

RFK already got to the empty headed dems in congress and spat some brainworms in them to make them even MORE complaint. Which I didn't think was fucking possible. It's like a sadistic game Schumer's playing at this point. "Some one do something about evil in gov't!" Signed, minority leader

Impeach him

Resign now!

I agree. And I implore you to vote AGAINST the budget in September. Do not give tRump an inch.

Impeach RFK Jr. now. Talk to the House of Reps because the White House ain't listening to you.l, Chuck.

Straight out of a catapult

He won’t, it’s his way of being a nasty prick! He knows he’s an incompetent imbecile, he’s just doing it to piss off his perceived enemies! He’s a sick fuck

I’ll get right on it. In the meantime, what are you doing?

Do something, coward.

Are you going to write a strongly worded letter?

That’s Hakeem Jeffries job.

God still sits on the throne 🤗

Your words are useless. DO SOMETHING!!

This is doing something. Man has not been equal to the moment but this is a step in the right direction and will help to get the ball rolling on this. Could be a bargaining chip on a govt shutdown as well

This is nothing. Yet it’s the most we can expect from him.

I think it’s slightly better than nothing, but yes, expectations are low

Bro

The bar is so low for Libs in America

I don't think he has done a good job and he has not met the bar. if this is a start of something different then maybe that could be a good thing?

He's done a great job.

lmao god you're pathetic man

I think the lives he's responsible for taking with his hyper-conservative agenda make him irredeemable and unworthy of power, and the existence of Trump does not negate that at all.

I don’t even know what his agenda is and that is bad enough! I think he is ineffective and that he should leave!

Least violent scenario; though arguably, completely expropriating everything he owns including land would bring a lot of needed relief to a lot of his poor constituents, and he could live the rest of his life basking in the glory of a man who loved the people

Nicely written Mr. Duck poop administrator 😂

Ly

Nah man we’re past this kinda shit for it to even count as partial credit.

Demanding a firing of RFK Jr is the only option we have. America’s public health is literally an ongoing disaster and may be a wreck if he isn’t stopped

oh is this a demand? where's the "or else"

In the hands of non voters who stripped our power

You can't hold your leaders responsible so instead you turn on the people

fixed that for you

Rapist PFP spotted.

He's actually not a step in the right direction. He's actively not taking any steps. He's useless.

I don’t agree. He has been ineffective and I really want for him to be effective. He has never asked for a resignation much less ask for someone to be fired. I thought this was a good thing for him to skeet!

You're easily impressed.

Not really. I think he sucks overall. This was pretty good though

Maybe try not responding like a bot. It adds to the believability of the whole thing.

I have no idea what this means

He's posting. I'm posting. We're both accomplishing the same thing. I'm literally exactly as effective as Chuck here. He should stop posting and *do* something.

It's a Bluesky post

Mr Trump fire him immediately or the posts will continue

holy fuck you're dumber than dogshit

Oh yeah... a sternly worded post. That'll scare das führer.

Imagine having a negative IQ low enough to defend Schumer. Are you one of his imaginary Bailey family members? We need to primary him and get someone with actual balls in the office. Maybe then we can get some actual progressive shit done.

I think primarying him is the right idea! Not a fan of the dude and I believe he is ineffectual. I thought he took a tiny step towards doing something and I said so 🤷‍♂️

You mean like the time when he explicitly did NOT shut down the government when he had the chance? Do not put money on Schumer shutting down the government. He doesn't have it in him and never will.

Not counting on anything but it would be awesome if he pulled it off this time. Not holding my breath though

Please tell me this is satire.

Yes, his post on Bluesky will save society

never said anything remotely close to this. it is better than anything else he has been doing and i want him to do more because his response has been sorely lacking

It's not "doing something" Raise your standards

i’m sure this would do something if politics worked like the west wing

Empty platitudes and worthless statements are something to you huh?

Posting is not doing something

ha ha, no.

He’s literally been posting empty threats and meaningless platitudes since Trump got elected. This isn’t doing anything. Nothing of consequence will come from him shouting TRUMP BAD and posting. He needs to stop invoking unanimous consent and start using resources outside Capitol procedure

This isn't shouting "Trump Bad" which he has been doing! This is "fire somebody" which he hasn't been saying. This will get more traction compared to his previous platitudes. Like I said and read elsewhere, this could also be a bargaining chip when it comes to the potential govt shutdown in oct

bsky.app/profile/schu... He did it literally yesterday and doesn't offer any bargaining chip.

I posted this yesterday when he did it.

So his bargaining chip is demanding what he didn't get again later?

I am not sure what this means. I have very little confidence in Schumer. I thought this was a different tone from the other things he has done and I think something like this is a baseline for what he can do

What can he do? I don't really see much strategy in this other than being... Blunter? I understand using small words is how one NEEDS to speak to Trump, but that doesn't mean Trump will listen, that's the core issue.

