Apparently there is a protest outside Schumers building

[orangecrush]

Posters on the thread claim Schumers answering service has been turned off.

A friend in the neighborhood just sent me a picture from in front of Schumer’s building.
(I’d join them if I didn’t have a soup to attend to right now!!)

1. Pretty much not taking any protests at face value anymore.

Have no idea who's being paid to show up and cause trouble.

[orangecrush]

2. Uh huh.

I'd join them if I could.

[wackadoo wabbit]

24. Me, too! Definitely!

Or maybe we're just supposed to sit back and watch our republic turn into a fascist state?

[bigtree]

27. you can join them right now, in your imagination

...because there's absolutely no proof that this is even happening.

Much less the validity of some rando poster with a pic they say someone sent them.

Where's even ONE other report of this?

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. This is how they distort reality.

[bigtree]

33. it definitely has all the hallmarks of disinformation

...and I've complained repeatedly to the poster about verifying it.

It's exasperating enough having to fend off republican disinfo. It shouldn't be this hard to verify an attack on Democrats here.

They need to either verify it, or take it down.

[Skittles]

38. so - you think there isn't real anger and disgust out there?

[Wingus Dingus]

52. There's certainly justifiable anger, I just think this one is a bit weird.

And I'm definitely suspicious of protests that shut down highways, result in looting and have people waving foreign flags.

[Skittles]

56. so....that is happening here?

and repukes, they end up shooting people

[allegorical oracle]

75. Was disappointed that he became majority leader again. Listening to the addresses he's made,

he appears past his prime. Get the feeling we Dems are taking a spatula to a machine-gun massacre.

[Skittles]

78. a LOT of them are past their prime

but we get accused of AGEISM if you point that out

[NotHardly]

53. oLD MAN DITHERING ENERGy

I am so tired of this stupid shit.

[Frasier Balzov]

3. His constituents must think he's showing weakness.

Republicans are no doubt loving this.

[orangecrush]

7. Think?

[Skittles]

39. Putin too

yup

[tritsofme]

4. What a bunch of fucking morons. Protest Trump and Republicans.

[Autumn]

9. There have been protests against those bastards. Perhaps our dem leaders

whould care to put on some comfortable shoes and join their voters?

[Butterflylady]

14. What good is that....

Going to but get arrested and the media will portray democrats as trouble makers.

I agree with them.

[totodeinhere]

32. There are legitimate concerns about Senator Schumer. He has been much too cozy with the Republicans.

Yes I know the Senate is traditionally a club. But those days are over. He needs to show more fight. We are in some very tough times right now and Chuck needs to step up.

[electric_blue68]

57. As a NYC'r I Have been E Mailing him to show More Passion Against Policies targeting our Vunerable groups of people!

[JohnSJ]

61. Exactly. One wonders if they are even aware of who has the majority in both Houses of Congress? One wonders if these

are the same protesters who refused to vote for Harris and helped usher the sociopath into the WH for a second term.

Wonder where those Abandon Harris groupies are.

I am really getting tired of stupid people.

[Autumn]

6. What the fuck Chuck is right.

No reason to not throw a wrench into the republican macherery.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. It's an excellent question. They never even tried to hide their agenda, wtaf were we doing

In the way of planning for this if we lost? We knew it was possible to lose, dog knows we’ve seen plenty of that lately. They had rooms full of miscreants with law degrees planning this shit. WHAT WERE WE DOING?

[electric_blue68]

10. So the sign on the left says...

"Keep your war mongering hands off my family's obamacare"
.what the heck?

Not quite a "mixed metaphor", but what has one to do with the other?

He's my Senator, and I've been e mailing him on issues but also to show some passion about what's happening!

[orangecrush]

11. I believe

The background sign references Trump.

[electric_blue68]

18. Ah, TY... well that would make sense...but showing that at a protest against Schumer....

They should have put "TRUMP" as the top word/line
Otherwise it's vaguely directed, imho.
[or maybe it's at the bottom in a different color you can't see?]

I've made signs for protesting in the past.

[orangecrush]

19. I hear you

[electric_blue68]

22. 👍

[Cha]

28. Exactly... why have a sign for MUMP at Sen Schumer's "protest:"?

[BlueSpot]

50. They are asking/telling a revenge oriented administration

Not to fuck with their healthcare.

You really couldn't figure that out?

[electric_blue68]

58. HEY, DON'T You INSULT Me! I can SEE what they're saying.

"They are asking/telling a revenge oriented administration Not to fuck with their healthcare."

THIS is supposedly a Schumer protest, not a Trump protest!

If they wanted to be clear - use a bit over all smaller letters; asd right at the top - something like "Chuck, TELL Trump... then the rest of the sign's message.

[Blue Owl]

12. What The Fuck Chuck?

Perfect.

[orangecrush]

13. WTAFC?!!!

[valleyrogue]

15. Really smart. Cut your nose off to spite your face.

Go to Thune and all the rest of the GOP, and I might support it.

[stillcool]

17. He is their Senator

they don't need your support.

[bigtree]

36. you sure about that?

...how do you know who the fuck those people actually are, or where they are?

[stillcool]

49. you're right...I'm not sure

but the tone of the signs, and the fact they're in NY, I went with it. I saw something today, not sure if it's true or not, but it was saying that Chuck made a deal with the GOP to fast-track nominations. I can't imagine what he would get in such a deal, but it left me feeling queasy. I've always been neutral about the guy. No one is perfect, and the guy is old school. Watching Mitch over the years, makes me wonder. If nothing else, it seems like he's not up for the moment. I can understand how a loyal constituent could be upset by his distance.

oh my God! You're absolutely right there is no story. Boy, do I feel like a total asshole. Thanks for making me look!!

[Scrivener7]

47. How is asking a leader to lead cutting off

your nose?

