Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.

He doesn’t work for the American people he works for Israel

[-] eve@evecodes.com 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Ain’t it weird that we can all see these politicians that make weird, nonsensical decisions like Schumer does are Israeli plants, but the politicians who sit right beside them everyday when they go to work can’t? Either they are willingly stupid or just trying to play dumb in our faces.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization. Anyone who even conceives of throwing more money at it or thinking these animals just have to be “trained” is not living in a state of reality. ICE agents act exactly like the cartels and do not value human life. They are damaged goods, who come from a different culture, that are not compatible with American society. The only solution for them is hard therapy and those dogs are too far gone for that.

Every one of the fucking rotating villains needs to go. You vote for any of that shit, you're out.

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Boomers have overstayed their welcome.

[-] fodor@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Israel has the United States government occupied. It’s pretty clear we’re at war with Israel and we’re losing

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Yes but look at the long game. Imagine what happens when we lose relevance. It’ll be Israel vs Russia.

Get the fuck out chuck and move to Israel you will be accepted there.

Duh. Schumer works for Israel, not the USA.

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

We need a revolution

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 87 points 17 hours ago

I used to think he was merely useless, now I think he's a collaborator.

I used to, but I still do.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 126 points 18 hours ago

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.

[-] tmyakal@infosec.pub 56 points 17 hours ago

Not just Israel. He's also here for the Baileys!

From Wikipedia:

Schumer has long claimed that his political decisions are guided by an imaginary middle-class couple, Joe and Eileen Bailey (initially O'Reilly), swing voters living in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa

[-] Rekhyt@lemmy.world 58 points 16 hours ago

Specifically an imaginary couple who voted for Trump twice. His guiding imaginary couple are Republicans.

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 43 points 16 hours ago

If you haven't seen it, here is a link to Jon Oliver's piece about Schumer and the Bailey's and how the imaginary swing voters he bases his policy decisions on are really Republicans.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago

Fuck those people. I'm from long island, I know people from Massapequa. They probably love ICE.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 hours ago

So does Schumer

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Maybe he needs to go be a politician in Israel then because I'd prefer that he "fight like hell" for the US at the moment.

It's time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and get dragged off stage.

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.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

If they are on this list they’re a traitor and should be voted out https://www.trackaipac.com/congress

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

Their duty is to Israel first, America second. We need to primary any Dem who takes AIPAC, or other Zionist groups, money.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 69 points 18 hours ago

The DNC is controlled opposition and the fact that centrists are in denial about it puts all of us in great peril.

He’s an active traitor. Insidious.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