He won’t listen and being in the minority, there is little can do, but it’s better than posting about eggs. Go back and look at his older posts. You can’t tell me that this one stands out differently. It’s sad, but it’s true. He can be more aggressive and hopefully this is the beginning of something

You think demanding that the President fire someone... Isn't a platitude? What's he gonna do if Trump doesn't do it and continues not listening to what Chuck Schumer thinks?

Oh wow, he's SAYING SOMETHING? how brave of him

He could bring forward articles of impeachment. He isn't. He's still doing nothing.

He can’t because he is in the Senate. But I agree with you. He definitely needs to do more! I thought this was a step in the right direction.

Fair point - though if Schumer wanted Jeffries to do it, it'd be done.

Ha ha! I was actually on the opposite side of this argument when criticizing a Jefferies post a few weeks back. I was arguing that he needed to bring articles of impeachment for and others were telling me it was pointless

They're both so wrong for this moment it's actually surprising that's who we have. As a New Yorker, I'm definitely ashamed.

No need to feel ashamed. I’m from Ohio originally 🤣😭

Trump's already been impeached and he was just re-inaugurated back in January. I'm starting to suspect that impeachment may not actually be a useful contingency in practice.

Are you new here? Schumer isn’t going to do anything silly! He writes letters and posts. That’s it.

No, this isn't "doing something." Doing something would be saying "I and the rest of the Democrats will grind the Senate to a halt until RFK Jr. is fired," or "no Democrats will vote for a funding bill until RFK Jr. is fired." There's nothing actionable in what Schumer said. There's no threat...

or promise. How, in any way, is this "doing something" especially coming from someone who's already both been played by the GOP and stabbed us all in the back at the behest of the voices in his head he says are his constituents?

Bargaining chip? So we're bargaining for our lives now?

yup! it sue seems like it!

At what point in this slow motion car wreck has the Democratic Party proven that it has some kind of strategy?

They haven’t

It’s as meaningful as the letters he writes. It puts words into a record. Who cares about the record? Not Trump Our standards shouldn’t be so low for folks who are supposed to be leading the charge against fascism, particularly when these same leaders are accepting $$$ and influence from Wall St

i just think this is a stronger statement compared to his previous ones. it is asking for something concrete and it continues to focus the spotlight on a bad dude that is struggling right now. you and i agree that his inaction has been detrimental, but i think this step could have legs.

i have been yelling at him about his lack of action as well, but i think this is different and i want to encourage more steps like this.

The courts care. The voters care. Just because you insist on nihilism doesn’t mean every action can’t up to the pushback we need.

The courts care? Lol It’s our leaders job to present policy and a platform to give voters something to care about. I don’t insist on nihilism. I insist on being proactive and eradicating useless neoliberals from our party leadership so we can actually have a center-left party.

[sarcasm]Ah, yes. Because no American regime has been more respectful of its judiciary system than Donald J. Trump's.[/sarcasm]

(The majority of which, are wealthy Republicans looking to hoard more wealth)

Who did you vote for last year?

The purist police continuing to just ask questions

Harris

Man they dipped real quick when their preconceived idea was wrong

Rebecca Lynn buncha numbers

There are Harris voters who hate the Democratic party because y'all are tragically impotent and anti-working class.

you are such a fucking bootlicking loser

This is “thoughts and prayers” kind of action

Shut the fuck up, dumbass

Good point. I hope so.

Traction with...?

They sign off on everything the Republicans want and do every single time. This is to make YOU think this is doing something. And it apparently works.

No they don’t. There was just an article in the WSJ about the record number of federal judges that have been blocked. That being said, not a Schumer fan. He’s really been ineffective and meek. Thought his post showed something he hasn’t yet

Can you give an example of where they have held out instead of capitulating in their words “to avoid a govt shutdown”?

Don’t have one. The one opportunity they had they caved. This is their next opportunity. Hope it goes differently

your standards are so low that i almost tripped over it walking into this thread

The lowest

yeah, sadly this is a step up for him. better than what he's been doing.

Has schumer made a statement to that effect? End of sept is when a budget deal is needed. They're starting negotiations right now

Schumer is already slow-rolling confirmations - GOP Senators have complained about this - and I have no idea what 'resources outside Capitol procedure' is supposed to mean.

He invokes unanimous consent regularly. Of course you don’t know because there hasn’t been a crisis worth exiting the procedures of the Capitol to leverage oligarchs and tyrants since last century. Folks like Schumer are too constrained by their donors to do anything out of the ordinary - boycotts

And define 'regularly'.

Regular business in the Senate runs through unanimous consent as opposed to historic procedure because Senators want it to move quickly without debate. It's a cop out.

If Dems try and blanket block unanimous consent, Senate Republicans will ditch it. Maybe that's no bad thing, but it does mean that it's not a tactic that can be used unrestrictedly.

