Shame on him and the others. They have lost all trust and credibility. He does not own his seat. He does not employ us. We employ him. He and the others handed the bully his candy and ball on a silver platter. Shame on him and Dick Durbin. It’s almost unbelievable, they have shown us exactly who they are, spineless, lacking any moral courage and completely ineffective . Both must go.

I’m just a woman who’s father at the age of 19 flew a B26 300 feet above the ground during WW2 so you have the freedom to say and write what you want. That plane was called The Widow Maker.

Thank God for people like your dad. My 3 brothers all served in Viet Nam. The oldest one also served in Korea. These namby pambys just run their mouths.

Linda Exley's avatar

Your father as well as others are the true heros of America and deserve respect and honored as such. The same as the working women, who worked with little pay during the wars when there wasn't enough manpower. Thank you.

Michele M's avatar

Thank you for sharing your father's story. Quite impressive at 19!

My father served in the navy during WWII.

Pete’s comments are blocked. Coward.

Pete, did you get kicked off Twitter/X? Substack is only for respectful people

Evelyn Freitas's avatar

Enjoy your results, Pete - you’ve done a fabulous job of fcuking yourself.

I live in Connecticut and am a former New Yorker. Does that make me a country bumpkin? What exactly matters where you live and what you believe? Do you know farmers in Midwest are being hurt? Trump and Musk are Putin puppets and are planning to destroy our democracy!

They see themselves as Oligarchs and so does his billionaire cabinet. The only people who are ok with all this Shit… is the wealthiest of our country because of tax cuts!! You’re an ass!!

Eric Perro's avatar

Good on you for sticking it to that trailer trash magatard. If the mindless Trumpian KKKoolaid Zombies had any spine or genuine love for the USA beyond jingoism, they wouldn't let the Trump/Musk Cabal get away with trying to ruin our nation for the enrichment of a handful of hyper-wealthy people.

Thank you Eileen! This one is probably a maga troll just trying to add to the hate and discontent in our country. He can go pound sand!!!

Not a suburbanite, nor do I like or have cats.

Marco Zarate's avatar

Sounds like you know a lot about suburban back yard politics. Still waiting for your "yellow" trickle down? Don't lose hope. Keep licking.

You will miss Biden.

RaidaDave's avatar

Looks like you're following the lead of Cuck Schumer....fucking coward!!

Cheryl Alexander's avatar

Schumer needs to be replaced… he’s out of touch

Leah Baum's avatar

I couldn’t agree more. We need younger leaders.

JUDI MASTROIANNI's avatar

Thanks for bending over CHUCK ( and others) now WE ALL GET SCREWED

“Without a smile”

Schumer needs to be taken down from minority leader and when he comes up for re-election we vote him out. Also the other nine senate democrats who for the CR. We don’t need those type of people representing us. Because frankly they don’t care about us

Melissa's avatar

They need recalled. Don’t wait to vote them out recall their seat.

Anabanana's avatar

I looked that up only the senate can boot him out. We as citizens cannot recall senators or representatives.

Kevin Brady's avatar

On the Ides of March we take the place of Caesar, as the Senators betray us.😡

Linda Larson's avatar

Schumer, you made a big mistake. More dismantling of the USA immediately followed your screw up

Stephanie Power's avatar

I am LIVID! When I heard the results last night I started physically shaking with RAGE. I am SO ANGRY!!! You can't be a leader if no one is following you, CHUCK! Traitor!

John V. Allen's avatar

Schumer needs to go because he’s not a fighter ,and that’s what the democrats need the most @ this time.

Kathy Rea's avatar

I am not donating another dime to the Dems. I am fuming over what Sen. Schumer and the other 9 Dems did. You should be fighting for us not giving in to a wannabe strongman.

Patrice La Belle, M.D.'s avatar

Trump wanted a shut down. He could then gut everything including the courts. Schumer did the right thing. Even though the bill is horrible, a shutdown would be much worse.

Walter Thiem's avatar

If this is true, Schumer, at the very least, played this issue very poorly. The Democratic voters had been primed for a shutdown. The consequences of a shutdown should have been known by party leadership for weeks. To pull this stunt at the last minute was really stupid move.

HarlynHannah's avatar

I agree. The government would never have reopened again and many agencies would have been shuttered indefinitely. Also would have given them ample info for what employees can be terminated if they were non essential. He had no good options

Jacquie White's avatar

COWARDS or TRAITORS OF THE PARTY! ALL 10 of THEM!

David T.'s avatar

FU Schumer. Coward!!!!

GW B's avatar

Didn’t blow up in his face, he must’ve gotten something really nice. DJT thanked him.right away.

This is blowing up in all our faces. Benedict Arnold has nothing on this guy and 9 others who have gotten lost in their own personal well being and forgotten about their country at one of the most critical moments in 150 years.

GW B's avatar

I forgot to add 53 current Republican Senators to this. They belong here too.

Lillian Murty's avatar

I’m from New York State. Both of our “senators” caved. Disgusting. And Gillebrand was always talking about supporting veterans. What a crock of shit

Adrienne's avatar

Disappointed and hung out to dry

Sharon Chambers's avatar

We need a new Minority Leader!

Kevin Brady's avatar

Illinois will soon have Duckworth as SENIOR senator.

Carlos Sanchez's avatar

Until the senate democrats get there shit together, I will not send any donations to any senate candidate or pac to defete the orange turd. After yesterdays vote they gave the orange turd carte blanche to the ever the shithead wants to do. The democrats need to replace coward chuck with someone who will fight for vets, seniors, social security, and Medicare. Until then, don't expect any money from me. This applies to my senator who voted yes. I'm talking to you Brian Schatz.

Kevin Brady's avatar

The Democratic Party had months since the November election to build a strategy to save our democracy. They did nothing because they are mostly cowards and elderly fools. The future us in our hands now. Join www.fiftyfifty.one. Take to the streets in peaceful protest.

JBR's avatar

They said they were willing to negotiate. A useless position.

Patrice La Belle, M.D.'s avatar

That is self-defeating. Instead, send your support to the new Democratic candidates challenging Republican-held districts in elections this year around the country, both for Congress and in state elections, like judges, AGs, and legislators.

A government shut down would have given the current occupant of the WH and his kakistocracy even more power to destroy every part of our government that helps people. Schumer made a tough choice, a bad bill or carte blanche.

They made a difficult choice, a terrible bill or a shut down that gave Trump even more power to destroy our government. He could have even gone after the courts and Congress.
