So explain to me again why the Dems now want to assassinate Schumer?

[justoffal]

I just don't get it. Eight Senators explained to him what they were going to do....they didn't ask his permission....

Could he have prevented them from voting?
I don't think so.

What was he supposed to do? Threaten them?

How does this become his failing???

Anyone??

Good leaders are supposed to know which battles not to fight.

Simply Failure to Achieve Goals, and some kind of punishment is the order of the day, in that disorganized party, out of power.

So you're saying that he could have stopped them? How?

Because they believe Schumer made a back door deal with the 8 democrats, so that he could maintain his own, curated public image of fighting against the ACA credit lapse, while actually doing the opposite.

They beiieve he convinced 8 democrats who are not up for reelection in 2026 to do his bidding, given the nonexistent risk of losing any of those 8 seats, in 2026.

They believe Schumer acted against the will of most of the democrat congresspeole, their party, and their constituency.

Scapegoating....

 

[Lockback]

Democrats want to assassinate everybody who doesn't do their bidding.
That's why they're the Assassination Party .

Ahhhhh......I didn't read that anywhere but it does sound plausible.

Read more, they are stating it explicitly.

They are stating either that he lied or is too inept to maintain a consensus.

I don't buy the consensus thing....
Nobody can actually do that.

Was he less than truthful? I guess that will make itself apparent in time.

But your answer at least makes sense.

Up till now I just couldn't figure the angle.

[ColonelAngus]

Yea, lefties.

You disagree with Schumer….so he should probably get murdered.

 

[1srelluc]

He should stay away from sloped roofs for a while sure enough.

so much for being 'democratic'.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Nobody can actually do that.

Except for when he did for nearly 6 weeks, until he made back room deals to break it intentionally. Which is why that seems most likely.

So you're saying that he could have stopped them? How?

Trying to use extortion to force Republicans to fund the ACA subsidy was a dumb idea, he should have known better.
Pass the CR, then negotiate the subsidy, simple.

It was a desperation tactic employed because the credits are set to expire in 7 weeks.

Not one year. Not two. 7 weeks. And the fat rapist had ordered his cult NOT to negotiate.

what does Clinton have to do with it?

 

[drudge X]

I said yesterday that it was a face saving move by Chuck. He knows that he is in no position to fight Trump head on.
