    Maybe he has the same minor condition like Mitch McConnell. Must be awesome to have all these ‘experienced’ people still in congress without any term limits. Surely does not stand in the way of progress because they fully comprehend the modern world.

        For sure, and don’t get me wrong, this is meant as a condemnation of Schumer, not praise for Greene.

    To be fair, Trump is intentionally doing this at this time to try to distract from the high gas prices, grocery prices, etc, his war caused. Immigration is, sadly, the thing he polls the best on, especially in red states. Republicans are desperately defending senate seats in red states like Texas, Alaska, Nebraska, and more. The more we talk about immigration, the less gas prices will be on past Republican voters minds, the more likely they will be to go out and vote for Republicans.

    Schumer would love to have Democrats or Independents that caucus with Democrats in states like Texas, Alaska and Nebraska. Remember it will be 6 years before they are up for election again, that’s a long time to have these seats. This also may be a once and a lifetime chance for Democrats to get seats in states like these, unless Trump is stupid enough to keep the Iran War going through another couple of election cycles.

    This is like the 2006 midterms under Bush. 2006 flipped a bunch of Senate seats, then 2008 flipped even more, and the Democrats ended up with 59 seats, and a Republican flipped to give Democrats 60 which enabled them to override the filibuster without completely ending the filibuster.

    Why would Israel’s controlled opposition in their colonial-occupational government openly oppose the deportation of his enemy? Of course he is rejoicing with his fellow Epsteinite-unipartymen, raping children and drinking their blood on some new private island.

    Chuck is as much an enemy of the people as Trump, but more insidious than outright evil, by presenting himself as an ally to and leader of the left-wing. He’s nothing more than a bulwark for the Zionazis and a concierge to the other powerbrokers.

    Of course not. Its his full time job to “fight for aid to Israel, all the aid it needs”, he said so himself. He doesnt care at all about Omar, or any of us --except maybe as sources of funds.

      Can’t agree there, the government of Israel has gotten along really well with the government of Saudi Arabia for example. If you murder journalists and protesters and otherwise repress dissent they will try to work with you.

      Ha, Zionists hate everybody. They are the Chosen People.

      And Islam hates everybody, they are God’s select. So there’s a wee bit of conflict there. A thousand years of this clown show.

        It’d be a tidy summation if it were true, but its not historically accurate. Jewish people got along just fine in Muslim lands until zionism resurged. There has been 100 years of violence, since zionism-- which is racism.

          I wonder where that aspect of Zionism originated…

          I hate to say it, but one of the big three is not like the others.

            All three have a lot to answer for over the years. I could do without any of them, but I think humans would find some other bullshit excuses and narratives around an invisible friend to justify subjugating other countries and subjugating others within their own country…

              Humans will always find some other bullshit excuse and narrative… but only the religious get tax-free status over and above any non-profit.

              We certainly shouldn’t be passing their tax burdens onto everybody else, for any religion. They are all unfathomably wealthy already, no need to add to their gigantic pile of gold.

            They are all infested with a smug superiority and have proven willing and able to murder all who won’t submit to their rule.

            They are dissimilar in some ways, but the most important thing is that they are all murderous and all have scriptural support to be murderous.

            But yes, one of the big three is not like the others. For example, there are no PRIDE parades in any Islamic state.

    One more reason to support term limits for Congress.

    Yes, we’d lose a few of the “good ones”, but it would keep corrupt fucks like Chuck from staying in power too long. The net positives would far outweigh the net negatives.

    The problem isn’t that he’s 75, the problem is he’s been in office almost 30 years. He’s corrupt and he has the support of a corrupt machine.
