Schumer sends another 'strongly worded letter.', Now will he do something?

Geez!


seriously want to know why they think these "strongly worded" Boomer letters work anymore?

if you’re serious, join Sen. Van Hollen and pull together a Senate delegation to head to El Salvador. Show up or step aside — this isn’t the time for half-measures.

C’mon Chuck, time to show up.

Listen Chuck, I know your brows are furrowed to the max and if you had some pearls you'd be clutching them the way you clutch on to your Dem "leadership" but...take some action?

Are you aware of what Sen Chris Van Hollen is doing? How about you hop on that wagon? Or just step down. That works too.

“If we normalize this, there’s no end.”

This is what @schumer.senate.gov said he was waiting for. Defying court orders.

We are there. Now what?

new tricks. Schumer is operating on a 1990s paradigm of what congress was like back then. He should step down as leader and let someone younger take over.

That would have been effective 30 years ago but it’s a new world and we need someone younger to face those challenges.

What exactly would you have him do?

These attacks on Schumer are unwarranted and ignorant.

Schumer like other Democrats have been denied access to the levers of power by the fear, ignorance, and stupidity of the voters.

2. Merrick Garland
3. The New York Times
4. The "Media"/"MSM"
5. Bill Maher
6. The USPS

I'm sure there are more...

and politicians, scholars, scientists, etc. It seems to be used here is a very derogatory way. Is that a widely felt view here now? That those of us who were born before 1961 need not contribute in any way unless is in the current, brash, Joe Ragenesque style.
How about financial support of the site? Is that still welcome here, or no? Because I've been donating here for over 20 years.

without insulting people, then the MAGA tactic of divide and conquer will work. The comment was ignorant. Schumer sending a letter that details laws broken clearly and distinctly functions as evidence and clear reasons for further action. It's all we've got right now, unless we want to start shooting.

The President of Harvard, a boomer, just sent "a strongly worded letter" to the White House as well. He's being lauded throughout the media. Do you want me to translate what it said in non-boomer, gen-whateverthefuck? I'll paraphrase for those who don't get what this formal documentation is about. He told Trump to go fuck himself, Harvard is not for sale. It's all he has to use...for now.

So all I will say is that Senator Schumer and Collins are concerned, a bipartisan concern about Trump eliminating our Republic.

delegation to the large pens of immigrant children being held at the border during Trump's first creepy arrests.
The Border Patrol guards wouldn't let them anywhere near the large number of kids being held there.
Then, they got away with sending the huge amount of kids somewhere, with no paper trail what so ever.....

Come on, Chuck, resign already. You just ain't got what it takes to recover this country. Let someone with the guts to do it be in charge.
