51. Lol. Come on, Jackie. The recent spate of "NEVER POSE QUESTIONS ABOUT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS!!!"

Thu Sep 30, 2021, 01:18 PM

Sep 2021

posts is bizarre and irrational.

Seriously, why so insistent that no one asks these questions?

I suspect you all are just as frightened as those of us who ask the questions that we are going to be subject to Fitzmases, with respect to Biden being able to enact his agenda, with respect to TFG ever getting justice, and with respect to our being able to safeguard future elections. You're just not admitting it.

I am scared of those things. I freely admit it. I wish I could see some progress in ANY of them that eases my mind a little bit. I'm pretty desperate to see some progress, in fact.

I understand that you will tell me I am wrong, but the frantic need, evident in the responses by many in this and other threads, to shut down any questions about what is being done about these issues says I am not.

I expect to receive a response of further outrage that anyone dared to ask "Where is Schumer?" that will include lots of leaps of logic and laughing emojis, and it will not answer the original question.

Have at it, and have a lovely day.

Well we expect Pelosi to make things happen. Why not Chuck? boston bean Sep 2021 #2

I don't expect Pelosi to squeeze wine from a stone FBaggins Sep 2021 #7

Well, we see him going about a lot to different meetings and applying pressure Blue_Adept Sep 2021 #3

I have not seen him on TV. I have seen Pelosi. boston bean Sep 2021 #4

He's been busy leading the charge to get rid of the limit Tomconroy Sep 2021 #5

A full repeal of the limit (as advocated for by Gottheimer and other 'moderates') is simply another Celerity Sep 2021 #9

What's the limit though? It hurts people who live in expensive areas. dsp3000 Sep 2021 #30

Raise it up so that people up to a certain point of wealth are not impacted, but keep it Celerity Sep 2021 #34

Good question. Though, apparently, you have offended some by asking. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #8

Yep. It is par for the course. boston bean Sep 2021 #10

I personally love Schumer. He's my Senator and I will always vote for him, but Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #11

So... what would a pit bull do instead? FBaggins Sep 2021 #13

Go LBJ dirty and twist arms. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #19

That's just another way of saying "be a pit bull" and doesn't answer the question FBaggins Sep 2021 #23

That's the best you can imagine? Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #28

Why not imagine something else entirely since we're making stuff up? FBaggins Sep 2021 #31

What I am describing is a far cry from your characterization, and you know that perfectly well. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #32

This need on DU lately to ridicule and pile on people who ask Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #29

Valid question my ass. It was a clear insinuation that Schumer is "missing in action" or ... NurseJackie Sep 2021 #35

Because you know I'm right. Thank you. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #54

You are wrong, Jackie. boston bean Sep 2021 #67

I posted it because Pelosi is out there taking the hits daily on boston bean Sep 2021 #65

He is. And Pelosi is not. Why? boston bean Sep 2021 #66
