Guys, you just don't understand. His job, as he stated, is "to fight like hell for Israel." This other stuff is just peanuts for him.

I used to think he was merely useless, now I think he's a collaborator.
The DNC is controlled opposition and the fact that centrists are in denial about it puts all of us in great peril.
Yeah this clown and like half the Dem establishment needs to go. Maybe more than half. I'm not one for the "both parties are the same" bullshit, but between the enablements and the not listening to constituents, it is clear that many of these people are incapable of performing the duties for which they were elected.
Their duty is to Israel first, America second. We need to primary any Dem who takes AIPAC, or other Zionist groups, money.
Chuck is a big reason in the rise of Trumpism. He has been weak and only cares about Israel.
How sad you all assume he's not corrupt and is just taking in big $.
House Democrats found themselves in the familiar position this week of seething at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for negotiating a deal with Republicans to keep the government funded.
Why it matters: While his caucus remains behind him, Schumer is becoming persona non grata for much of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
"I'm gonna continue to tell you that Schumer needs to get the hell out over and over and over until he does," Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) told Axios. "He continues to demonstrate to us that he can't meet the moment," she added. Another House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer insights into private conversations among lawmakers, told Axios: "The main feeling among members is a lack of trust in his strength and ability to strike a hard bargain." State of play: The House voted Tuesday to pass an appropriations package that funds the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, State and Transportation until September.
It also keeps the Department of Homeland Security funded at 2025 levels until Feb. 13, which is meant to give Senate Democrats and the White House enough time to hash out a final deal on ICE and Customs and Border Protection reforms. But while Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have said they won't accept anything short of reforms of those agencies, their GOP counterparts have cast doubt on the prospect of a quick deal. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) went so far as to tell reporters that a deal by Feb. 13 was an "impossibility," floating a year-long stopgap funding bill to keep DHS open. What they're saying: Jeffries has essentially threatened to allow a DHS shutdown if his demands aren't met, saying in a statement Tuesday, "Absent bold and meaningful change, there is no credible path forward with respect to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill next week."
But Schumer, asked if he would make the same ultimatum at a press conference with Jeffries on Wednesday, told reporters, "I'm just going to say we're sending them a proposal and we await their response." Senate Democrats — unlike their House counterparts — have the ability to block a DHS funding bill because it takes a 60-vote majority to pass it in the upper chamber. What we're hearing: Some Democrats, worried that the threat of a DHS shutdown is not enough to force Republicans to the table, feel Schumer gave up the party's best leverage by cutting a deal to reopen the rest of the government.
"Every time that we are winning, we seem to somehow sabotage [it]," Ramirez fumed, noting that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has already ruled out several Democratic demands.
Said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.): "Personally I was of the opinion ... that, 'What are we going to get in 10 days that we didn't get?'" A second House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Axios that "all those spending bills, that is the most leverage," and that "many folks in the [House] Democratic caucus wish that we had more confidence in Schumer's ability to navigate a good, tough deal." Yes, but: Some progressive House Democrats are still confident that the DHS bill is enough leverage to secure some concessions.
"I don't think Republicans want a DHS shutdown," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told Axios. She added: "If Donald Trump wants to ... issue the State of the Union with the entire Department of Homeland Security shut down, I think that is a terrible indictment of his leadership. And I do think they care." Jayapal and Rep. Chuy García (D-Ill.) both argued that public opinion against ICE is another piece of leverage for Democrats, with García telling Axios: "They 'ought to be worried how their policies are faring with the American people." The bottom line: "It could be a huge failure" for Senate Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez says, if they fail to secure the reforms the party are demanding.
"The stakes are quite high."
Massey, the Republican on the outs, told the dems they have to actually hold out for something concrete.
Jesus christ, maybe massey should be appointed to lead. How are there no challenges to democratic leadership? Not now, not, ever? What is wrong with the party? What is wrong with us for accepting this?
AoC needs to primary him
Every one of the fucking rotating villains needs to go. You vote for any of that shit, you're out.
Boomers have overstayed their welcome.
This isn’t a generational issue, this is all out class warfare.
That's true but don't fool yourself. There are younger dirty politicians waiting to replace them if we aren't careful, and probably in some places even if we are.
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
I used to think it was Russia that had infiltrated US politics. I mean it did, but Israel got there first.
Israel, Russia, Trendy Aqua, whatever. Ultimately the USA has failed to maintain its obligations to civil society, allowing those who operate the mechanisms of power and policy to be susceptible to such exploitation. Classic blunder.
Schumer is hand-in-hand with the republicans. What they can’t win, he loses for the democrats.
I have held my nose and voted for this rat-fuck in every election of my adult life. I keep hoping someone who actually cares about New Yorkers will primary him.
AOC polls way better than Schumer among all registered voters in New York (yes, including Republicans). She's going to primary him in 2028.
Wish it could be sooner, but her success can leverage off Mamdani's progress, should all go well...
It's time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and get dragged off stage.
Get rid of him and they'll replace a mirror image of him. The same way they replaced Pelosi with a black to version of Pelosi.