[stillcool]

16. He should have answered the phone

[bigtree]

20. idiot protestors can't find the courage to confront republicans

...the people actually in charge and making the decisions that affect their lives.

More stupid shit...

I wouldn't be surprised if this was organized by republicans. Why is that one sign complaining about 'wandering hands' and Obamacare?

What the goddamn hell is this you've posted?

[bigtree]

23. I call bullshit on this post. There's nothing confirming or coorborating this

...just some rando tweet that says someone sent them a picture.

Why is this bullshit allowed here?

[bigtree]

29. where's something confirming this rando post?

...this isn't being reported ANYWHERE other than that link.

Not on twitter, and not on any news search.

Yet, you've brought this unverified attack on our Democratic leader here to a Democratic advocacy board.

Wtf?

[Autumn]

26. You think Democrats protesting republicans will do shit?

Have I got a cheap bridge for you.

[LeftInTX]

67. Didn't I hear that about the Gaza protesters?

[Autumn]

70. What does Gaza have to do with protesting fucking republicans?

Let me see. Nothing.

[GreenWave]

77. How Putin manipulates masses: Left in form, Right in essence.

e.g. save Ukraine from the Nazis.

You got an analogy above.

[OAITW r.2.0]

35. They own all the media now. Who to believe?

[JohnSJ]

62. I agree. The reported protests in LA were direct against trump and his thugs who are the ones that are implementing

this destruction against our republic.

Excellent observation bigtree.

[BannonsLiver]

21. I salute their efforts.

Chuck needs to get his head in the game. Pronto.

[Quixote1818]

25. Yes! Our team needs a f__kig shove right now to grow some balls. Nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

31. Prepare for a Tsunami of Propagandist bullshit. They own channels now.

[Hitorque]

34. Useful idiots...

We're now starting our 10th year of suffering under Trumpism and folks still ain't learned shit... Haven't any of you ever wondered why you never see Trumpers publicly protest fellow Trumpers?

The fact that we have a Schumer protest even before our first Donnie protest perfectly illustrates why we're on a fast track towards permanent minority status...

[Skittles]

41. THEY ARE A CULT

WE ARE NOT

[bigtree]

43. we have a Schumer protest post

...without any real proof of a Schumer protest.

[Hitorque]

44. Fair enough... It could be agitprop bullshit.

We'll wait and see...

[LeftInTX]

46. Schumer is the new "Genocide Joe"

[JohnSJ]

63. That worked out real well along with the Abandon Harris groupies.and other protesters who refused to vote for Harris and

contributed to the sociopath in the WH.

[LeftInTX]

65. It worked out real well for Putin and the Republicans!

[JohnSJ]

66. that is for sure

[Skittles]

37. WTF INDEED

[bigtree]

42. did you find any proof of this post yet?

...still nothing on twitter or anywhere else.

Did you even look past the rando poster who claimed someone sent them the picture?

Do you care if it's true?

[bigtree]

45. why is there only ONE distorted picture provided from that poster?

...or anyone else?

There's nothing about the pic that says it's a protest today against Schumer.

It's not as if there haven't been others, by republicans.

Where's the proof that this is what the poster claims it is?

And shouldn't there be some proof for a post attacking our Democratic leader on this Democratic message board?

[bigtree]

48. there's no protest. never was.

...this is just a lie, without proof.

Prove me wrong.

'outside his building?' What fucking building?

[spanone]

51. K&R

[gab13by13]

54. There's a new forum, The Way Forward

I use it to give my opinions of what we and Congressional Democrats could be doing.

I know AOC, Crockett, Bernie, Adam Kinzinger (not a Democrat) are raising holy hell, kudos to them.

Wish they would hold town halls across the country.

[newdeal2]

55. It sucks that we have to waste energy on this

But worth it if Chuck wakes up tomorrow and actually tries something new. Whatever he and other leaders are doing right now isn’t effective.

[electric_blue68]

59. Google is Not Showing Any News for a protest at Schumer's home

[RockCreek]

69. Google would only show such news if in the "mainstream media"

Google would only show such news if in the "mainstream media" or huge on social media. The "mainstream media" don't cover protests unless they are gigantic (or, unfortunately, violent). Even then they often downplay size and sometimes denigrate the protestors.

[Scrivener7]

72. A) that's quaint. B) if people aren't asking him what the plan is, they should be.

Unfortunately, when you call his office you only get a machine. Some days you don't get that.

[JohnSJ]

60. Are these the same protesters who refused to vote for VP Harris? Why aren't they protesting the republicans who have

the majority in both Houses?

At least the protest reported in LA was directed where it should be, the rethugs and trump.

WTF.

[Scrivener7]

71. I voted for Harris, and I'm totally with these people. We need to hear from Chuck a lot more often

and we need to hear our leaders' comprehensive plan to stop Musk, assure our beloved allies that NONE OF US wants to go to war with them, and stop the coup that is happening under their noses.

Rome is burning.

[JohnSJ]

73. If our Congressional leaders have a plan to counter what is happening, and I am not saying they do, one would think they

would NOT announce their plans until they were ready to deploy it.

All I am saying is the protests really need to be directed at the ones who are implementing these draconian policies,.

[Scrivener7]

74. Right. Just like they were working hard behinds the scenes in Garland's office and all was well.

Say what you will about Cuomo, but he was out there every day during Covid. He was keeping us as informed as we needed to be. We need that now from our leaders.

I simply don't have your faith that they're working "behind the scenes." That's not how this works.

[Drum]

64. Apparently there is not.

No one has shown any context or additional proof of it. Nothing pops on a Google search or a look at the NYTimes site.

[Kaleva]

68. Protest is about the woodchuck predicting a long winter

[NEOH]

76. Schumer needs to go. Nt
