  1. We need new leadership. 10 years of this trying to play by the rules while republicans jump over them just isn’t working.

    Nobody needs to be in office serving the public for 50 years – it was never meant to be such a role. You can’t be in touch with the public when your entire working career has been spent in the fantasy land of Congress.

  3. I’ve seen this episode of The Shit Show before. The ending never changes no matter how many times it is replayed.

  4. He should resign. From the Senate.

    He’s clearly not fit or interested in fighting to defend democracy and American citizens.

  5. Schumer and The Traitorous Eight just treated my family’s future like it was an underage girl on Epstein Island.

  6. Yeah, probably time. I’ve been a Schumer stan for a while now, but this was really a poor showing from Democrats. Definitely nowhere near as catastrophic as everyone is making it out to be, but it was a failure nonetheless. If Schumer can’t keep his people in line, and he can’t play the public opinion game, I’m not sure what purpose he serves as leader.

  7. We take our comedians seriously and our politicians as jokesters, to paraphrase Will Rogers.

    No Senator even really cared about the ACA. All of their families, and most of their friends, have always had nice healthcare.

    In other news, the Dow was at a near-record high today and the 100 Senators hold a combined worth of more than $1 billion (estimated by OpenSecrets).

  8. Not American, but can’t he be removed as leader through another vote of the Democratic Caucus? Or is this just more nonsense to make news stories of the minority of the house democrats want him gone (the progressives) and the old guard, which make up the majority, was to keep him?

    He has proven time and again to be an ineffective and frankly, disappointing leader. He should resign, but he never will.

  10. I’m really disappointed in everyone who caved and I also fully believe Schumer should resign, BUT I also think there was almost no chance it wouldn’t end this month.

    I knew that once there was any possibility that it would become impossible for Americans to fly to visit family for Thanksgiving, the govt would reopen. And I knew it would be the Dems caving, not JUST because they’re spineless, but because they are the only ones that are compelled by some level of empathy. Republicans don’t care if children in their own states die of preventable diseases, or guns, or starvation.

    There was no way anything short of multiple direct threats on their lives was going to convince republicans to reopen the govt

    He’s evil. How the hell do these ghouls sleep at night. If he had any decency he would have resigned years ago. Deport his ass to Israel.

  12. Honestly any democrat over the age of 60 should resign/not run for office again. Time to move aside for the younger generations
