Then he didn't "steal" anything.
Not to mention, If the Democrats hadn't chosen a horrible POTUS candidate in 2016, or blew up the appointments filibuster it wouldn't have mattered.

I'd shove ending the filibuster right up the Dems ass and tell Schumer he will reap the whirlwind!

If Democrats had nominated bipartisan type individuals, they would have been approved. So, if you are going to cram through partisan nominees then the right should be able to do the same.

Bullshit
Democrats nominate Liberals, Republicans nominate Conservatives.
Unless there is something criminal or offensive in their background, a President should select who he wants

What changed your mind? I agree. If a Democrat president wants to select who he wants and cram them through one way or the other, such as Obama did with recess appointments, then Republican presidents should be able to do the same. We are in complete agreement.

LOL, the voice of experience. Schumer lives up to the literal translation of his name---"Good-for-Nothing Bum"

But make them answer for their past
Gaetz has no business as AG

Because of the unfounded accusations by a blackmailer or because he’s loyal to Trump?

Why? Are you finding him guilty of something when he hasn't been found guilty of anything? Even Biden's weaponized DOJ felt it wasn't going to work charging him with anything. That's about as squeaky clean as you can get.
Sorry he had to act within the Biden Rule

No such thing
Not anymore, there was a lot of backlash to it when out in practice so McConnell got rid of it

Schumer now pleads for bi-partisanship having promised to railroad Democrat agenda through
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was looking to get rid of the filibuster of Democrats gained a majority in the Senate but now he is calling for bi-partisanship.www.foxnews.com
Schumer and the Democrats tried to kill the filibuster in 2022 when they had 50 votes – the vice president could have broken the tie – but Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema refused to toe the Democratic party line. They eventually became Independents.
. . .
"To my Republican colleagues, I offer a word of caution in good faith," Schumer said.
"Take care not to misread the will of the people, and do not abandon the need for bipartisanship. After winning an election, the temptation may be to go to the extreme. We’ve seen that happen over the decades, and it has consistently backfired on the party in power."
"So, instead of going to the extremes, I remind my colleagues that this body is most effective when it’s bipartisan. If we want the next four years in the Senate to be as productive as the last four, the only way that will happen is through bipartisan cooperation."
Schumer’s about face wasn’t lost on Byron York, chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner and a Fox News contributor.
What does Schumer mean by "going to extremes?" Surely, he cannot mean ending the fillibuster and packing the court. How could it only be "extreme" if Republicans do it?
No. He must mean something else. He still supports ending the fillibuster and packing the court, I'm sure.
But what else could he mean?
I think the dems are right, there is no reason for there to be just 9 justices, there should be 20.
I think trump needs to push about 11 more right leaning justices who are all mid 30, and in very good health (because health is important!)
Also, tell Schumer to pound sand. How bi partisan are the dems when they are in control?

Maybe, but then we never expected trump to win like he did, either.

Demwits will always be in favor of lying, cheating, stealing, manipulating, and fraudulent activity, in general. They used lawfare through their kangaroo courts to stop their political opposition, and when that didn't work, they tried to have him killed. So, yes, the Demwits will stop at nothing to gain total power and control, regardless of the People's will. Just as Mao Zedong (Tse Tung), Pol Pot, Stalin, and others did and will do.Schumer now pleads for bi-partisanship having promised to railroad Democrat agenda through

As I said, even Biden's weaponized DOJ saw the evidence, or lack thereof and decided not to charge.
