6. WTF Schumer! A half-million taxpayer $ or more each to individual US Senators suspected of having colluded in J6 coup

attempt? This man has no common sense. He needs to go now. I am contacting my two Senators here in Oregon today to make this point to them directly.

And here is Schumer's reaction to this news:

Even Schumer conceded the widely unpopular language should ultimately be scrapped.

“The bottom line is, Thune wanted the provision and we wanted to make sure that at least Democratic senators were protected from [Attorney General Pam] Bondi and others who might go after them,” he said Tuesday. “But I’d be for repealing all of it and I hope that happens,” he told reporters.


Same old, timidly weak bullcrap. I'm sick and tired of Democratic leaders' art of compromise: "rationalize a concession and give the Rs something egregious they want."

JFC!