So make them do it

“democrats cant use this procedural rule to block republicans bc then the republicans will get rid of the rule” so make them get rid of it. make them muck around with procedural rules. it will slow things down even more.

This argument is used to block Democratic action ad nauseam It's time to stop playing by a rulebook that the other side does not follow. We have vast disagreements about the direction of our party. You are full of "you can't do that's"...that's not a country I want to live in. Have a nice night!

How is boycotting Senate sessions going to help?

Boycotting R donor products Party endorsed protest Showing up to R events And I'm not even in leadership!

Not with that attitude shitlib 😂

Republicans don't give a shit about protests, and 'showing up to R events' isn't going to do anything to disrupt Congressional Rs. Boycotts can be judged on a case-by-case basis, but they're unlikely to shift donor behaviour as long as Dems are out of power.

I guess we wont engage in historical methods to leverage oligarchs and allow our democracy to irreparably destroyed by said oligarchs because...folks who voted for them dont care? Give me a break. The Ds needs to stand for something more than keeping their head down while the executive usurps power

The Dems can only do so much when the Republican Party has a majority. That's democracy. There's no "one weird trick" to undo or nullify the results of last year's elections.

It's not even Schumer saying to post it, it's some political staffer and their social media person. He has no idea it's even being posted. Let alone doing anything.

Then that same energy should be shown to his much more temp post that he makes on a regular basis. People were tearing him apart for all of his price of egg post and rightfully so but people were pointing out that was his aid as well.

Yes that additional degree of separation should add to the concern and urgency of replacing one of our leaders against fascism.

What exactly should he do?

Endorse protests and boycotts against R donors. Show up to R events and call out hypocrisy. Rally around a new Democratic platform that helps shed their out-of-touch image, including literal rallies.

He definitely should do those things! He should have already been doing those things! He has been very far away from doing those things! I hope this is a step in the right direction

Here’s the thing Even if this is a very slight move in the right direction, the politician that is Chuck Schumer makes that moot He’s bought by Wall St He clings to decorum to a detriment He wont push the envelope to help working people He protects bought incumbents He’s a spineless neoliberal

And most recently, is showing the world that he has nothing new to resist the executive usurping power from the other branches of government m. I won’t be optimistic about a “leader” who regularly shows us where his priorities lie and his speeches continue to get worse

I am definitely not optimistic that he is going to rise to the challenge either. I wish you would, and I thought this was at least a step in the right direction.

If he says “bipartisan” one more time I will PERSONALLY ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ (redacted.)

Lmao

You think posting that on BlueSky is doing something? Why do libs glaze these cynical mfers over the most surface bits of nothing?

Not really glazing him. I think he’s been tremendously ineffectual. I thought it was a good skeet though and said so.

It’s on BlueSky so it’s actually less than nothing. Also, “skeet”??? What do you think that means?

Gotcha. I know they say “skeet” over here instead of tweet. I also know the other definition.

Well I don’t think I’ll be using that one. Almost sounds like a prank.

Nah. @rose.bsky.team can verify

@rose.bsky.team is “skeet” a thing on here or is this an amazing prank? I’ll take my answer off the air.

Schumer says stuff like this all the time and the only that happens is his reader glasses fall off and he forgets what he said while trying to find them

The bargaining chip is a simple NOPE

you could be right but i hope you are wrong

skeeting is not doing something, you and i are not doing anything, no one here is doing anything

the guy hasn’t and won’t do shit dude

chuck skeeting through it

Do you think the Republican fascists care about sternly worded letters?

Nope.

You’re not a real person no one with a sense of self preservation would eat this much shit and ask for more

Nah. I’m real. I think it would be different if I actually liked Schumer or thought he was doing a good job but I don’t. I just thought he was doing something with this one and he had actually gone further than he had before. All I was saying

Any single one of us can make a skeet on Bluesky, dude. We elect these people to do OTHER things that we cannot. His consituents are probably pissed like the rest of us.

Trust me it’s not doing anything

Hope those dark money checks feel good!

It's literally doing nothing. Because he's a corpo Dem who only cares about $$$

A lot more than he has done before

No, it isn't. It's literally the same thing he's always done; nothing.

He never called for the resignation much less the firing of any cabinet member throughout the second term. Also,there was just an oped in the wsj about how there were a record amount of judicial openings because of of the senate dems. I’m not a huge fan, but it is wrong to say they are doing nothing

First of all I didn't say THEY are doing nothing. I said HE is doing nothing. And secondly it's actually not wrong to say that they are doing nothing. It's actually spot on.

I meant he. He is the leader and controls that. Also, I agree, he still sucks pretty bad

Literally the only thing that Senate Democrats are doing is posting on social media or sending strongly worded letters that don't amount to a hill of fucking beans. Letters that are likely not even fucking read

I just shared that they are also stalling judicial appts at a record pace

He has as much power here as you, Eleanor.

