Where is Schumer? [View all] boston bean Sep 2021 OP

Like what? FBaggins Sep 2021 #1

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

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

LBJ twisted arms by handing out, removing, and playing with the value of earmarks. Calista241 Sep 2021 #33

And yet, somehow, the other side manages to bring recalcitrant members to heel. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #38

John McCain single handedly bucked his party and saved the ACA. Calista241 Sep 2021 #40

First time in my lifetime I had seen a Republican do something noble. boston bean Sep 2021 #68

It's not as if Pelosi is having much success either onenote Sep 2021 #16

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

Case in point. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #36

Wrong. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #39

The question "Where is Schumer?" hardly earns the hysteria that has greeted it in this thread. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #41

That's a very imaginative dodge. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #43

Lol. Come on, Jackie. The recent spate of "NEVER POSE QUESTIONS ABOUT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS!!!" Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #51

I'm not an idiot. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #52

OK, opened this, saw the phrase "complete hogwash" and didn't read the rest. Scrivener7 Sep 2021 #53

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
