Schumer Sells Out the Resistance

This weekend, more than one million people took to the streets nationwide for the first anniversary of the Women’s March. Though not nearly as big as the protests a year ago, it was still a larger public manifestation than anything the Tea Party ever managed. And though the demonstration was meant as a rebuke to Donald Trump, one central demand was that Congress stand up for the young undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers, who were brought to the country as children. They now face deportation because Trump has moved to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program protecting them.

The energy of the progressive grass roots should be seen as a valuable resource for Democrats. If Donald Trump’s election taught us anything beyond the salience of white nationalism among our fellow citizens, it’s that passion matters, and that people respond when they see a leader who is willing to champion them even when it’s risky. That’s why it was so infuriating to see the Senate Democratic leadership sell the Dreamers out.

Sorry Michelle, that is what happens when there is a video of your Senator sodomizing and 10 year old Haitian boy.

Trump did not have to "move" to end DACA. It had an expiration date. The truth is, DACA was nothing but a "let's kick this can of worms down the road so I don't have to take any blame for anything" move by the previous occupant of the white house.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It’s not the “resistance”. It’s illegal aliens and the vermin progressives who promote them over American citizens.

Spit.

[Guenevere]

Is this seriously true?...Schumer?

[SERKIT]

Sorry Michelle, that is what happens when there is a video of your Senator sodomizing and 10 year old Haitian boy.

Uh....what?

[Diogenesis]

These criminals drink slaughtered-children’s blood,
and cover up the murders and organ selling.
Not one of them spoke up. Ever.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Chucky’s “P-hat” has started to fray. His shutdown plan didn’t seem to work out. They never do. Congress doesn’t have the testicular fortitude to shutdown the government. #SchumerShutdown.

"Sorry Michelle, that is what happens when there is a video of your Senator sodomizing and 10 year old Haitian boy. "

Whoa, What??

The Tea Party just won the presidency. What have the street thugs in the pink pussy hats accomplished?

It was Schumer and Pelosi against the earlier Schumer and Pelosi !

Dems’ words about the 2013 government shutdown come back to haunt them — and prove their hypocrisy

Jan 21, 2018 by Chris Enloe


2013, Schumer said on CNN’s “The Lead”

... 2013, Schumer said on CNN’s “The Lead”:
“I believe in immigration reform.
What if I persuaded my caucus to say,
‘I’m going to shut the government down,
I am going to not pay our bills unless I get my way?’
It’s a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis.”



Charles Schumer 'This Week' Interview: New York Senator on Government Shutdown ( 4:49 )
ABC News
Published on Oct 6, 2013

“The basic line is:
No matter how strongly one feels about an issue,
you shouldn’t hold millions of people hostage.
That’s what the other side is doing.
That’s wrong and we can’t give in to that,”
he said on ABC’s “This Week.”

He further explained:
[Then-House] Speaker [John] Boehner comes in and he says, basically,
it’s sorta like this.
Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage,
and then says
‘Let’s negotiate over the price of your house.’
You know, we could do the same thing on immigration.
We believe strongly in immigration reform.
We could say,
‘We’re shutting down the government,
we’re not gonna raise the debt ceiling, until you pass immigration reform.’
It would be governmental chaos.

... At the time, Pelosi called the GOP “legislative arsonists.”
“I call them ‘legislative arsonists.’
They’re there to burn down what we should be building up in terms of investments and education and scientific research,
and all that it is that makes our country great and competitive,” she said.

According to the Washington Examiner, Pelosi later called the shutdown an “unthinkable tactic” employed by the GOP.
“I join the American people in their disgust in what happened in terms of the shutdown of government.
That’s an unthinkable tactic to use in a political debate,” she said. ...

Love that video of Schumer claiming that doing the very thing he tried to do was wrong.
Such a perfect proof of an axiom of our century, “If Democrats did not have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.”
We will have a civil war with these loons, mark my words.

[Guenevere]

OK I take you at your word
You have long been one of my ‘go to’ Freepers for info and insight

May God have mercy when this is fully revealed

“....Sorry Michelle, that is what happens when there is a video of your Senator sodomizing and 10 year old Haitian boy.....”

Nothing would surprise me...NOTHING, when it comes to this insane, corrupt, evil azzhole. IF there is such a video, it needs to be made available in it’s entirety to the “unwashed masses” ASAP....or better yet, maybe just save it up just before election time. IF there is a video of him, then there must be videos of many others of his ilk.

LOL! The 2010 Tea Party rally in D.C. made this look like a PTO bake sale.

Source, please?

[MNDude]

haha. I was joking! (sort of)

[JerseyDvl]

Leftist radicals have hijacked the budget to run our government and fund critical things like the military, who never take a day off and make a pittance in comparison to the pampered ruling class.
The fact it’s been made into an immigration bill and a DACA based debate is shameful and wildly inappropriate which most Americans can plainly see.. I hope these idiots keep it up because they will get clobbered in the mid-terms for placing the needs of law breakers over the Armed Forces and hard working Citizens that they are SUPPOSED to be supporting.

[Envisioning]

....it was still a larger public manifestation than anything the Tea Party ever managed...

Wow! Really? Maybe only because the MSM never reported it.....

And what in the hell does DACA have to do with women's rights? And by women's rights do they only mean abortion or is there something else I missed?

Schumer Sells Out the Resistance

Schumer paid attention to the polls, which show that Democrats are on the losing end of the illegal immigration debate.

Of course, we can always count on GOP idiots like Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham to ignore those same polls and ride to the rescue of "The Resistance" by insisting on some amnesty with nothing in return for border wall funding.

[Spok]

Historically, it’s the Republicans who fold. The left is freaking out because the tables are turned. What is different now? Trump?
