This WAS the moment, Chuck [View all]

"So while Chuck Schumer stated last night that “this fight will and must continue. Democrats must fight,” it certainly does appear that this was the fight.

THIS was the moment.

And eight Democratic senators (and unofficially Schumer?) cowered to assholes giving billions to scumbags spending $300 million on ballrooms, $200 million on private jets with no engines, giving $40 billion to that dancing Argentinian weirdo, and auctioning $64,000 Thailand vacation packages while Americans struggle with grocery and healthcare costs.

There are 47 Senate Democrats. Replacing Chuck Schumer as minority leader and Dick Durbin as whip would require just 24 votes."