Awww establishment Dems standing up for AIPAC recipients. So cute and ineffectual.

This is about as much power as he has thanks to white people.

What do you propose he doesn't the United States is fucked, you voted yourselves into oblivion, good luck.

What, exactly, should he do? The Nazis control both houses of Congress, all he CAN do is address the public. Please read up on how a representative democracy works before commenting on representative democracy.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

What would you like him to do, Eleanor? Please, be specific. Otherwise your words are useless.

Fucking exhausting .. 847 likes from people who have never taken a civics class .. 🙄

So sorry you’re exhausted, maybe that’s Schumer’s problem too, he is ancient after all. What I’ve learned from US history classes is that you fight back no matter how bleak the chances seem!

Laughable not one leftist ever calls for saint Bernard to retire cause he’s old and never actually accomplishes anything. I didn’t see him throw his UC priv @ .. White voters were asked to fight back before November 5. White Voters Chose GOP John Thune as Senate Majority Leader.

Well it’s not about age it’s about being useless.

Actually you brought up age. I said Saint Bernard had no accomplishments ..

Is that a penis? Old people can be with it and old people can be not with it. I wasn’t speaking about all old people. And now I’ve realized I’m debating with someone on social media, I’m gonna go hug a tree now.

bsky.app/profile/liz....

Your exhortation to do something is USELESS because you didn't solve the real problem of what and how.

What would you like him to do as the MINORITY leader ?

stop rubber stamping trump appointees to posts

Retire would be a good start.

That I agree with :)

Maybe not leave himself open to hate by posting nonsense. Who is he talking to on social media who's supposed to fire RFK?

If he didn't post something, people would be yelling at him about that. Christ, take a day off from bashing one of the 2 guys in the most thankless positions in the US.

To people who agree with him and want to see that he acknowledges the problem? Never heard of a pep talk?

bsky.app/profile/jess...

Write a stern letter Chuck. Maybe your buddy Hakeem could help. We need a leader and a fighter! Youre NEITHER!! Resign Chuck!

Not only could congress of prevented this by not voting him into an office he's blatantly unqualified to be running in the first place, but you could literally just drag him back *into* congress and put in a lot more effort to boot him out then posting on Bluesky? 🤦‍♂️

I appreciate the simple, straightforward demand. Now the entire Democratic delegation should demand resignation on the floor of the Senate and the House.

One does not need to compliment Chuck for a weakass observation that is months too late.

Couldn’t ya‘ll have like, not voted to confirm him in the first place?

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN CALL FOR IMPEACHING HIM! GET MCCONNELL, CASSIDY, MURKOWSKI ON YOUR SIDE.

Impeachment doesn't start in the senate my guy

He still wields far, far more influence and power with House leaders than anyone he could possibly addressing with this post, my guy.

The House impeaches, not the Senate.

Just get them on your side bro. Just get the other party in the senate on your side to call for impeachment. Lol.

McConnell voted against RFKjr’s confirmation. Cassidy wavered on his vote, and recently has said critical. Murkowski was undecided close to the confirmation vote (but yes, is Murkowski). Bro.

Wavering is a strong push against Trump, we can do this 😎

McConnell is retiring. He won't be able to do anything on impeachment in 2027. Assuming he even remembers he'll be a private citizen

CALL YOUR SENATOR AND DEMAND THIS!

Isn't that YOUR job?

Are you seriously backing 77 year old ME Gov Mills for a run at Collins seat?

You see, Chuck, now's a little late. Mitch showed you how to do the job you're in now, but I don't think you have it in you. Have you considered resigning in favor of a hard nosed SOB at the top? Lots and lots of Democratic voters are thinking about that.

Is that your strongly worded letter?

Great idea but I don’t know anybody that has the kind of institutional power you need to to get that ball rolling. Do you know anybody who does??

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

Chuck, you’re a senate leader. We are randoms on blue sky. One of has actual power and ability to affect consequences; the rest of us don’t.

Stop tweeting like you're one of us, do you job, get off your ass and actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!!

what do you expect me to do about it i’m not the elected official loser

Oooooh, whatchoo gonna do, Gurl? Write another useless "strongly-worded letter" to a guy who can't read?

Write a strongly worded letter

Please voice your opposition to RFK Jr in a way that cspan would cover over an extended period during prime time. thank you.

Demand Impeachment hearings now!!! Let’s flip this shit. Democrats have the power to call & start JFK impeachment hearing using a privileged resolution. Debate and talk about the damage & the outcomes of these things. DNC you don’t do this I’ll be looking for another party to support.

THAT'S YOUR FUCKING JOB

No, you.

You're the fuckin' senator. Why are you telling us? Do something about it or shut the fuck up.

Hey hoss, guess what...

oh is it my decision?
